Turner gesture helps UN seal U.S. budget cut deal
United Nations negotiators reached a tentative agreement to reduce U.S. shares of the U.N. budget after Ted Turner offered to cover a 34 million shortfall. The deal would lower the U.S. administrative budget share from 25 to 22 percent and the peacekeeping share from 31 to about 26 or 27 percent, ending months of wrangling as Clinton aides sought Congressional approval and donors weighed up future costs.
