A spokesman said "the United States has paid its full contribution for the period in question of $31,850,300." The spokesman added "it is now up to the United Nations Secretary Gen- eral to decide how to pro- ceed." The issue arose when the Soviets decided not to pay their shal.e of the cost, leading to specula- tion that the action was a warning to. the Carter Administration that the USSR must be included in any new U.S.-sponsored peace initiative in the Middle East. The Soviet Union said in a brief note to the UN it was withholding about $4.4 million in contribu- tions to the UN force policing the Israeli- Egyptian Sinai accord. The. note said "The Soviet Union had nothing to do with this agree- ment, concluded on a separate basis and actu- ally circumventing the- 355-4999.-7- , Geneva -peace confer- ence" on t re Middle East.
