TheCommittee isnotconvinced bythis explanation andtherefore recommends thatthecontinuation ofthesepostsnotbe approved withaconseguential reduction of$127,200 intheestimate. 28C.33 TheAdvisory Committee notesthatthenewtemporary P-4andGeneral Service posts"arerequested fortheimplementation oftheCareerDevelopment Plan, approved bytheGeneral Assembly atitsthirty-ninth session" (para.28C.38ofthe proposed programme budget).
