Administration and management (continued) 1. The CHAIRMAN invited comments on individual parts of section 28. Section 28C. Office of Personnel Services 2. Mr. KELLER (United States of America) drew attention to paragraph 28C.28 of the proposed programme budget, which referred to a programme of publicity to identify qualified candidates from underrepresented countries and ·women candidates. It seemed strange that advertising should be directed only at those groups: he would have thought that Article 101 of the Charter required information on employment opportunities to be directed at all qualified candidates. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the administrative and budgetary aspects of the United Nations, specifically the proposed programme budget for the biennium 1984-1985. The discussion revolves around the Office of Personnel Services and the need to identify qualified candidates from underrepresented countries and women candidates. This suggests that the topic is related to employment and human resources within the organization.
