the codification of conference-servicing provisions contained in General Assembly resolution 31/140, section I, in the light of developments since that resolution's adoption in 1976. 36. In its report to the General Assembly at its thirty-eighth session, V the Committee submitted a draft resolution on the pattern of conferences (draft resolution C). During the discussion of the matter in the Fifth Committee, a number of amendments to the draft resolution were proposed. In the absence of agreement on those amendments, the Assembly requested the Committee on Conferences to examine the provisions of section I of resolution 31/140 and to report to the Assembly at its thirty-ninth session. 37. In 1984, following a discussion which included contributions from interested delegations not members of the Committee on Conferences, the Committee recommended to the General Assembly the draft resolution that was later adopted as resolution 39/68 C. At its 1985 substantive session, the Committee considered an in-depth report on the pattern of conferences contained in document A/AC.172/107. 38. During informal consultations, some agreement was reached on proposals made at the thirty-eighth session. At the 229th meeting of the Committee, on 26 August 1985, the Chairman reported that, in respect of the amendment relating to the provision of interpretation services to informal consultations, the following formulation appeared to enjoy general support: "The General Assembly "Requests the Secretary-General to continue to provide interpretation services to informal meetings on an ad hoc basis, in accordance with established practice." 39. Following further discussion at the 229th meeting, to which the representatives of Brazil, Egypt, India and Morocco were invited, it was agreed to exclude from the Committee's draft resolution on the pattern of conferences any reference to the issuing of invitations by specialized agencies to subsidiary organs of the General Assembly.
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the organization and procedures of the United Nations, specifically the General Assembly and its committees. It mentions the codification of conference-servicing provisions, the pattern of conferences, and the provision of interpretation services to informal meetings. These topics suggest that the text is related to the functioning of international organizations and the administration of international meetings, rather than a specific field like economic development or health.
