We are now back to the basic premise. should a country which has 17 million poverty stricken people pay more than its fair share of an international organizations programs which are supposed to cure poverty in other lands? Should we pay 40 percent of the cost of the U.N. .Special Fund. 40 percent of the U.N. expanded technical assistance program. 70 percent of the U.N. Middle East refugee program. 50 percent of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Organization. and on and on ad infinitum? Should we follow the recommendations of the Clay Committee which recommended that we apply the same budget ceiling to both our assessed and voluntary U.N. budgets. or should we continue to allow other nations to avoid their responsibilities in this whole field of world welfare. We have been told that the reason we are paying more than our fair share is to get these programs underway because they are so terribly needed. and that as other nations see their need they will assume their fair share.
