Abstract:

Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Gregory J. Newell includes as one of his "Five Priorities for U.S. Policy" to "insist on increasing U.S. Personnel in international organizations." This is welcome news. Newell seems to be breaking with the traditional indifference of the State Department to personnel matters at the U.N.
