mr. chairman , i yield myself such time as i may consume . 
our side is prepared to accept the gentleman 's amendment . 
we have heard very disturbing reports about possible contracting scandals involving kickbacks at the world meteorological organization and the world intellectual property organization in recent years . 
it will be extremely helpful to have our general accounting office also undertake a thorough review of these matters . 
we are looking forward to working with the gentleman from illinois ( mr. hyde ) xz4001920 and others to make certain that all u.n.-affiliated organizations achieve the appropriate reforms , and i thank the gentleman for offering this important amendment which will support our efforts . 
mr. chairman , i yield back the balance of my time .
