The President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 81? It was so decided.
The President
The Assembly has thus concluded its consideration of all the reports of the First Committee. Due to the lack of documentation, we have to suspend this meeting for some 10 minutes. Let us say that we will resume at 5.15 p.m. During the suspension, the documentation will be made available.
