IS3.23 The1986-1987 estimate of$1,073,700 fo~expenses ofthegarageoperation atHeadquarters is$583,100 higherthantheestimate for1984-1985, theincrease beingattributable toprovision forthecostofsevenposts(1General Service and 6Security Officers) approved bytheGeneral Assembly atitsthirty-ninth session toprovide additional administrative support fortheoperation andsecurity coverage ofthegarageduringthehoursof4.00p.m.to8.00a.m.Inresponse to itsinquiries, representatives oftheSecretary-General informed theAdvisory Committee thatbecause oftheprojected reduction inincome, andpending astudyof thefeasibility ofusinganelectronic surveillance systeminthegarage, thesix Security Officer postshadnotbeenfilled. TheCommittee wasfurther informed thatthecostofacquiring anelectronic surveillance system, forwhichno provision hasbeenincluded intheestimates, wouldbe$200,000.i f 41/SeeGeneral Assembly resolution 39/236,II,andreportoftheAdvisory Committee (A/39/7, para.41). -213-f' /- t, t· IIS3.24 TheCommittee believes thatmeasures shouldbetakentoreduceexpenditures inthegarageoperation atHeadquarters, inviewofthereduced incomeprojected. Forexample, careful scheduling ofpatrols oftheHeadquarters complex, duringthe hoursof4.00p.m.to8.00a.m.,combined withinstallation ofanelectronic surveillance systemshouldobviate theneedforthesixvacantSecurity Officer posts. Accordingly, theAdvisory Committee recommends thatthesixSecurity Officer postsshouldbeabolished, withaconsequent reduction of$537,600 ($432,000 forsalaries, commonstaffcostsand$105,500 forstaffassessment) in theestimate ofexpenses. Atthesame time~theAdvisory Committee recommends that anamountof$200,000 beprovided foracquisition ofanelectronic surveillance system. TheneteffectoftheAdvisory Committee's recommendations wouldbeto reducetheSecretary-General's 1986-1987 estimate ofexpenses forthegarage operation atHeadquarters byanamountof$337,600, from$1,073,700 to$736,100.
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the financial operations of the United Nations Headquarters garage, including income estimates and expenses. The language used is formal and bureaucratic, suggesting a focus on administrative and logistical issues rather than development or humanitarian concerns. The discussion of income and expenses suggests a focus on management and budgeting rather than specific policy areas.
