                                 A BILL


 
 To prohibit United States contributions to the United Nations for the 
 purpose of paying or reimbursing the legal expenses of United Nations 
officers or employees charged with malfeasance, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. WITHHOLDING OF CONTRIBUTIONS TO UNITED NATIONS FOR LEGAL 
              FEES OF CERTAIN OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES.

    The United States may not contribute to the United Nations any 
funds to be used to pay or reimburse legal expenses incurred by current 
or former United Nations officers or employees in connection with 
proceedings arising out of alleged malfeasance in connection with the 
employment of such officers or employees with the United Nations. The 
President shall ensure that no United States contributions to the 
United Nations are used for such purposes, including, where necessary, 
by withholding from United States contributions to the regularly 
assessed biennial budget of the United Nations amounts equal to any 
amounts so paid or reimbursed.
                                 <all>
