UNITED NATIONS Distr . GENERAL S/17620 11 November 1985 ENGLISH ORIGINALI ENGLISH, FRENCH AND SPANISH LETTER DATED 4 NOVEMBER 1985 FROM THE SEXRETARY-GENERAL TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF ALL STATES MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS OR MEMBERS OF THE SPEIALIZED AGENCIES, CONTAINING A FURTHER APPEAL FOR VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE FINANCING OF THE UNITED NATIONS PEACE-KEEPING FORCE IN CYPRUS I have the honour of addreeeing through you, to your Government, my renewed appeal for voluntary contributions to assist in financing the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP).
