摘要：I am doing three things in my mission as Ambassador to the United Nations. First, and here is where I need your help, the United States needs to pay its bills to the United Nations. We owe US$ 1 billion, give a few or so million. Second, together we have to do something positive in the area of U.N. reform - and that is happening. There is no reason why the United Nations cannot run more efficiently with fewer people - more consolidated with respect to general functions. There is no reason why we cannot say that we should ask those tough questions on peacekeeping missions, like: "How much is it going to cost? What is the mandate? What is the agenda? When are we going to get out?"
