A resolution warning the United Nations that United States funds will be cut off if the General Assembly expels or bars from membership Israel or any other democratic country was approved unanimously by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee March 23. The committee acted after it rejected by a 7-3 vote an amendment offered by Sen. Christopher Dodd (D. Conn.) that would have deleted the specific reference to Israel.
The three, who voted for the amendment — Dodd, Sen. Charles Percy (R. III.) and Sen. Joseph Biden (D. Del.) — then voted for the original resolution sponsored by Sen. Daniel Moynihan (D. NY).
