Congress Opinion Divided On UN Assessments
Washington AP reports the U S decision to drop the fight to force Russia to pay UN peacekeeping assessments drew both approval and condemnation in Congress. Sen J W Fulbright called it necessary for the General Assembly to function while Sen Rourke B Hickenlooper warned it signals a sad day for the United Nations and could affect future U N funding and prerogatives. Administration officials admitted embarrassment over prior assurances but argued the move was a setback for the UN General Assembly rather than a U S defeat.
