Foreign Relations of the United States, 1951, Korea and China, Volume VII, Part 1

Editorial Note

The First Committee held two meetings on January 29; for the records, see United Nations documents A/C.1/SR.433 and 434. At the afternoon session, the Lebanese Representative (Malik) introduced two amendments to the United States draft resolution covering the points already agreed upon in United States–United Kingdom discussions over the past several days. The first amendment called for changing Paragraph 2 by replacing the words “rejected all” with “not accepted”; the second amendment proposed adding at the end of paragraph 8 the words “it being understood that the Committee is authorized to defer its report if the Good Offices Committee, referred to in the following paragraph, reports satisfactory progress in its efforts”.
