"My Administration continues to work with our Congress to resolve the issue so that we can meet our commitments to UNESCO. Of course, I had hoped to be able to report at this Board that this was solved, but unfortunately that is not yet the case. However, we will not give up. On April 10, President Obama delivered his budget request to the Congress. His budget includes a formal request for a waiver of the suspension of U.S. funding to UNESCO. It also includes funding for this year and previous years. We will keep pushing our rock up the hill until we reach the top because, we agree, the current situation is not sustainable."
