Department's organizational structure, it seemed doubtful whether the Department could implement all the progranunes planned for the remainder of 198 3 and for the biennium 1984-1985. J.\ccording to the figures provided in paragraph 3 of document A/38/7/Add.3, the ratio of programme delivery to project budgets would be 88 per cent in 1983. If that delivery rate, which was the highest ever planned for the Department, was not attained, estimated programme support income would fall proportionately, and that would result in a deficit both for 1983 and for the next biennium. As noted by the Advisory Committee in paragraph 12 of the same document, the reserve fund which had so far made it possible to finance the deficits would be almost depleted by the end of 1983. His delegation therefore endorsed the Advisory Committee's request to the Secretary-General to exercise maximum restraint in the management of section 7 of the budget and keep the Department's activities under constant scrutiny in order to avoid any deficit. 5. With regard to the recommendations contained in the report of the Joint Inspection Unit, his delegation was pleased to note that two of those recommendations had already been applied or were in the process of being applied. As far as the other recommendations were concerned, it was absolutely essential that the Department's operational activities should be governed by clearly defined terms of reference, representation in the field could be strengthened by calling on staff from the regional commissions and by working in co-operation with the Besident Representatives/Resident Co-ordinators, evaluation activities should be centralized and there should be close co-operation with the small administrative unit set up for that purpose by UNDP; finally, with regard to the recruitment of experts, it was to be hoped that that issue would be dealt with by the Secretary-General within 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the organizational structure and budget of a department within the United Nations, specifically the management of funds and resources.

The language used is also formal and bureaucratic, indicating a focus on administrative and organizational issues.
