The Secretary of State to the United States Representative at the United Nations (Austin)
461. US objective in SC consideration of reports adopted by CCA on Aug 1 is that they together with SC action thereon be before next GA.
To accomplish these objectives fol suggested: It is desirable report on census and verification proposals shld be considered separate from and prior to Second Progress Report. This will avoid entangling former in extensive discussions which cld develop in consideration of latter and will permit definite SC action on former prior to next GA. Accordingly as a first step a resolution shld be introduced calling for SC approval of census and verification proposals and recommending their implementation. If as anticipated that resolution is vetoed by USSR, a procedural resolution shld be introduced transmitting CCA report to GA along line of resolution transmitting atomic energy reports last summer. It might be desirable for Fr to introduce these two resolutions if they are so inclined.
Similar procedure shld be followed on Second Progress Report with transmission to GA as procedural matter if Soviet vetoes Resolution approving that report.
