U.N. office in D.C. targeted
By Betsy Pisik THE WASHINGTON TIMES
NEW YORK The United States this week proposed shutting down the influential office of the U.N. representative in Washington, prompting complaints from some U.N. officials that the move would curtail the organization's access to Congress.
U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte suggested closing the $1 million-a-year U.N. Information Center (UNIC) at a meeting of the U.N. budget committee Tuesday, one of several proposed cost-cutting measures.
U.N. officials were aghast at the suggestion, saying they had been assured that UNIC-Washington was not to be included in a planned consolidation of information centers around the world.

Let's just keep out toys and send them packing. The folks who founded the damn thing wanted it to morph into world government then, and they are trying hard, even today, to make it one. I am sure New York could use the office space--better yet, make apartments.
