was subject to the approval of both the Council and the Assembly. Obviously, the approval of the Assembly was still required. However, it was his understanding that the relevant section of the report of the Economic and Social Council (A/38/3, chap. VI, sect. F) had been referred by the General Committee to the Fifth, not the Second, Committee. 6. The CHAIRMAN confirmed the understanding of the representative of Japan. In accordance with the decision of the General Committee, the section of the Council's report relating to the calendar of conferences was to be dealt with directly in the Fifth Committee. 7. Mr. VISLYKH (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) said that his delegation had serious objections to the calendar of conferences submitted by the Committee on Conferences. In drawing up the calendar, the Committee on Conferences should be guided by the decisions of the General Assembly with regard to the pattern of conferences, including the rule that bodies should meet at their established headquarters unless explicitly authorized to meet elsewhere by the Economic and Social Council and the General Assembly. The draft calendar of conferences annexed to the Committee's report, which was dated 1 September 1983, had been drawn up before any decision had been taken to authorize the regional commissions to meet away from their headquarters. Moreover, the calendar of conferences included other meetings and conferences which, as at 1 September 1983, had not been approved by the General Assembly. Thus, the Committee on Conferences had clearly exceeded its powers. 8. The Secretary-General's statement of administrative and financial implications (A/C.S/35/31) was unprecedented. The General Assembly was being asked to consider the financial implications of a draft resolution recommended by the Committee on Conferences when it stood to reason that it should instead be considering the financial implications of the decisions of the Economic and Social Council 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the approval process of a report by the Economic and Social Council, specifically the calendar of conferences, and the financial implications of a draft resolution. The language used is formal and bureaucratic, suggesting that it is related to international organizations and governance. The topic does not seem to be directly related to economic development, natural resources, or humanitarian aid, but rather to the administrative and organizational aspects of international cooperation.
