The United States Representative at the United Nations (Lodge) to the Department of State
Delga 185. Re membership. Resolution on Laos and Cambodia unlikely to be voted on paragraph by paragraph unless we request it.

For these reasons we are inclined vote for resolution as a whole and make appropriate explanation of vote. We believe this approach achieves objective Department has in mind and is within spirit of instructions Gadel 77.
