MEETING AT THE HAGUE, 1929 OPINION No. 1 STUDY OF QUESTIONS ON THE PROGRAM OF MEETINGS OF THE C. C. I. R. The C. C. I. R., considering (1) that it is neither necessary nor possible, under the General Regulations, to set up permanent bodies for the study of questions on the program of meetings of the C. C. I. R., (2) that there may be questions still unsettled after meetings of the C. C. I. R., unanimously expresses the opinion (1) that, at the end of the meeting of the C. C. I. R., the President should read a list of important questions to be solved, and (2) that he should ask which administrations are desirous of undertaking the preparation of proposals relating to the said questions and ready to collaborate with the interested administrations and with private enterprises, with a view to forwarding these proposals to the administration organizing the next meeting of the C. C. I. R. OPINION No. 2 LIAISON BETWEEN THE C. C. I. R. AND THE INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF THE TELEGRAPH UNION The C. C. I. R., after a discussion on the question of its future organization, in which the representatives of the following countries took part: Belgium, Spain, United States of America, France, Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Czechoslovakia and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, after the declarations of the Director of the International Bureau of the Telegraph Union concerning the steps which he proposes to take to secure the assistance of technical experts without any increase in the sums allotted to the Bureau by the administrations, after the declaration of the United States of America with regard to the articles of the Washington Conven­ tion and General Regulations referring to the relations
