1 have but one remark to make in connexion with the President' s statement, with which my delegation is in agreement.
117. L'Union soviétique, on le sait, jugeait qu'à l'heure actuelle il n'y avait aucune raison de convo- quer d'urgence le Conseil de sécurité pour examiner la question en discussion…
l too, shall be very brief. As we know, the question of Mauritania's admission was considered in thef'ecurity CouncilDecember 1960 and in the General Assembly at its resumed fifteenth session.
222. The Mauritanian people have played apartinthe common struggle of the colonial peoples for their liber…
The Soviet delegation would like to say a few words in connexion with the results of the voting and to explain the reasons for which it voted for this resolution.
173. As I said before the voting, we considered that the drait resolution was inadequate and weak, and that the two amendments submitted…
1 should like to make only two comments. One concerns the investigationprovided for in the resolution adopted by the Security Counci!. It is clear to aU, 1 think, that when this decision was taken no one intended that the investigation should be entrusted to the United Nations Secretariat.

We heard statements from nearly …
First, l should like to make a correction to the President's statement as Iheard it in the interpretation-perhaps it was an error: he said that the draft resolution was rejected. l think that is premature.
l now see that the question is not one of difference in time which was referred to by the representative ofChile but rather of a difference of approach to the resolution itself andthe points con- tained in it.
188. The United States representative has proposed that we should sit without any recess …
The view put forward by the Chilean representative must of course be con- sidered, as must aU suggestions for a more careful consideration of proposaIs submitted to the Security Council.
