findings:</text>
<paragraph id="H3F7161C7BA94497BB19B0069557F6601"><enum>(1)</enum><text>The United States
pays billions of dollars into the United Nations system every year (over
5,300,000,000 dollars in 2005, according to the White House Office of
Management and Budget), significantly more than any other nation.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H793C9C13E194407FAAB7105447126344"><enum>(2)</enum><text>Under current
rules and contribution levels, it is possible to assemble the two-thirds
majority needed for important United Nations budget votes with a group of
countries that, taken together, pay less than 1 percent of the total United
Nations regular budget.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H8AF16F69902E497784C5635479BAF6A5"><enum>(3)</enum><text>The disconnect
between contribution levels and management control creates significant perverse
incentives in terms of United Nations spending, transparency, and
accountability.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="HF9C7CB2F29E04E65A810C41206ACF3E3"><enum>(4)</enum><text>The United Nations
system suffers from unacceptably high levels of waste, fraud, and abuse, which
seriously impair its ability to fulfill the lofty ideals of its
founding.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H1AADB8325A6B41B79E958BB1FA0BE34"><enum>(5)</enum><text>Amidst the
continuing financial, corruption, and sexual abuse scandals of the past several
years, American public disapproval of United Nations has reached all-time
highs. A 2008 Gallup poll revealed that 65 percent of Americans believe that
the United Nations is doing a poor job, a negative assessment shared by a
majority of respondents from both political parties. Research polling by
another firm in late 2006 found that 71 percent of Americans think that the
United Nations is <quote>no longer effective</quote> and needs to be
significantly reformed, while 75 percent think that the United Nations
<quote>needs to be held more accountable.</quote></text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="HA75CA5D93BD345C189C25CC4ACF708EA"><enum>(6)</enum><text>Significant
improvements in United Nations transparency and accountability are necessary
for improving public perceptions of and American support for United Nations
operations.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H1CBD3993957443DA8377188FA1FB2CF7"><enum>(7)</enum><text>Because of their
need to justify future contributions from donors, voluntarily funded
organizations have more incentive to be responsive and efficient in their
operations than organizations funded by compulsory contributions that are not
tied to performance.</text>
</paragraph><paragraph id="H1690F2F518B9447E958D32A62C1CFE74"><enum>(8)</enum><text>Article XVII of
the Charter of the United Nations, which states that <quote>[t]he expenses of
the Organization shall be borne by the Members as apportioned by the General
Assembly,</quote> leaves to the discretion of the General Assembly the basis of
apportionment, which could be done on the basis of voluntary pledges by Member
States.</text>

States assessed contributions to the United Nations regular budget, which are

contributions.</text>
