Print Name of Person Submit Image Signature of Person Submit Note for the file On Friday, 26 December 1975, Ambassador Malik of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics called to request that the Secretary-General be informed that his Government had decided to remit $5,996,014 for its contribution towards UNEF for the period 25 April 24 October 1975 and an additional contribution for the first year of operation of UNEF, amounting to $2,968,027. He wished to emphasize his Government's view that in expending these resources maximum efficiency and economy will be exercised, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. The Permanent Representative of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, Ambassador Tchernouchtchenko, called a little later to inform that his Government had decided to pay an amount of $184,OOO for the period 25 April-24 October 1975 and $91,080 for the first year of operation of UNEF. Shortly thereafter, the Permanent Representative of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Ambassador Martynenko, gave the corresponding figures of $684,OOO and $338,580 for his Government. I assured the three Ambassadors that the information provided by them would be promptly communicated to the Secretary-General, which I did on Saturday, 27 December. I also informed Mr. Davidson on 29 December. He had received intimation of the payments from the Office of Financial Services and told me that now the three Governments had paid all the outstanding dues under this account.

Notes for the Meeting of UNEF Troop contributing Countries

The report on UNEF was circulated last Friday evening as Document S/11849. The most important recent development is the conclusion of a new interim agreement between Egypt and Israel. 2. in the conclusion of the report, the Secretary-General has recommended a further extension of the UNEF mandate. In so doing, he has referred to the relevant provisions of the new agreement. Those provisions are contained in article 5 of the Agreement, which reads "UNEF is essential and shall continue its functions, and its mandate shall be extended annually". -7 in the report, *i*»*> jg^y-gj-aTy-rigngigai hal/^outlined the functions entrusted to UNEF by the new agreement and the additional UNEF personnel required in this connexion. In addition to limited increases of the Canadian and Polish logistics contingents, some 75O all ranks would be required. After careful study, it is considered that the best way of achieving this increase is to reinforce^by one_ company___each of the present non-logistic contingents of UNEF. Naturally, this would require the agreement of each of the contributing countries concerned and, if necessary, ..alternative arrangements would be considered. <3*&e^ Soorotagy XlcnaggjL-will , of course, approach formally the Missions concerned on this matter as soon as the Security council has taken a decision on the mandate of UNEF. 4 . ^^T|te--Seeyefeary»G9ner alr-may-w4sh-;feo- ask General Koho to show the map the areas of operations and the redeployment of UNEF which would be required under the new agreement. 5.

In the concluding observations, I am intending to include the following two sentences in relation to the extension of the mandate of UNEF: "Both parties have requested that the mandate of UNEF be extended for a period of one year. I therefore recommend that the Security Council extend the mandate of UNEF for the period indicated." Before circulating this report, I should be most grateful to have a confirmation from you that this formulation is acceptable. With warm regards,

NOTE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL

1. On k August 1975, the President of the Security Council received a communication from the Secretary-General, which read as follows: "I should like to inform the members of the Council of my thinking as regards the future co-ordination of peace-keeping operations in the Middle East. "There are at present three peace-keeping operations of different kinds in the Middle East area, namely, UWTSO, UNEF and UNDOF, which deal with related problems and share certain common services. There would be, I believe, great advantage in establishing a co-ordinating mechanism for their activities and administration. Since the constitutional origins and the mandates and functions of these three operations are different, it is obviously not possible to unify them, and they will maintain their operational identity. However, I believe that it would be of advantage to all concerned, including the parties themselves, the countries providing contingents and also the United Nations, if a greater degree of co-ordination among the three operations could be established. Such an arrangement should also make it possible to some extent to streamline the administrative and logistical set-up. "In the light of the above, I propose to appoint Lieutenant-General Ensio Siilasvuo, who is currently the Commander of UNEF, as the Chief "Co-ordinator of UNTSO, UNEF and UNDOF operations in the Middle East. It is also my intention, if the Council so consents, to appoint Major-General Bengt Liljestrand, who is at present Chief of Staff of UNTSO, as Commander of UNEF. As the Council is already aware, Major-General Hannes Philipp has been appointed as Commander of UNDOF. For the time being, in view of the somewhat restricted nature of its current activities, I believe that UNTSO could be run adequately by the existing staff in Jerusalem. General Siilasvuo and his small staff would utilize the existing accommodation, communications and facilities of the headquarters of UNTSO. General Siilasvuo would continue as necessary to discharge his functions in relation to the Military Working Group of the Geneva Peace Conference on the Middle East and would be responsible for liaison and contact with the parties on important substantive matters relating to peace-keeping in the Middle East.

"Should the Council be agreeable to the above proposals, my intention would be to put them into force as soon as possible."

75-16226 /... The Security Council Recalling its resolutions 358 (1973), 3^0 (1973), ^ (1973),, 3^6 (197*0 > 362 U97*0 and 368 (1975) Taking into account the letter dated lU July 1975 addressed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Arab Republic of Egypt to the Secretary-General (S/11757), Bearing in mind the appeal addressed by the President of the Security Council to the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt on 21 July 1975 (S/11771) and expressing satisfaction tgl^h the reply of the Government of the Republic of Egypt thereto. Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) of 16 July 1975 (S/11753), Expressing concern at the continued state of tension in the area and the lack of progress towards the achievement of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East,

1. Calls upon the parties concerned to implement immediately Security Council resolution 333 (1973) 2. Decides to renev the mandate of the United Nations Emergency Force for a period of three months, that is until 2k October 1975 3. Requests the Secretary-General to submit at the end of this period or at any time in the intervening period a report on the situation in the Middle East and the steps taken to implement resolution 338 (1973)•

NOTES ON THE MEETING OF COUNTRIES CONTRIBUTING CONTINGENTS TO UNEF HELD ON FRIDAY, 18 JULY 1975

Present: See attached list.

The Secretary-General, after indicating that UNEF had functioned smoothly during the last three month period, turned to the question of the renewal of the UNEF mandate. He observed that while Egypt had stated that it did not consent to the renewal of the mandate, it did not close the door to the continued presence of the Force in the area. He noted that efforts to achieve a second disengagement in Sinai were being pursued actively under United States auspices. If no concrete results were achieved in this regard, the Security Council would have to find a way to get out of the present dilemma, In this connexion he made clear that UNEF could not be maintained without a mandate froii the Security Council. If the Council were unable to agree on a mandate, then some sort of interim arrangement, with the consent of the parties, would be required. In reply to a question by Mr. Czarkowski (Poland), he added that such interim arrangements would have to be endorsed by the Security Council and would have to be made on or before 24 July. Ambassador Rydbeck (Sweden), in reply to a question by the Secretary-General, stated that no results had been « achieved in the informal consultations so far held by the Security Council. He expressed concern at the present situation. He strongly felt that if the parties were prepared to accept some sort of interim arrangements, they should so inform the Secretary-General as soon as possible. .V 6 Page 2:

Mr. Bruce (Canada) shared Ambassador Rydbeck's concern. If UNEF were to function under interim arrangements, he would have to refer the matter to his Government and for this he would require at least 24 hours advance notice. The Secretary-General did not feel that the Force would be rushed out. The present situation was very different from that of 1967. He had the distinct impression that Egypt wanted to find an accommodation that would enable UNEF to stay. He would of course do his very best to try and obtain a clear decision from the Security council before the mandate expired. Mr. Djigo (Senegal)felt that in view of the approaching deadline it might be desirable to concentrate on finding suitable interim arrangements immediately. The Secretary-General observed that the Security Council was primarily interested in finding a concrete solution. It seemed premature at this stage to search for interim arrangements which could only be a palliative. Ambassador Jankowitsch (Austria),referring to UNFICYP., stated that his Government was concerned about possible disturbances in Cyprus which, according to information it had received, might break out on 20 July on the occasion of the anniversary of the Turkish invasion of the Island. The Secretary-General stated he had received similar information from UNFICYP, UNFICYP had taken the necessary precautionary measures. In particular, the matter was discussed with Turkish and Turkish Cypriot representatives who had given assurances that restraint would be exercised.

give Si me &n~»M~».i- ^ — -^ntingents to j5ae_J3ni£e,d N^ions_ Emergency -FtSroGP (u^FT~Sni3-™bO'-'±Me-': I have asked you to join me in this informal meeting on the eve of the

consideration by the Security Council of the mandate of UNEF

for the purpose of exchanging views on matters concerning the

Force.

As you know, I have submitted a report to the Security Council on the activities of UNEF covering the past six months,

which has been circulated^ Afi-^ee^onte-^fc-175^. As indicated in my report., the situation in the area has been quiet during the period. The cease-fire has been maintained, and there ha^_ been no significant violations. For this, due credit belongs

to the soldiers of the contingents provided by your governments,

whose performance has been on a uniformly high level. Thanks

to their v4*g&&!&et&!&as&fKi devotion, problems relating to the observance * of the disengagement agreement have been solved effectively, and the integrity of the zone of disengagment has been maintained. Inspections of the zones of limited forces and armaments have been carried out regularly, with the co-operation of military observers Of UNTSO.

The functioning of UNEF has been generally smooth. However, the problem relating to the freedom of movement of all contingents - 2 - in the operational area remains unresolved. "Tran^ the Force ^A/3 J-— Commander have pursued this matter with the Government concerned, r taking the position that UNEF must function as an integrated and efficient military unit,, in which all the contingents are to serve on an equal basis under the command of the Force Commander. I shall continue my efforts to achieve this objective. 40 Let me now turn on.the imoortant question of the renewal of A the mandate of UNEF, which is to expire on 24 July. As you know, the Government of Egypt has indicated that it does not consent to a further renewal of the mandate. However, it states at the same time that it is not against the proper use of the -force.

The detailed views of the Egyptian Government^are_ set forth in a letter addressed to me by 4&e_J2epu£3M&4^^

Mr. Ismail Fahmy, which has been circulated(

The Government of Israel for its part favours an extension of the UNEF mandate for a further period of six months. Following the circulation of the Egyptian letter, the Acting Permanent Representative of Israel addressed to the President of the Council a letter stating the position of his Government on this matter. This letter has/tfeen <-H -roni ^-h^ri ^. ( In the concluding part of my report, I have observed that pending the conclusion of an over-all settlement, the situation in the Middle East as a whole continues to be fundamentally - 3 - unstable and that the possibility of maintaining the present quiet will depend on the further progress of the search for a just and lasting settlement of the Middle East problem, as called for by the Security Council. I have then reiterated my view that the continued presence of UNEF is essential not only to maintain quiet in the Egyptian-Israeli sector, but also to provide an atmosphere conducive to further efforts towards the achievement of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East and to assist, if required, in such further efforts. The matter obviously will have to be decided by the Security Council. As you know, members of the Security Council are in the process of holding informal consultations, and a. : formal meetingfoj f the Council will be held Before we can get a clear picture of what will happen in the future, we must wait for the meeting of the Security Council and the steps that the Council will decide upon in order to get out of the present dilemma. I sincerely hope that a way will be found to extend the stationing of UNEF for a further period, for the withdrawal of the force at the present time would inevitably create a very dangerous situation. Before concluding, I wish to express once again my d?58^-» appreciation to your Governments for the support and co-operation they have given to UNEF. I would also like to express the hope that your Governments will agree to continue to provide contingents for the Force, should the Council.decide to extend the stationing of UNEF for a further period. L /,

you are aware,, the current mandate -of UNEP will continue until the 24th of July. In the meantime^ the Security Council will meet* At present intensive consultations are tinder way among the njembers of the Security Council,, I aaa An continuous contact with the President and individual members of the Security Council as vjell aa the parties concerned, I hope that we can avoid a vacuum in the area and that the Security Council will be able to agree on a satisfactory solution. As I have stated in my report to the Council, I consider the continued presence of UNEF to be essential not only to maintain quiet in Sinai, but also"* to provide an atmosphere conducive to further efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace. STATEMENT MADE BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL OVER THE TELEPHONE .TO THE ISRAELI BROADCASTING CO., JERUSALEM

As you are aware 5 the current mandate of UKEF will continue until the 24th of Jttly* In the meantime,, the Security Council vrf.ll meeto At present intensive consultations are under way among the members of the Security Council. I am in continuous contact with the President and individual members of the Security Council as well as the parties concerned. I hope that we can avoid a vacuum in the area and that the Security Council will be able to agree on a satisfactory solution.

18 July 1975 dm Obviously I am very much concerned with this development, Since I consider the role of UN peacekeeping forces in the Middle East of crucial importance.

After having received the relevant information from the Egyptian Government/ I immediately informed the President of the Security Council. It will now be up to the Council to consider this matter and to decide on the further steps to be taken. I myself shall of course remain in close contact with the members of the Council and the parties concerned. The Secretary-General is deeply concerned at the chain of action and counter-action which has continued with the recant incidents in Lebanon. He appeals to all aides to refrain frcxm acts which will bring further bloodshed and human suffering, especially at a time when variotas efforts are being made to make progress towards a peaceful settlement of the problems of the Middle East.

The Secretary-General Mr. R.E. Guyer Mr. F.T. Liu Mr. E. Suy Mr. G. Sherry Mr. R.J. Ryan / Mr. G. Lansky General L. Koho Mr. H. Debatin Mr. J. Jonah Mr. K. Herndl

Mr. Guyer opened the meeting on behalf of the Secretary- General, who, owing to an engagement with Chancellor Kreisky of Austria, was delayed, and read out the Secretary-General's statement, which is attached.

Ambassador Karhilo of Finland expressed his appreciation for the Secretary-General's statement. It was the intention of the Finnish Government to maintain its contingent in UNEF should the Security Council renew the Force's mandate. Finland's final decision would be taken after the Security Council's meeting. Referring to the financial aspects, he noted that his Government was concerned about the slowness of the reimbursement effort. Recalling that the General Assembly at its last session had approved a formula of $500 per-man-per-month, plus an additional amount of $150 per-man-per-month for specialists, he urged that reimbursement - 2 -

to troop contributors must "be concluded at an early date, possibly making all payments for the first two six-month periods. He was grateful that efforts were under way to reach an agreement on the percentage of specialists that would receive the extra $150 per-man-per-month. He hoped that the matter would be kept under close study.

Ambassador Anwar Sani of Indonesia stated that he got the impression from the Secretary-General's report that enthusiasm for the support of UMEF was diminishing for the financing of the Force. Consequently, the troop contributors, who would like to be reimbursed quickly and the Controller, who would like to receive prompt payments, were faced with great difficulties. The key question was whether the Force could be maintained if the necessary financial support was not forthcoming. He sought clarification from the Controller on this point.

In response, Mr. Debatin, Assistant Secretary-General, Controller, gave some details about the financial situation. He noted that of the total amount of $119.8 million budgeted for the Force, $77.2 million had already been collected. Governments who had not completed their payments were being urged to do so. He recalled that the position of principle taken by four governments would result in the amount of $7.7 million being uncollectable. The amount of money available had obviously affected the ability of the Organization to make reimbursement payments to troop contributors. Out of the $77•2 million already collected, $57.6 million had been paid in cash. Of that amount $20 million was paid directly to troop contributors. The amount of $11 million represented definite obligations to be met at an early date by the Controller. Since it is essential for the Controller to have some money in reserve, the amount of $10 million was being held for that purpose. The financial picture that had been drawn should indicate the limitations - 3 -

within which the Controller had to operate. In any case, some payments had "been made the previous Friday and a meeting to "be held that week would discuss modalities for further payments.

Responding to Ambassador Karhilo's suggestion as to the timing of payments, Mr. Debatin asserted that on a technical basis it would not be ideal to make full payments for the first six-month period to be followed by full payment for the second six-month period. For proper accounting it would be advisable to consider the first year as one unit. Since the Controller was bound to keep all obligations he could not give priority to troop contributors. His main objective was to work out a concerted, well-balanced scheme of payments.

The representative of Poland, Minister Czarkowski, made comments regarding freedom of^movement to which his Government attached great importance as a matter of principle as well as its economic implications. In this connexion he referred to paragraphs 16 and 20 of the Secretary-General's report on UHEF (S/ll670) that dealt with the question of freedom of movement. He wondered why the matter had been dealt with separately in these two paragraphs. Mr. Czarkowski further expressed satisfaction with efforts being made by the Controller to achieve an accelerated system of reimbursement. While noting that UMEF was in its second year with no certainty as to the date of its termination, he expressed concern that the cost of the Force was expanding, particularly for troop contributing countries.

Mr. Guyer, responding to the Polish representative's comments regarding paragraph 16 of the Secretary-General's report, noted that freedom of movement in that paragraph was dealt with as a matter of principle and that efforts were being actively pursued to resolve the matter. The treatment in paragraph 20 had been reaction to specific incidents. The Secretary-General, who had joined the meeting in the meantime, stated that all possible efforts were being made to secure freedom of movement for all contingents. However, there were certain limitations as to what he could achieve. He and General Siilasvuo had repeatedly raised the matter with the Israeli authorities. The Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander of UUEF, who was from Ghana, could now move freely.

On another matter he informed the representatives that he had just talked with the President of the Council and had been informed that the Council would hold informal consultations on Wednesday, April 16, with a public meeting of the Council planned for Thursday. The purpose of the informal consultations was to discuss his report and a draft resolution prepared by the non- aligned members of the Council. He had maintained close contacts with the parties concerned and was happy to state that calm prevailed in the area. Furthermore, close co-operation existed between all members of the Force and apart from the problem of freedom of movement UNEF had close co-operation with the parties.

Ambassador Bydbeck of Sweden stated that his Government was ready to maintain the Swedish contingent with IMEF, depending of course on the renewal of the mandate by the Council. He expressed support for the views given by the Finnish representative on the matter of reimbursement. He was struck by the fact that some Governments had not yet made payments for their assessed contributions. He appealed to all members to do so since failure to make payments was affecting the financial stability of the Force as well as the ability of the Organization to make payments to troop contributing countries.

Ambassador Rae of Canada stated that the Canadian authorities were appreciative of the frequent contacts with the Secretary-General to discuss his report to the Security Council and other matters prior to the meeting of the Security Council. He also expressed support for the views stated by the representative of Finland on - 5 -

the matter of reimbursement. He further expressed appreciation for the close contacts that had been established with the Controller's Office on financing matters. In this connexion he supported the appeal of the Swedish representative to members to make payments on time.

The Secretary-General, in the absence of further comments, stated that he would make appeals to Governments to pay up their assessed dues.

The meeting came to an end at 12.20 p.m.

JJ/PMtf 18 April 1975 NOTES FOR THE SECRETARY-GENERAL'S STATEMENT AT THE MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF COUNTRIES CONTRIBUTING CONTINGENTS TO UNEF 15 APRIL 1975

In my report, I have made it clear that the continued presence of UNEF in the Sinai is essential at this delicate stage, and I have therefore recommended that the Council should extend the mandate of the Force. The importance of UNEF is not only in maintaining quiet in the Egyptian-Israeli sector, but also in providing an atmosphere conducive to further efforts toward the achievement of just and lasting peace in the Middle East and assisting in such further efforts, if required. We all of course realize that the possibility of maintaining the present quiet and preventing a new outbreak of hostilities will depend on the prospects of further progress in the search for a just and lasting settlement of the Middle East problem. I profoundly hope that it will prove possible to achieve such progress despite certain recent difficulties and setbacks. - 2 -

The situation in the area has been quiet for the past six months, and for this due credit belongs to the soldiers of the contingents provided by your Governments whose performance has been on a uniformly high level. Thanks to their vigilance and devotion, problems relating to the accurate observance of the disengagement agreement have been solved effectively, and the integrity of the zone of disengagement has been maintained. Inspections of the zones of limited forces and armaments have been carried out regularly, with the co-operation of military observers of UNTSO, and the results transmitted only to the parties, as provided in the agreement.

Of the two problems relating to the functioning of UHEF which I had occasion to mention to you and to the Members of the Council on past occasions, one - concerning the rates of reimbursement to your Governments for costs incurred in consequence of supplying troops to UHEF - has been dealt with by the General Assembly. The other, concerning the freedom of movement of all contingents in the operational area, remains unresolved. I and the Force Commander have pursued this matter with the Government - 3 -

concerned, taking the position that UNEF must function as an integrated and efficient military unit all of whose contingents serve on an equal basis under the command of the Force Commander.

I now turn to the financial aspect of this peace-keeping operation of the United Nations. I am informed that a further payment was made last Friday toward the amounts due to troop contributors for basic troop costs for the first period of UHEF. I understand that the Controller has pledged to make further payments for troop costs at the earliest dates that funds for this purpose are available. It is, of course, my policy, as well as an obligation of the Organization, to expedite these payments to the maximum extent possible in the spirit of the General Assembly resolution of last fall on this subject.

Before concluding, I wish to pay tribute to the Governments which have contributed contingents to UHEF and to express hope that your Government will be willing to continue to provide these contingents for the Force for the next period as determined by the Security Council u <

NOTES. FOR THE SECRETARY-GENERBfc,' A STATEMENT "|~ JM\ AT THE MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVE! OF COUNTRIES CONTRIBUTING CONTINGENTS TO UNEP 15 APRIL 1975

It gives me great pleasure to welcome the representatives of countries contributing contingents to UNEF, and to the related operation in the area, UNDOF. I have asked you to join me in this informal gathering on the eve of the consideration by the Security council of my report on UNEF for the period 13 October 1974 to 12 April 1975, which has been circulated as a Security Council document (S/1167O). The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for representatives of the troop contributing countries, together with the Secretary-General, to exchange views on matters of common concern in the discharge of the mandate laid down by the Security Council. In my report, I have made it clear that the continued presence of UNEF in the Sinai is essential at this delicate stage, and I have therefore recommended that the Council should extend the mandate of the Force. The importance of UNEF is not only in maintaining quiet in the Egyptian-Israeli sector, but also in providing an atmosphere conducive to further efforts toward the achievement of just and lasting peace in the Middle East and assisting in such further efforts, if required. We all of course realize that the possibility of maintaining the present quiet and preventing a new outbreak of hostilities will depend on the prospects of further progress in the search for a just and lasting settlement of the Middle East problem. I profoundly hope that it will prove possible to achieve such progress despite certain recent difficulties and setbacks. -2-

The principle of the extension of the UNEF mandate has been accepted by both parties, but its duration has given rise to some differences. The Government of Egypt has indicated to me that it will not, under the circumstances, object to the renewal of the mandate of UNEF for an additional period of three months ending 24 July 1975. The Government of Israel has informed me that it favours a six-month extension on the grounds that UNEF is an integral part of the Egyptian- Israeli disengagement agreement of 18 January 1974, and that a three-month renewal would be contrary to the spirit of that agreement. The length of the extension is a matter on which the Security Council will be reaching a decision. The situation in the area has been quiet for the past six months, and for this due credit belongs to the soldiers of the contingents provided by your Governments whose performance has been on a uniformly high level. Thanks to their vigilance and devotion, problems relating to the accurate observance of the disengagement agreement have been solved effectively, and the integrity of the zone of disengagement has been maintained. Inspections of the zones of limited forces and armaments have been carried out regularly, with the co-operation of military observers of UNTSO, and the results transmitted only to the parties, as provided in the agreement. Of the two problems relating to the functioning of UNEF which I had occasion to mention to you and to the Members of the Council on past occasions, one - concerning the rates of reimbursement to your Governments for costs incurred in consequence of supplying troops to UNEF - has been dealt with by the General Assembly. The other, concerning the freedom of movement of all contingents in the operational area, remains unresolved. I and the Force Commander have pursued this matter -3-

with the Government concerned, taking the position that UNEP must function as an integrated and efficient military unit all of whose contingents serve on an equal basis under the command of the Force Commander. I now turn to the financial aspect of this peace-keeping operation of the United Nations. I am informed that a further payment was made last Friday toward the amounts due to Troop Contributors for basic troop costs for the first period of UNEF. I understand that the Controller has pledged to make further payments for troop costs at the earliest dates that funds for this purpose are available. This is, of course, my policy, as well as an obligation of the Organization, to expedite these payments to the maximum extent possible in the spirit of the General Assembly resolution of last fall on this subject. The matter of determining specialist pay is under careful review and it is proposed that a meeting be held between the Secretariat and your representatives later this week in order to reach decisions at the earliest possible date on the amount of such payments. Subject to developments in that meeting as to the initial amount for specialist pay which can be supported based on available information, it appears that an amount to be applied to the first UNEF period could be paid at a very early date. Before concluding, I wish to pay tribute to the Governments which have contributed contingents to UNEF and to express hope that your Government will be willing to continue to provide these contingents for the Force for the next period as determined by the Security Council.

1. Pursuant to the recommendation made by Lieutenant- General Ensio Siilasvuo in his memorandum dated 27 January 1975, a copy of which is attached, it is proposed to award the United Nations Medal (UNEF) as an exception under Part IV, paragraph 3 of the Regulations for the United Nations Medal, to Cpl. K.F. Currie, Canadian National Service number 106277205, Part IV, paragraph 3 of the Regulations reads as follows: "Exceptions to designations under 1 (b) and (c) of this regulation may be made by the Secretary- General in individual cases in order to establish eligibility not otherwise existing where he believes that circumstances so warrant." 2. Cpl. Currie served with the United Nations Emergency Force from 26 September 1974 until 20 December 1974 and failed to meet the required ninety day qualifying period. His early departure was due to repatriation for medical reasons and beyond his control. For this reason, we propose that an exception to the ninety day rule should be made. 3. There are numerous precedents for exceptions under similar circumstances. It is, therefore, recommended that you approve the award of the Medal as an exception. UNITED NATIONS gp NATIONS UN1ES
