The present report, adopted on 29 December 1975, covers the period between 16 December 1974 and 15 December 1975. It follows, on the whole, the outline of previous reports in its body and annexes.

As a result of the Committee's discussion of its programme of work, the following items were deemed acceptable for consideration by the Committee either as procedural measures or as subjects of a general nature. 2/ 6. The procedural measures which the Committee decided to include in its programme of work were (a) allocation of meetings alternatively to specific cases or to subjects of a general nature; (b) periodic press conferences by the Chairman of the Committee; (c) the holding of occasional public meetings of the Committee; (d) the question of sending notes of inquiry to, and receiving written replies from, Governments represented on the Committee; (e) the authorization of the Secretariat to prepare notes with no-objection slips concerning sports events. 7. The subjects of a general nature which the Committee decided to include in its programme of work were (a) the expansion of sanctions against Southern Rhodesia; (b) the insurance of goods and of passengers going to or from Southern Rhodesia; (c) immigration, tourism and sporting activities involving Southern Rhodesia; (d) the question of the Committee's relationship with the Organization of African Unity (OAU); (e) the establishment of closer contacts with non- governmental organizations; (f) the list of countries to which 20 or more notes concerning violations of sanctions had been sent; (g) interline agreements with Air Rhodesia; (h) a manual of documentation and procedures for goods originating in southern Africa; (i) the question of, and possible methods for, reviewing older cases effectively. 8. Subsequently, the Committee also decided to include the two following procedural proposals in its programme of work: (a) establishment and circulation of lists of Southern Rhodesians involved in sporting activities outside of Southern Rhodesia, and (b) preparation of a third reminder to be sent to Governments which had not replied to the original inquiry despite two reminders. It also decided, in connexion with cases in which the United States Government had reported shipments of goods from Southern Rhodesia while other countries involved in shipping those goods had produced documents showing that the shipments in question were not of Southern Rhodesian origin, to include in its programme of work (general subjects) the question of conflicting reports of Member States on the origin of goods declared to have been imported from Southern Rhodesia. 2/ The proposals, views, conclusions and recommendations of individual delegations on the organization of work may be found in annex I to the present report. -2- A.
