House bill threatens U.N. funding over reforms
The House passed a 221-184 measure to withhold half of the United States dues to the United Nations if it fails to implement nearly four dozen reform steps. The move targets accountability and anti corruption, risking support for future peacekeeping missions. Committee Chairman Henry Hyde led the drive while the Bush administration warned the step could hinder joint reform efforts.
