The rest of the quote: "The U.N. makes New York City the world's political capital. The U.N. enhances America's position and prestige abroad...and its economy at home. Yet there is a movement in America to reduce our commitment and, specifically, funding to the U.N. An ill-conceived proposition that would achieve only symbolic savings in the federal budget, while greatly impeding the operation of the United Nations and hurt the economy of the U.N.'s host country -- the United States. The continued viability of the U.N. is critical to America's continuing mission to foster freedom and democracy throughout the world." -- Rudy Giuliani
