| Robert's Golden Sayings | Coincidences start from the moment you are dreaming, hoping and looking for them. * | My Testament to the UN -A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 4 | In 1969, when I was Director of the UN budget, I once jotted down this note: 'The 'United States maintains around the world 429 major military bases, 2900 smaller bases, one million military personnel, 500,000 members of their families, 275,000 foreign workers, and spends for that between five and six billion dollars a year. In 1969, the UN budget was 168 million dollars and the total number of international civil servants of the UN and of all its specialized agencies and world programs, including secretaries, was 40,000.' And with that, the UN is supposed to deal with all the major problems of this planet from peace to human rights, from health to education, from development to the environment, from outer space to the atom, etc. In my view, the opponents of the UN budget should get their heads examined and be straightened out by their voters.
