                             UNITED NATIONS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, last week, the United Nations 
General Assembly passed six anti-Israel resolutions, including yet 
another one that denies and distances Jewish and Christian ties to the 
Temple Mount.
  In fact, Madam Speaker, the General Assembly will have taken up 20 
anti-Israel resolutions by the end of this session and will have only 
brought up four--one, two, three, four--measures against some of the 
world's worst human rights violators like Iran, China, Russia, North 
Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba--combined.
  This just underscores, Madam Speaker, the need for systemwide reforms 
at the United Nations.
  With the new administration, Madam Speaker, we have an opportunity in 
the upcoming Congress to wield our considerable influence and leverage 
to promote and enact reforms by reassessing how we contribute taxpayer 
dollars to the corrupt U.N. system.
  The U.S. must stop legitimizing this farce at the United Nations. It 
is time for us to take action and bring much-needed reforms.
