United States Contributions to International Organizations
Report to the Congress for Fiscal Year 1997
Released by the Bureau of International Organization Affairs
U.S. Department of State, September 2000
(Link to all years available.)
Introduction
This report covers United States contributions to international organizations and programs for fiscal year 1997, October 1, 1996 to September 30, 1997.
The contributions listed in this report which supported U.S. participation in multilateral affairs are administered by the Department of State, or the Agency for International Development, except where otherwise indicated. The report deals with contributions to multilateral organizations, i.e., intergovernmental bodies having three or more members.
The amounts reported are actual U.S. contributions made during fiscal year 1997. The adjustments made include credits, Tax Equalization, Working Capital Fund, deferrals, mandatory reductions, e.g., Palestine Liberation organization withholdings and other statutory limitations.
Bilateral organizations are not covered in the text or in the total figures, nor are the international financial institutions such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The latter are the subject of a separate report to the Congress by the National Advisory Council on International Monetary and Financial Policies. Other items of expense excluded from the tabular presentation include:
- The cost to the U.S. Government of the salaries and expenses of American employees detailed to the secretariats of international organizations; e.g., the North Atlantic Treaty Organization;
- Loans to international organizations which are to be repaid to the U.S. Government;
- Commodities donated pursuant to Public Law 480, except such commodities specifically pledged as a part of a U.S. contribution; and
- Two-party contractual or other arrangements between an agency of the U.S. Government and an international organization for research or other services.
The attached charts and tables summarize U.S. assessed and voluntary contributions to international organizations for Fiscal Year 1997.
