Mr. PEDERSEN (Canada), Rapporteur of the Fifth Committee: I have the honour to submit for consideration by the General Assembly three reports of the Fifth Committee, as follows. I 2. The first report on agenda item 92 entitled "Medium-term plan for the period 1980-1983" , is part I of the Fifth Committee's report [A/35/548], in para- graph 8 of which the Fifth Committee recommends a draft resolution for adoption by the General Assem- bly.

Draft resolution B, which deals with the question ofsummary records for meetings ofsubsidiary organs of the General Assembly, was adopted by the Fifth Committee by a vote of 87 to 6, with 20 ab- stentions. 5. Finally, I should like to introduce the Fifth Com- mittee's report on agenda item 97, on the scale of assessments for the apportionment of the expenses of the United Nations [A/35/564], paragraph 5 of which contains two draft resolutions which were adopted by the Fifth Committee without objection and which it recommends for adoption by the Assembly. Pursuant to rule 66ofthe rules ofprocedure, it was decided not to discuse the reports of the Fifth Com- mittee. "When the same draft resolution is considered in a Main Committee and in plenary meeting, a delegation should, as far as possible, explain its vote only once, Le. either in the Committee or in plenary meeting unless that delegation's vote in plenary meeting is different from its vote in the Committee." 8. May I also remind members that, in accordance with decision 34/401, explanations of vote should not exceed 10 minutes and should be made by delegations from their seat. 9. We shall now consider part I of the report of the Fifth Committee on agenda item 92, concerning the medium-term plan for the period 1980-1983 [A/35/548]. The Assembly has to take a decision on the draft resolution recommended by the Committee in para- graph 8 of its report. The Fifth Committee adopted that draft resolution without objection. May I take it that the General Assembly wishes to do likewise?

The draft resolution was adopted (resolution 35/9).
