C. Contributions to International Organizations

417. UNITED STATES CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1959 TO JUNE 30, 1960: Ninth Annual Report to Congress by the Secretary of State Pursuant to Public Law 806, 81st Congress, Transmitted August 9, 1961 (Excerpts)1

INTRODUCTION

Public Law 806, 81st Congress, 2d session,2 provides that the Secretary of State shall report annually on the extent and disposition of financial contributions by the United States to international organizations of which it is a member.

This is the ninth such report to the Congress and covers U.S. contributions for the fiscal year 1960, which total $145,571,084. Only the multilateral organizations and programs to which the United States contributes are included. Bilateral commissions have been excluded.

U.S. financial contributions fall within two major categories. The first category, "Assessed budgets," are U.S. contributions to the regular operating expenses of those organizations in which this Gov

ernment participates by virtue of a treaty, convention, special act of Congress, or Executive agreement. In this group, governments contribute to the organizations on the basis of a fixed scale of assessment or quota. From fiscal year 1960 funds, the United States contributed 33.16 percent of the total assessed budgets of 49 international organizations and the United Nations Emergency Force. This amount, $57,144,888, represents approximately 39 percent of total U.S. contributions.

The second category, "Special programs financed by voluntary contributions," are contributions to economic development, science, relief, and humanitarian programs made on an entirely voluntary basis. There is no treaty or similar obligation to contribute beyond the pledge which a government may make for a specific amount and period of time. From fiscal year 1960 funds, the United States contributed $88,426,196 to such special programs. This amount represents 61 percent of total U.S. contributions.
