draft resolutions that they consider important, to bring these draft resolutions to the Committee. If there are no further comments or questions, I shall consider that the Committee adopts the programme of work and timetable contained in document A/C.l/40/3. It was so decided. The CHAIRMAN: I should like to draw the attention of the Committee to the rules and recommendations set by the General Assembly affecting the work of the Main Committees, particularly those contained in document A/INF/136/Rev.l and decision 34/401, especially those provisions dealing with the explanations of vote, the right of reply, budgetary and financial questions and the work of the Main- Committees, which I intend to apply with the co-operation of all members of the Committee. In order fully to utilize the time available to the Committee and to avoid the loss of time arising from starting meetings late or ending them early, I shall, again with the co-operation of members of the Committee, convene meetings of the First Committee promptly at 10.30 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. and shall endeavour to close the meetings at 1.00 p.m., and 6.00 p.m~ respectively. In order to give members of the Committee ample opportunity to inscribe their names on the list of speakers, I shall open the list of speakers for the general debate on all disarmament agenda items as of today. Some delegations have already SK/8 A/C.l/40/PV.2 27 (The Chairman) signified their intention to speak and the Secretariat has taken note of those requests. I urge delegations to inscribe their names on the list of speakers before the Committee begins its substantive work. The list of speakers will be closed on 16 October at 6.00 p.m. In order to facilitate the task of the officers of the Committee as well as that of the Secretariat, members of the Committee should submit draft resolutions

The text mentions the adoption of a programme of work and timetable, the opening of the list of speakers for the general debate, and the submission of draft resolutions, all of which suggest that the committee is preparing for its substantive work.
