1/

Document A/915 contains the replies of the Governments of France and of the United Kingdom to the Secretary-General's note of 21 January 1949 concerning General Assembly resolution 222 (III) on the cessation of the transmission of information under Article 73 e of the Charter.

The following additional note dated 18 August 1949 has been received from the United States:

"The United States Representative at the Seat of the United Nations presents his compliments to the Secretary-General of the United Nations and has the honour to refer to his note TRI 135/1/01/WB, dated January 21, 1949 calling attention inter alia to General Assembly Resolution 222 (III) of November 3, 1948, on the Cessation of the Transmission of Information under Article 73 (e) of the Charter. This resolution points out that while the responsible governments, in General Assembly Resolution 66 (I) of December 14, 1946, enumerated seventy-four territories as falling within the scope of Article 73 (e) of the Charter, information on certain of these territories was not provided in 1947 and 1948. The resolution welcomes any advances toward self-government in such territories but requests the responsible governments concerned to inform 'the United Nations of the changes in the constitutional position and status

of such territories which have led these governments to consider unnecessary the further transmission of information and to furnish the Secretary-General of the United Nations with the appropriate documents.
