**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the calculation of salaries and benefits for officials of the United Nations and the United States government, specifically comparing the costs of living in New York and Washington, D.C. It seems to be focused on the administrative and financial aspects of managing these officials, rather than any specific economic development, environmental, or scientific issues.
