,romania1 #aj years before2 ,whereas the ,united ,states was #a of #adg member states of the ,united ,nations that agreed to participate in the conference2 ,whereas ,president ,ronald ,reagan1 in a ,may #cj1 #aihd1 pre-conference message to ,mexican ,president ,miguel de la ,madrid ,hurtado1 expressed the belief that the challenges posed by significant population growth in many developing nations could and should be met in such a way as to respect and enhance the freedom of the individual2 ,whereas ,president ,reagan's ,may #cj1 #aihd1 message continued3 ,we believe population programs can and must be truly voluntary1 cognizant of the rights and responsibilities of individuals and families1 and respectful of religious and cultural values4 ,when they are1 such programs can make an important contribution to economic and social development1 to the health of mothers and children1 and to the stability of the family and of society2 ,whereas ,president ,reagan's ,may #cj1 #aihd1 message culminated with the following statement3 ,our concern over the dimensions of demographic change is inseparable from a concern for the welfare of children--who are the ultimate resource of any

,buckley addressed a plenary session of the conference on ,august #h1 #aihd2 ,whereas ,ambassador ,buckley stated in this address that the ,united ,states does not consider abortion an acceptable element of family planning program2 ,whereas ,ambassador ,buckley's statement clarified ,united ,states policy along the following lines3 7#a7 ,first1 where ,united ,states funds are contributed to nations which support abortion with other funds1 the ,united ,states will contribute to such nations through segregated accounts which cannot be used for abortion42 7#b7 ,second1 the ,united ,states will no longer contribute to separate nongovernmental organizations which perform or actively promote abortion as a method of family planning in other nations42 and 7#c7 ,third1 before the ,united ,states will contribute funds to the ,,un ,fund for ,population ,activities it will insist that no part of its contribution be used for abortion and will also first require concrete assurances that the ,,unfpa is not engaged in1 and does not provide funding for1 abortion or coercive family planning programs4 ,should such assurances not be possible1 and in order to maintain the level of its overall contribution to the international effort1 the ,united ,states will redirect the amount of its intended contribution to other1 non-,,unfpa family planning programs42 ,whereas these
