C. Organization of work 65. The Committee agreed to meet as required to take up matters related to the calendar of conferences and its implementation, in particular the consideration of intersessional departures from the approved calendar. In previous years, the Committee has held a two-week session to discuss substantive matters. In 1985, however, in the spirit of General Assembly resolutions 38/32 D and 39/68 В on the improved utilization of conference-servicing resources, the Committee decided to adopt a biennial approach to its work and to concentrate on matters related to the pattern of conferences and the optimum use of conference-servicing resources. It therefore decided to hold a one-week session only and met from 26 to 30 August 1985. In 1986, the Committee will concentrate on questions relating to the control and limitation of documentation. 66. The Committee also agreed to continue taking decisions by consensus, bearing in mind the substance of the items discussed and adopting a pragmatic and flexible approach in order not to impede the exercise of the Committee's functions. O- Programme of work 67. On the basis of a note by the Secretariat, the Committee discussed its programme of work for 1985 and agreed upon an agenda for its substantive session (see A/AC.172/103 and Add.l). The Under-Secretary-General for Conference Services and Special Assignments addressed the Committee at its organizational and substantive sessions. 68. At the final meeting of the substantive session, on 30 August 1985, the Chairman paid tribute to Mr. Godofredo Figueroa, the Secretary of the Committee and Chief of the Plannings and Meetings Servicing Section, who was leaving the Organization. Mr. Figueroa had been closely associated with the work of the Committee since its inception. 69. A list of documents submitted to the Committee on Conferences by the Secretariat appears in annex I to the present report.
