Letters from the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences (A/54/313/Add.1 and 2)
The President
I should like to draw attention to the two letters dated 15 September 1999 from the Chairman of the Committee on Conferences addressed to the President of the General Assembly, contained in document A/54/313/Add.1 and 2. As members are aware, the Assembly, in paragraph 7 of resolution 40/243, decided that no subsidiary organ of the General Assembly should be permitted to meet at United Nations Headquarters during a regular session of the General Assembly unless explicitly authorized by the Assembly.
As indicated in document A/54/313/Add.1, the Committee on Conferences has recommended that the General Assembly authorize the Preparatory Committee for the special session of the General Assembly on the implementation of the outcome of the World Summit for Social Development and further initiatives to meet in New York during the main part of the fifty-fourth session of the General Assembly.
May I take it that the General Assembly adopts this recommendation of the Committee on Conferences?
