recommendations as seemed desirable generally, but not with respect to individual territories. Nevertheless the Committee's report would
contain a reference to the current discussion, and it would be open
to any member of the Fourth Committee to draft a resolution on the
subject for consideration by the Assembly.
Mr. SOIDATOV (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) pointed out
that the Chairman had suggested that the Egyptian representative should submit his proposal in writing. He thought that that procedure should
be followed and that a decision on the matter should be deferred until
the meeting on Monday, so that members would have time to study the
document.
Mr. FARRAG (Egypt) would like to hear members' views on his
proposal. If it was not likely to be accepted by the majority he would
prefer that a vote should not be taken and that a reference to the
discussion should appear in the report.
The CHAIRMAN asked whether there were any objections to the
procedure proposed by the representative of India, with which the
representative of Egypt associated himself.
Mr. SOIDATOV (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) requested that,
in accordance with rule 109 of the rules of procedure of the General Assembly,
a final decision should be deferred until Monday's meeting.
Mr. FLETCHER-COOKE (United Kingdom) supported the representative
of India. It was for the Committee to decide whether it was competent to consider a proposal on the lines indicated by the representative of Egypt, and whether it wished to do so. As he had already stated, in the view of the United Kingdom delegation the Committee was not competent to consider such a proposal.
Mr. SOLDATOV (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) stated that,
if the majority of the members disagreed with his proposal that a decision
should be postponed until Monday's meeting, he would reserve the right to
make further observations on the matter later,
