Identifier: CAC_CC_002_6_38_14_0002

Scope and Contents

The text discusses the controversy surrounding the use of United Nations membership dues to support family planning organizations that perform abortions. The 105th passed legislation allocating funds for international family planning organizations with restrictions on abortion-related activities. The President signed the bills into law, but further complications arose due to a veto on a State Department Authorization bill. As a result, the U.S. membership dues to the U.N. remain unpaid.
