Soviet to pay share of Middle East peace force costs
The Soviet Union agreed to cover part of the six month 30 million dollar cost for a 7000 member Middle East peace keeping force under UN Security Council authority. Moscow will pay about 12.97 percent, conditional on the operation remaining under council control and not deviating from Moscow’s preferences. China has said it will not pay and did not vote.
