1984年12月19日，美国负责国际组织事务的助理国务卿乔治·纽厄尔在一次记者招待会上宣布，美国正式退出联合国教科文组织。他在招待会上指责联合国教科文组织在这年所做的改革还不够彻底，办公费用太高并向巴勒斯坦解放组织提供经费等。他还说，美国政府1983年12月31日决定，将把联合国教科文组织安理会的美国席位移交给联合国大会。
根据《纽约时报》当时的报道，纽厄尔在记者招待会上表示，美国的退出不会立即生效，需要经过联合国大会的批准。不过，他同时指出，美国已经向联合国教科文组织缴纳了1984年的会费，因此美国在1984年12月31日就会正式退出。
此次宣布退出联合国教科文组织是美国外交政策的一次重要举措。在当时的背景下，美国和联合国之间的关系紧张，里根政府对联合国教科文组织的支持态度有所动摇。此外，美国国内经济和社会问题也成为了美国决策的考虑因素。
在此次退出联合国教科文组织后，美国与联合国之间的关系一度紧张。不过，随着冷战的结束，两国之间的关系逐渐缓和，美国也逐渐重新回到联合国教科文组织。目前，美国是联合国教科文组织的重要成员之一。

On December 19, 1984, the United States announced its withdrawal from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations George Newell made the announcement at a press conference, stating that the United States had decided to leave UNESCO. He criticized UNESCO’s reforms in 1984, pointing out that the organization had provided funding to the Palestine Liberation Organization. He also stated that the US government had decided to transfer its seat on the UNESCO Executive Board to the General Assembly of the United Nations.
According to reports in the New York Times at the time, Newell stated that the withdrawal would not take effect immediately and would require approval by the General Assembly of UNESCO. However, he also pointed out that the United States had already paid its membership fee for 1984, so the withdrawal would become effective on December 31, 1984.
This announcement of withdrawal from UNESCO was a significant move in the United States’ foreign policy. At the time, relations between the United States and UNESCO were tense. The Reagan administration had been struggling with its support for UNESCO. In addition, economic and social issues at home were also factors in the decision-making process.
After the withdrawal, relations between the United States and UNESCO一度紧张。However, with the end of the Cold War, relations between the two countries began to improve, and the United States gradually returned to UNESCO. Currently, the United States is one of the important members of UNESCO.
