Most of the countries that voted for this declaration are also racist, Chomsky said. He added that it is laughable when U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Daniel Patrick Moynihan calls Ugandan President I di Amin a "racist murderer...
...Ford Administration averted a second damaging shake-up in the highest reaches of the Government. With political reverberations over his Cabinet shuffle of two weeks earlier not yet stilled, the President obviously could hardly afford a second crisis. Thus he was expected to do what he could to assuage Moynihan and keep him on the job.

Among the guests on hand at Manhattan's Plaza Hotel: 1976 Conservative Aspirant Ronald Reagan, 1964 Conservative Aspirant Barry Goldwater, and even a sprinkling of Democrats, including U.N. Ambassador Daniel Moynihan, who is a possible contender for Brother James Buckley's Senate seat. Though his conservative biweekly is now running in the red, Bill Buckley had only the highest hopes for NR as well as Candidate Reagan's chances for the presidency.
