number of official languages that staff members could learn free of charge. The General Assembly had requested the Secretary-<£neral to conduct a review for the purpose of exploring the possibility of limiting the number of official languages which might be learnt free of charge and to report to it thereon at its thirty-eighth session. A study had accordingly been undertaken, showing that the number of people studying a third language was small and that limiting the number of official languages that could be learnt free of charge would not result in substantial savings for the Organization.
