Senate rejects cut in U N funds amid UN protests
The Senate voted 55 to 28 to defeat Sen. James L. Buckley’s plan to cut U.S. contributions to the United Nations by 101.5 million, tying the outcome to Monday’s Taiwan expulsion. Sen. Peter H. Dominick’s smaller cut proposal fared better but also failed, as lawmakers kept focus on fairness of U.S. shares and voluntary aid programs.
