Philip M. Klutznick, former international president of B’nai B’rith, and for two years the United States representative on the U.N. Economic and Social Council, with the rank of Ambassador, was appointed here today as the U.S. representative on a new Ad Hoc Committee of Experts charged with examining the finances of the United Nations and its specialized agencies.
The committee, consisting of 14 members, is to submit to the next U.N. Assembly, which is to convene in September, recommendations for better utilization of funds “available through rationalization and more thorough coordination of the activities of the organization and to ensure that any expansion of those activities takes into account both the needs they are intended to meet and the costs member states will have to bear.”
