H R 2862 - On Agreeing to the Amendment 19 to H R 2862

Constitutional Vote: Yes

Vote Date: June 15, 2005

UN Dues Decrease. During consideration of the Commerce-Justice appropriations bill (H.R. 2862), Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) offered an amendment to cut the U.S. \"contribution\" to the United Nations by $218 million.

The House rejected Hayworth\’s amendment on June 15, 2005 by a vote of 124-304 (Roll Call 253). We have assigned pluses to the yeas because reducing U.S. dues to the UN is a step toward defunding it and getting the U.S. out.
