TIMOTHY E. WIRTH CALLS ON U.S. SENATE TO QUICKLY CONSIDER NOMINATION OF AMB. KHALILZAD TO REPRESENT U.S. AT U.N. (MaximsNews.com, U.N.)

UNITED NATIONS - / www.MaximsNews.com, UN/ - 21 March 2007 -- Timothy E. Wirth, president of the Better World Fund, recently expressed his hope that the U.S. Senate would move quickly to consider the nomination of Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad to represent the United States at the United Nations.

“We hope the U.S. Senate will move quickly to consider the nomination of Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, who signaled his appreciation for constructive U.S. engagement with the world," said Wirth. [See: Read Ambassador Khalilzad's Testimony.]

"We face unprecedented challenges and opportunities at the UN—from nuclear proliferation to global warming. Rapid action by the Senate will ensure the United States is represented at the highest level in these discussions.”

The Better World Campaign (BWC), an initiative of the Better World Fund, works to strengthen the relationship between the United States and the United Nations through outreach, communications, and advocacy.

It encourages U.S. leadership to enhance the UN’s ability to carry out its invaluable international work on behalf of peace, progress, freedom, and justice.

In these efforts, BWC engages policy makers, the media, and the American public to increase awareness of and support for the United Nations.
