Mr. BEGIN (Director, Budget Division) confirmed that it was a revaluation of the appropriations for 1982-1983, which had amounted to $14,800. According to current norms, that amount corresponded to three consultant work-months. 34. The CHAIRMAN said that the question of the transfer of the Committee for Programme and Co-ordination from section 4 to section 1 of the proposed programme budget would be examined when the Committee took up section 4. 35.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the allocation of funds and budgeting for the United Nations' activities related to the Palestinian people, specifically the Division for Palestinian Rights and the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People. The language used is formal and bureaucratic, suggesting that it is a meeting record or report on a budgetary matter.
