This was a vote on an amendment by Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) prohibiting federal funds) from being used for renovation or construction at the United Nations (U.N.) headquarters. This amendment was offered to a continuing resolution funding the federal government through September 2011, and cutting $61 billion in federal funding for many government programs. Stearns urged support for his amendment: “Now, the renovations that are occurring on the U.N. ultimately are necessary, but the cost that is occurring is not….I want to be clear that…this amendment is not to obstruct the U.N. from making a safe environment for the workers and the visitors that come there but to encourage reform and use best business practices considering that the taxpayers are funding about a quarter of the amount of money they're spending for renovations.” |
