Senator Barry Goldwater was quoted in 1971 by the Congressional Record as saying:
The time has come to recognize the U.N. for the anti-American,
anti-freedom organization that it has become. The time has come for us
to cut off all financial help, withdraw as a member, and ask the U.N. to
find a headquarters location out...side the United States that is more in
keeping with the philosophy of the majority of voting members, someplace
like Moscow or Pekin
