Editorial Note

On October 18, after five days of debate (GA (II), First Committee, pages 129–179), the First Committee voted to appoint a subcommittee “for the purpose of examining the United States proposal, any amendments thereto, and other proposals on the same subject, and reporting thereon to the Committee, along with any recommendations it thinks fit” (Ibid., page 611, annex 17b). The Soviet Union refused to participate in the subcommittee.
