U.S. goals for the U.N. are: to increase its capacity for anticipating, avoiding, attenuating, and resolving crisis situations endangering world peace; to enhance its ability to act as a responsible forum in which the U.S. can carry on a productive dialogue for the resolution of real problems and disputes in a more rational manner; and, to increase international support for U.S. foreign policy initiatives. Consequently, we should make the U.N. more responsive to U.S. initiatives. Our major goal toward the U.N. Affiliated Agencies is to insure that these agencies carry out their mandates as efficiently and effectively as possible with program budgets that reflect fiscal responsibility. This requires evaluating the work performed by these agencies, encouraging efficient management and program evaluation procedures, discouraging attempts to politicize their deliberations and discouraging program growth. Our U.S. representatives in these organizations seek to further U.S. national interests by influencing program priorities, increasing the number of U.S. nationals working in them, and encouraging greater participation by the U.S. private sector in the activities of these agencies.
