The subject of our meeting today is the result of the negotiations of the two delegates we have had in Leopoldville and in other parts of the Congo in order to prepare the ground for the effective implementation of A-2 and B-2 of tlie Gecurity Council resolution of 21 February. They had long and difficult negotiations for reasons explained in their memorandum* I wish on this occasion, first of all, to thank them — and I know I can speak for all of you -- for the very diligent and intelligent work which they have undertaken and carried through. The report is before you along with the result. The result is, of course, .1 what we must look at in particular. You will have gathered that the situation as regards the so-called agreement is the somewhat unusual one that while the other party, that is to say, the Congoleee authorities, is bound by their initialling of the paper and while, on the other hand, the negotiators on our side, are bound by their initialling, in view of the necessity for me to consult with you, the right of the Secretary-General to give his final approval or to re-open the question has been left open; that is to say/ the situation you are facing is not one in which this need be the last word, from the point of view of the United Nations.
