Editorial Note
Ambassador Johnson addressed the Security Council regarding the Egyptian case on August 20. He noted his impressions that the Council did not feel justified in condemning the United Kingdom and that the Council had genuine sympathy for the Egyptian desire for complete independence. After expressing his hope that the United Kingdom and [Page 798] Egypt would still reach agreement, he announced support for the Brazilian resolution. The text of his remarks is printed in SC, 2nd yr., No. 80, page 2114.
The Brazilian Representative had presented his resolution earlier the same day; for text, see ibid., page 2108. It differed inconsequentially from the draft quoted in footnote 2, page 797.
