UNITED STATES CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 1958 TO JUNE 30, 1959: Eighth Annual Report to Congress by the Secretary of State Pursuant to Public Law 806, 81st Congress, June 16, 1960 (Excerpts)1 INTRODUCTION Public Law 806, 81st Congress, 2d session,2 provides that the Secretary of State shall report annually on the extent and disposition of financial contributions by the United States to international organizations of which it is a member. This is the eighth such report to the Congress and covers U.S. contributions for the fiscal year 1959, which total $123,895,043. Only the multilateral organizations and programs to which the United States contributes are included. Bilateral commissions have been excluded. U.S. financial contributions fall within two major categories. The first category, "Assessed budgets," are U.S. contributions to the regular operating expenses of those organizations in which this Government participates by virtue of a treaty, convention, special act of Congress, or Executive agreement. In this group, governments contribute to the organizations on the basis of a fixed scale of assessment or quota. From fiscal year 1959 funds, the United States contributed 33.28 percent of the total assessed budgets of 47 international organizations and the United Nations Emergency Force. This amount, $46,028,876, represents approximately 37 percent of total U.S. contributions. The second category, "Special programs financed by voluntary contributions," are contributions to economic development, science, relief, and humanitarian programs made on an entirely voluntary basis. There is no treaty or similar obligation to contribute beyond the pledge which a government may make for a specific amount and period of time. From fiscal year 1959 funds, the United States contributed $77,866,167 to such special programs. This amount represents 63 percent of total U.S. contributions.

Other international organizations-Continued International Council of Scientific Unions and ! Unless otherwise indicated, contributions to the international organizations listed are paid from appropriations made or allocated to the Department of State. In some cases differences exist between the U.S. assessment and the contribution paid because of such factors as credits applied to reduce assessments or because of U.S. statutory limitations on the amount authorized to be appropriated annually for payment of the U.S. share. Cases where statutory limitations prevented payment of the full U.S. share are footnoted. Unless otherwise indicated, the percentages shown are percentages of total scheduled assessments. The following are not included in this table: (a) The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), considered as part of the cost of U.S. participation in international conferences and meetings. The general agreement did not establish an international organization. Costs involved are reimbursed to the Secretariat of the Interim Commission for the International Trade Organization for servicing meetings of GATT. (b) The Inter-American Development Bank, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Monetary Fund, and the International Finance Corporation, financed by capital subscriptions from member governments and income from operations rather than by annual contributions. The United States was assessed $16,742,650 but received a working capital fund credit of $180,400. Of the amount shown, $1,684,995 was applied to the U.S. assessment for the calendar year 1958 and $1,315,005 for the calendar year 1959. The percentage shown applied to calendar year 1959. Of the amount shown, $538,261 was applied to the U.S. assessment for the calendar year 1958, $651,437 for the calendar year 1959, and $92,341 for the Organization's calendar year 1957 supplemental appropriation. The percentage shown applied to calendar year 1959. The United States was assessed $1,993,225 but received a credit of $107,657 and, in addition, paid a deficit of $42,117 for its 1957 contribution. Includes $112,493 as the U.S. contribution to the ordinary budget of the ITU and $117,260 as the estimated U.S. share of the extraordinary budget, which covers the cost of conferences and meetings. The United States was assessed $3,675,787 but received a credit of $274,685. The U.S. contribution is paid from funds appropriated to the Post Office Department. The amount shown for UPU includes $17,840 as the U.S. assessment and $573 to cover conference costs. The amount shown for the Postal Union of the Americas and Spain includes $53 paid toward special expenses of the union for 1958. The percentage shown is the U.S. share of both assessed and voluntary contributions for calendar year 1959. 19 The United States was assessed $32,000 but contributed the amount shown because of a statutory limitation which existed on the U.S. contribution. 11 Of the amount shown, $69,296 applied to the calendar year 1958 assessment and $70,238 to the calendar year 1959 assessment. The percentage shown is for calendar year 1959. The United States is not a member of CENTO but contributes toward its international budget on a voluntary basis. The amount of the U.S. contribution is roughly equal to that of each of the member gov ernments. The amount shown does not include the cost of U.S. Government employees loaned to the CENTO international staff, amounting to $49,483 for fiscal year 1959. 13 The U.S. yearly assessment was $5.283 but the amount shown was paid for calendar year 1959 because the United States was not a member for the full year. |
