                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Concerning the establishment of independent inspectors general at 
                      international organizations.

Whereas as a result of the March 1, 1993, report by then United Nations Under 
        Secretary General for Administration and Management, the Honorable 
        Richard Thornburg, concern has been raised about the United Nation's 
        deficiencies in dealing with fraud, waste, and abuse: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the President should pay urgent attention to persuading 
        the Secretary General of the United Nations to take immediate 
        steps to implement the recommendations contained in the March 
        1, 1993, report, giving prominent attention to the finding that 
        the United Nations urgently needs the establishment of a strong 
        and independent office of inspector general for the purposes of 
        internal program and administrative audit and efficiency 
        review;
            (2) the reports and findings of an inspector general should 
        be fully available to member states;
            (3) the President should seek to persuade other 
        international organizations of which the United States is a 
        member to establish independent inspectors general, where 
        applicable, in addition to other steps to develop effective 
        means to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse;
            (4) all program and administrative audit and efficiency 
        reviews should be fully available to the governing bodies of 
        such organizations; and
            (5) the President should include as a condition of new 
        membership (or renewal of suspended membership) in any major 
        international organization that the international organization 
        have effective program and administrative audits and efficiency 
        reviews which are provided to member states as expeditiously as 
        possible after such reports and findings are made.
