Read this section in the full bill →

This section appears in one version only, so there is nothing to compare yet.

It is the sense of Congress that— (1) Congress retains ultimate authority over the obligation and expenditure of Federal funds for participation in international organizations; (2) such participation should occur only pursuant to explicit statutory authorization; (3) Congress should not authorize, appropriate, or otherwise make available Federal funds for any international organization whose charter— (A) grants the Chairman unilateral authority to determine membership in the organization; (B) grants the Chairman exclusive authority to create, modify, or dissolve subsidiary entities of the organization; (C) grants the Chairman unilateral authority to dissolve the organization; or (D) provides for an indefinite or self-perpetuating chairmanship, including a provision that the Chairman shall designate a successor and may be removed only upon voluntary resignation or incapacity, as determined by a unanimous vote of the Executive Board; and (4) Congress should require that any such charter provisions be revised or removed before the United States participates in the organization or provides financial support.
