| Title: U.N. Headquarters Renovation: No Accountability Without Transparency |
| Date: 6/20/06 |
| Time (EST): 2:30 PM |
| Place: Dirksen Senate Office Building, Rm. 342 |
| ********
This hearing will focus on the continuing lack of transparency for the massive UN renovation project in Turtle Bay, Manhattan. This is a follow up to last year's hearing, where the UN was called to account for wasted design money and a flawed and over-priced ($1.2 billion) plan. Now the plan's cost projection has sky-rocketed to $1.7 billion, millions more have been spent on new designs, and an itemized cost projection is still not available. The lack of transparency is a case study in the larger lack of transparency, accountability, financial and ethical integrity at the international body. |
