I have joined with Congressman LEE HAMILTON. the ranking member of the International Relations Committee in the House of Representatives. in putting forward some thoughts on reforms that can be accomplished without opening the Pandoras box of amending the charter. Let me summarize some of the suggestions: First. focus on the core agencies. The United Nations today has more than 70 agencies under its umbrella. We would finance only a handful of agencies that serve core purposes of the organization. for instance the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA]. the World Health Organization. and the High Commission on Refugees. Other agencies should be abolished. merged. or financed at the discretion of one or more of the core agencies. Second. peacekeeping.
