SESSIONS OF THE CONFERENCE,
(B) THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL AND
THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUDGET STATED THAT MUCH WOULD DEPEND UPON
WHERE SUCH MEETINGS WOULD BE HELD. AND THE PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY
OF OBTAINING AN ADEQUATE STAFF. REFERENCE HAD BEEN MADE IN THE
SECRETARYwGENERAL'S STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL
IMPLICATIONS TO PROVISION FOR MEETINGS OF SUCH GROUPS DURING
THE APPROVED PERIODS OF THE SESSIONS OF THE CONFERENCE. BUT
OTHER MEETINGS EITHER BEFORE THE THIRD SESSION OR BETWEEN SESSIONS
COULD BE (A) SERVICED FROM PERMANENT RESOURCES IF AVAILABLE. OR
(B) FINANCED, IF THE FIFTH COMMITTEE AGREED, BY RECOURSE
TO THE RESOLUTION ON UNFORESEEN AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES.
WITH THE PRIOR CONCURRENCE OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
(C) ON REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT IT WOULD BE
DESIRABLE FOR THE FIFTH COMMITTEE TO PLACE ON RECORD, IN THE
LIGHT OF THE IMPORTANCE ATTACHED TO THE CONFERENCE, ITS
SUPPORT FOR THE PRINCIPLE OF FACILITATING HOLDING MEETINGS
OF GROUPS, WHICH MAY REQUIRE INTERPRETATION AND OTHER SERVICES.
BOTH BEFORE AND BETWEEN SESSIONS OF THE CONFERENCE. UNQTE.
5. SOV REP SOUGHT REDUCTION TO 1,7 MILLION BUT, LACKING
SUPPORT, DID NOT PRESS ISSUE TO VOTE-
61 IN EXPLANATION BEFORE THE VOTE IN PLENARY AMB,
STEVENSON NOTED LAST YEARS RES WAS CLEAR MANDATE TO
COMPLETE WORK IN 1975 AND EXPRESSED BELIEF THAT CURRENT RE'S
DOES NOT PRECLUDE ADDITIONAL INTERSESSIONAL WORK IN 1975. HE
SAID ,IT WOULD BE OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SECRETARIAT COULD
PROCEED TO DO THE BEST IT COULD TO ENSURE THAT IF THE CONFERENCE
DETERMINED SUCH WORK WAS NECESSARY, APPROPRIATE ARRANGEMENTS
WOULD BE FORTHCOMING," HE ADDED:
QTE; AS THE MANY EXPERIENCED NEGOTIATORS IN THIS ROOM WELL
KNOW, THERE COMES A TIME IN ANY NEGOTIATION WHEN ITS
COURSEMOVES RAPIDLY FORWARD TOWARD PRECEIVED SOLUTIONS OR A
BREAKDOWN OCCURS, IT SEEMS TO ME EIVIDENT THAT THE MOMENT MUST
COME AT GENEVA. IF THE WILL IS THERE TO MAKE THE DECISIONNS AND
THE ACCOMMODATIONS THAT ARE NECESSARY, WE SHALL HAVE THE MOMENTUM
TO MOVE TO A SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION.
QTEi THOUGH MY GOVERNMENT IS SECOND TO NONE IN PRESSING FOR
A TIMELY SOLUTION BY THE LAW O F THE SEA CONFERENCE AND I N
SEtKI'NG A WORK PROGRAMME TO THAT END, OUR SUPPORT FOR A TIMELY
CONFERENCE SHOULD NOT BE MISREAD AS A WILLINGNESS TO SACRIFICE

APPROACH OUR WORK IN THAT SPIRIT; AND IT CAN SUCCEED ONLY IF
ALL NATIONS IDENTIFY THEIR ESSENTIAL NATIONAL INTERESTS AND
REALIZE, IN TURN, THAT OTHERS HAVE ESSENTIAL INTERESTS THAT
MUST BE ACCOMMODATED, UNOTE.
7. UK (LUGAN) SAID MOMENTUM OF CONF. MUST NOT BE LOST BECAUSE
OF AN INFLEXIBLE SCHEDULE AND HE EXPRESSED HOPE GOVERNMENTS
WOULD MAKE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS TO CONTINUE NEGOTIATIONS I N
1975 IF CONF, DECIDES TO RECONVENE LATER IN YEAR.
8, USSR (KOLESNIK) EMPHASIED NEED FOR CONSENSUS AT CONF. AND
MOVES TOWARD DETENTE SHOULD BE POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON CONE. TO
AVOID MAKING OCEANS AN AREA FOR COMPETITION. REMAINDER OF
STATEMENT REFERRED TO UNIVERSAL PARTICPATION AND EXCESSIVE
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS.
9, CHINA (AN) SAID SUPERPOWERS WERE ATTEMPTING TO EMASCULATE
THE 200 MILE EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE BY RESTRICTIONS AND CONDITIONS.
SOVS WERE ACCUSED OF ABUSING RIGHTS OF SMALL STATES BY INSISTING
ON FISHING RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN THE ZONE.
HE SAID- "IN CONCERT WITH THE OTHER SUPERPOWER, IT (SOVS) HAS BEEN
ADVERTISING A PACKAGE AGREEMENT IN AN ATTEMPT TO EXCHANGE THIS
EMPTY NON-EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE FOR THE FREE PASSAGE THRU.
STRAITS," THIS, AND SAID, WOULD GUARANTEE THEIR FREEDOM TO
.PLUNDER LDCS AND PRACTICE HEGEMONISM.
10, FRANCE (SCALABRE) NOTED WORK MAY NOT BE COMPLETED IN
GENEVA, "HOWEVER, MY DELEGATION STILL HAS RESERVATIONS ABOUT
THE ADVISABILITY OF CONTINUING THE WORK, ONE WAY OR ANTOTHER,
AFTER. 10 MAY 1975, WHAT COULD NOT BE ATTAINED IN 50 DAYS OF
NEGOTIATION HAS VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF BEING SUCCESSFUL AFTER
THAT, UNLESS WE FIRST OF ALL HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME
FOR REFLECTION.?' SCALABRE EXPRESSED HOPE FOR CONCLUDING WORK
AND SAID FRANCE WOULD CREATE NO OBSTACLES BUT DECISION ON
WHETHER TO CONTINUE IN 1975 SHOULD WAIT UNTIL AFTER
