                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the Congress that former Secretary General of 
   the United Nations Kurt Waldheim should not receive a retirement 
                   allowance from the United Nations.

Whereas former Secretary General of the United Nations Kurt Waldheim currently 
        receives an annual pension of $102,000 from that body;
Whereas in 1986 Waldheim was exposed for his collaboration in the Nazi 
        extermination campaign in southern Europe during World War II and he was 
        barred from the United States;
Whereas Waldheim is a known Nazi war criminal who obtained his position at the 
        United Nations under false pretenses;
Whereas because of this, the United Nations should no longer be obligated to 
        fund a retirement allowance for Kurt Waldheim: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that the President should instruct 
the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations 
to act to amend the 1998-99 Regular Program Budget of the United 
Nations to eliminate funding of Kurt Waldheim's retirement allowance 
and to act to deny Kurt Waldheim a retirement allowance in all future 
budgets of the United Nations.
