It also serves as proof that the United States not only can but should take action to control our own resources. United States withdrawal from Unesco has been accomplished without apocalyptic consequences. leading one to conclude that similar restraint on the use of our dollars will likewise not bring the world to the brink of disaster. From 1981 to 1983. the U.S. share of selected Unesco programs was: $2.220.775 for aid to refugees and such "national liberation movements" as SWAPO. the PLO. and the ANC. $4.550 for a chauffeur and maintenance of motor vehicles for the President of the General Conference. $439.887 on travel and per diem for the Executive Board and President. $7.700 for medals conferred by the Directorate. $383.587 for interpretative services for the Executive Board. $283.275 for field staff salaries. and $3.967.350 for salaries of headquarters staff. Compare those generous amounts with: $1.800 on curriculum development and production of teaching aids in Pakistan. $25.950 for a special education advisor in Haiti. and a mere $250 for teacher training in Honduras. But they managed to find $1.144.000 of our money to spend on a conference on the Status of Women and participation of women in development.
