U.S. MISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS, NEW YORK, N.Y. $1,075, 739 1, 156, 000 1, 326, 000 Increase. Statutory authorization and background 170, 000 The United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (22 U.S.C. 287) provides for U.S. participation in the United Nations. Executive Orders 9844 (April 28, 1947) and 10108 (February 9, 1950) provide for the U.S. mission to the United Nations (USUN) and for its direction by the U.S. representative at the Headquarters of the United Nations, who, as chief of mission, is to coordinate the activities of the mission in carrying out the instructions of the President and the Secretary of State. Organization and activities The permanent U.S. mission consists of those persons who serve as U.S. representatives in the U.N. General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, the Security Council, and other U.N. bodies. In addition, the mission includes a Secretariat which assists the delegation to the U.N. in discharging its responsibilities. The U.S. representative to the United Nations and his deputies have additional responsibilities in representing the United States in the Disarmament Commission, Interim Committee, Collective Measures Committee, Peace Observation Commission, and the Palestine Conciliation Commission. The Security Council is technically in continuous session and meets on call of any member. The Trusteeship and Economic and Social Councils each hold two sessions annually. The Disarmament Commission, the Interim Committee, the Collective Measures Committee, the Peace Observation Commission, and the Palestine Conciliation Commission meet as required to meet responsibilities assigned by the General Assembly. Under the Economic and Social Council, there are seven functional Commissions (Social, Narcotic Drugs, Status of Women, Statistical, Human Rights, International Commodity Trade, and Population). The Human Rights, Status of Women, and Narcotic Drugs Commissions meet annually and the other four meet every 2 years. The seven U.S. members of these Commissions serve during the Commission sessions and are paid on a "when actually employed" basis, and then, only if not otherwise employed by the U.S. Government. The regular staff of the U.S. mission to the United Nations performs the following functions: (a) Diplomatic relations.-Represents the United States in meetings of the various councils, commissions, etc., presenting the U.S. position and negotiating with representatives and officers of the other 103 national delegations. Reports on high level policy matters and assists in the drafting of the U.S. position. Represents the United States at the United Nations on matters dealing with the budgets, operating programs, administration, and personnel staffing of the United Nations and its organs, the programs such as Palestine relief, technical assistance, U.N. field missions, U.N. Children's Fund, etc. Provides a continuous point of contact with the United Nations Secretariat and the representatives and staff of the other 103 member nations on diplomatic, organizational, procedural, and administrative matters. (b) Public affairs.-Administers all public affairs activities concerning U.S. participation in the United Nations at New York, including public correspondence. Provides information to correspondents, nongovernmental organizations, and broadcasting and other public information media. Personnel carrying on this activity play an important part in the preparation and presentation of U.S. positions as advisers on the propaganda and psychological aspects of strategy and tactics. (c) U.N. host country responsibilities.-Handles the host country liaison responsibilities with the United Nations and the 103 national delegations, and administers in New York the specific legal responsibilities of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), including assistance on visa problems, exemption from city and State excise taxes, issuance of monthly diplomatic lists for Federal, State, and local authorities and business concerns, and customs and immigration clearance. (d) Administrative and conference services.-Provides coordinating and supporting services necessary to the year-round functioning of the USUN and to U.S. participation in U.N. conferences, as well as other international conferences held in New York. During a calendar year, approximately 30 different United Nations bodies meet in New York for sessions lasting from a few days to over 3 months. The U.S. delegations to these sessions range from two officers (in a small U.N. body, such as the Statistical Commission) to as many as 50 officers in the General Assembly. Approximately 400 to 450 representatives, advisers, and supporting personnel from the State Department, the Foreign Service, other Government agencies, and from outside the Government serve each year on these delegations. The request for $140,330 reflects the following increases: $123,330 for personnel compensation is budgeted to provide $17,000 for salary increments and $106,330 for 14 additional positions.
