sometimes sending administrative analysts to the headquarters of the organization or instructing our local representatives, as in New York, to go into a particular problem. On the basis of this analysis, they recommend to me and through me to the Secretary, where necessary, the kind of improvements we would like to see made in the management of international organizations or in the handling of their finances.

Based on those recommendations, instructions are prepared to the American delegation to the next conference of that international organization where the matter can be taken up formally. This is done all around the year on all of the organizations-suggesting manage ment improvements, concerning ourselves with the persons who hold the top jobs and all of the policy jobs in the secretariats of these organizations, generally trying to make sure they are serving the interests we want them to serve.

REPORT ON EFFECTIVENESS OF MANAGEMENT OF THE UNITED NATIONS

Mr. LIPSCOMB. Has there been a recent review, report, or analysis of the management of the United Nations available to you or to the office?

Mr. CLEVELAND. Yes, sir. The Secretary General submits to the Fifth Committee

Mr. LIPSCOMB. Excuse me. I am talking about this office under your jurisdiction, the Office of International Administration.

Have they made a recent review, analysis, or report on the effectiveness of the management of the international organizations of the United Nations?

Mr. CLEVELAND. That is not the way it works. As a member of this organization, we present our views on what the United Nations ought to do on administrative and financial problems in the Fifth Committee of the General Assembly, the Administrative and Budget Committee of the General Assembly, so that the statement by the U.S. representative in that Committee-who was your colleague, Mr. Burleson, and Ambassador Klutznick-that is the place where the output of this office on this subject finally sees the light of day.

We do not publish ourselves a critique of the United Nations for general public distribution. We publish it for use at the point of sale, which is in the Budget and Administration Committee of the General Assembly.

Mr. LIPSCOMB. Has there been a recent report, analysis, or review of the effectiveness of the management of the United Nations by this office, your office?

Mr. CLEVELAND. The end product is not a report that this office issues. The end product is what the U.S. representative says at the United Nations,

Mr. LIPSCOMB. You must have a staff in the Office of International Administration and it says that this staff that is there keeps under constant review the effectiveness of the management of international organizations. The staff must be here in Washington?

Mr. CLEVELAND. Yes, sir.

Mr. LIPSCOMB. After they keep this constant review, then do they write a report or analysis and give it to somebody?
