submitted to the General AssemblYI the Advisory Committee had considered them in the past two bienniums and had decided to keep to its former position. The Committee was also not convinced of the need for another telephone operator post, as explained in paragraph 28.125. 31. A significant feature of the request under subsection 28.1 was the proposal for an increase in staff for security duties in Geneva, for which 22 additional posts were requested. Some of the posts would come from converting temporary assistance posts, some from redepl~ent within the subsection, and others from the creation of new posts. The justification for the request was the study conducted by the Administrative Management Service. The Advisory Committee accepted the need for some additional requirements for security in Geneva, but questioned the tendency to compare requirements in Geneva with those in New York. As explained in paragraph 28.131 of its report, it had modified the administration's estimate accordingly. 32. Other recommendations modified by the Advisory Committee under subsection 28! were for communications, miscellaneous expenditure, supplies and materials, furniture and equipment, as indicated in paragraphs 28.139, 28.140, 28.141, and 28.142 of its report. 33. Under subsection 28M, Administrative Services, Vienna, the Advisory Committee recommended a reduction of $653,400 in the Secretary-General's total estimate of $37,818,400. 34. The Committee had applied criteria similar to those used for the corresponding estimates in New York and Geneva, and had made reductions in the estimates for Vienna relating to communications, supplies and furniture and equipment, as indicated in paragraphs 28.186 to 28.188 of its report. Other, smaller reductions of some $21,000, relating to the Division of Administration, Geneva, required no further explanation. 35. The Advisory Committee had made a reduction of $103,700 under subsection C, Office of Personnel Services, and accepted the remainder of the Secretary-General's proposals. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing budgetary matters and administrative decisions related to the United Nations, specifically the Advisory Committee's review of the Secretary-General's proposals. The language used is formal and technical, with references to specific paragraphs and sections. This suggests that the category will be related to organizational or administrative matters, rather than a specific policy area like economic development or health.
