Every living former Secretary of State opposes the Bartlett amendment. including James Baker. Alexander Haig. George Schultz. and Henry Kissinger. This is hardly a bunch of freespending. bleedingheart liberals out to hand over U.S. sovereignty. They support U.N. funding not only because it is a legal obligation. but because it serves our national interest in contributing to global peace. prosperity and security. and because it serves our humanitarian interests in assisting refugees. improving human rights. and establishing the rule of law. Our continued failure to honor our obligations threatens our interests by threatening the U.N.s financial and political viability. Many of us recognize the need for U.N. reform.
