IT HAS BEEN a general principle of the United States to take grave exception to any action that weakens the United Nations as an effective forum for the peaceful resolution of international disputes.
We deplore in the strongest terms the recent vote in the Social Committee characterizing Zionism as a form of racism. Such action undermines the principles upon which the United Nations is based.
The spokesmen for the United States in the United Nations have expressed well and forcefully the views of this Administration and the American people on this issue.
