Two events had a considerable impact on the ICRC's financial position in 1971:(a) The message which the Swiss Federal Council addressed to the Federal Assembly, on 8 September 1971, regarding the Confederation's contributions to the International Committee of the Red Cross;(b) Payment by the Government of the United States of America of an extraordinary contribution of 1 million dollars, on 29 June 1971.
