1 hav~ had another indication that some members wish to speak. 1 shall be interpreting the rules correctly if 1 permit interventions on points of order in connexion with the proposaI ta adjourn. Otherwise, the proposaI has ta be voted without debate.

We are c1early in a position where it is becoming a matter of extreme inconvenience for some members of the Couneil, who might normally expect that meetings would end about 6 p.m., to find their engagements interfered with. Taking into account the questions 1 have been asked, 1 should like to propos…
In that case, l think that l am bound under rule 33 to put that proposaI to the vote. As members are aware, one of the cases included in rule 33 is a proposaI that discussion of a question should be postponed to a certain day. l am perfectly prepared to put to the vote the Soviet Union represen- tat…
Would the Soviet Union representative care to propose a date for the Council's next meeting? l have just put to the vote, as l was requested to do, a formaI motion under rule 33. That is rather different from the question of deferring to the personal convenience of one of the members of the Council.…
Under rule 33, l am obliged immediately to put to the vote the proposaI for the adjournment of the meeting which has just been made by the representative of Turkey. As l understand it, that leaves in the hands of the President the question of when the Council will next meet to discuss this question.…
It seems to me quite c1ear that the Chair must allow a debate on the proposaI made by the representative of France, if only because there are three members who have put their names on the list of speakers on this question of procedure. Therefore, the answer to the representative of China is that cer…
I have three more names on my list of speakers. At the same time, we have before us the suggestion made by the representative of France that we should consult the Couneil as to whether the Brazilian proposaI should be put to the vote forth- with. In this 1 am very much in the hands of the Council, b…
1 ought to draw the atten- tion of the Council for a moment to the fact that it is approaching our usual time to adjourn, 6 p.m. We normally suspend our meetings at this time. However, more than one member of the Council has expressed the wish that we should make an attempt to complete the adoption …
l ought perhaps ta point out ta 1'1- Malik that the United Kingdom suggestion has beer . "''1. l merely draw his attention to that fa, 11y, this dC'~s not prevent him from speaking of it if he wishes. Iiowever, as a suggestion, it no longer exîsts.
69. .Mr. Charles MALIK (Lebanon): In point of fact…
1 should now like to say a word as representative of the UNITED KINGDOM. The representative of France rightly interpreted the suggestion 1 made at our last meeting as designed purely ta help the Council out of the difficulty in which it has found itself over the past few weeks. At that meeting, l th…
l am in a slight difficulty 1 here - in which l am sure tht: Council will bear with me - in that l am in the position of President of the Couucil and, as l made dear in my opening remarks, 1 am particularly anxious to preserve a complete impar- tiality in this question. It foIlows from that that 1 s…
We turn now ta the question of our agenda. In accordance with the rules of proce- dure, the first item before us is the adoption of the agenda. The same provisional agenda has been before us for the last four meetings. The difficulty, as was brought out very clearly by my predecessor, has been the m…
On assuming my functions as President of the Security Council, 1 should like to pay a tribute ta the outgoing Pres::dent, the represeIltative of the Soviet Union. Perhap~ ncither he nor the mem- bet"s of the Council can der· \Te much satisfaction from the Council's work of the past month, since in f…
I must point out tp.at by Monday, 3 May, there will be a new President of the Security Council, if 1 am not mistaken, Sir Pierson Dixon. If he agrees, we can take it that, with the agreement of the new President of the Security Council, the meeting is fixed for Monday, 3 May. The meeting rose at 4.5…
Does anyone wisp. ta speak on this point? Is this proposaI acceptable to Sir Pierson? 39. Sir Pierson DIXON (United Kingdom): 1 have quite an open mind about the actual date. 1 certainly would not want to make an issue of it, and either Friday or Monday would be perfectly acceptable to me.
1 have no speakers on my list. Does anyone wish to speak, or can we accept as a formaI proposaI the informaI proposaI made by Mr. Sarper, who said that such questions cannot be decided in a hurry, that we must ref1ect on them carefully ~nd that we must also L
obtain instructions from our Government…
l should like to recapitulate briefly the position in 1Nhich the Security Couneil finds itself today. 2. At the meeting on 22 April [667th meeting], the Brazilian representative formally introduced, on his own behalf and on that of the Colombian representative, a proposaI which has been distributed …
May 1 once again draw the attention of represer.tatives to the fact that it is now 6.2G p.rn. Since 1 still intend to say a few words and would prefer not to do so today but at another time, in view of the lateness of the hour, 1 will ask members whether they would prefer to continue today's meeting…
