Hyde Comments on United Nations Deputy Secretary-General's Criticism of United States
6/7/2006 7:25:00 PM

WASHINGTON, June 7 /U.S. Newswire/ -- U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL), Chairman of the House International Relations Committee, commented today on the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General's unfair critique of U.S. policy regarding the United Nations:
Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown has unfortunately misinterpreted United States objectives at the United Nations. U.S. insistence on reform is a recognition of the U.N.'s global importance. Linking U.S. contributions to the U.N. with essential U.N. reforms is not 'unchecked U.N.-bashing and stereotyping,' but an effort to induce reforms that will allow the United Nations to serve its invaluable function. The reforms we support are reforms that the Deputy Secretary-General himself acknowledged are essential.
