in the Conference on Disarmament, we will be laying the foundations to enable this forum to live up to the international community’s expectations of us in the field of disarmament. More than 20 years ago, on 20 July 1969, man reached the Moon. On that momentous occasion, the representatives of the human race left a clear and bold message: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. We came in peace for all mankind". We hope that this commitment to peace will be answered with fruitful results in this Conference. The PRESIDENT: I thank the representative of Peru for his statement and the kind words addressed to me. That concludes my list of speakers today. Does any other member wish to take the floor? CD/PV.544 9 (The President) At the request of the Chairman of the Ad hoc Committee on the Prevention of an Arms Race in Outer Space, I wish to inform you that his consultations on the programme of work of the Ad hoc Committee are continuing and, accordingly, the meeting to be held by the Ad hoc Committee this afternoon at 3 p.m. is cancelled. I have no other business for today. I now intend to adjourn this plenary meeting.
