drug control was the concern of a particular group of countries and not of the international community as a whole. It was not right, therefore, to burden the Whole community with the expense. The programmes in question should be financed by voluntary funds. He requested a vote on the proposed appropriation and said that his delegation would vote against it. A/C.5/40/SR.36 English Page 8 36. Mr. ANNAN (Director, Budget Division) said that the Secretary-General's report on drug control co-ordination had already been issued, as document A/40/772. His Division would provide the programme budget implications if the resolution on the Conference was approved. It was quite understood that the drug control programme as a whole should not be subordinated to the Conference, preparations for which should go hand in hand with the regular work programme. 37. Mr. MAJOLI (Italy) said that his delegation believed that the money spent under section 20 was well spents everything possible should be done to combat that cancer of the modern age, drug abuse. He had hoped that the estimate would meet with general support and therefore regretted the position adopted by the Soviet Union. The figures before the Committee showed that estimated regular budget expenditures were much less than extrabudgetary resources. It was the duty of the United Nations to do all that it could to fight a terrible sickness which affected youth particularly. That did not, of course, exempt the Secretariat from using the money in the best and most effective way. His delegation would vote in favour of the proposed appropriation. 38. The CHAIRMAN invited the Committee to proceed to a decision on expenditure section 20. As he heard no objection, he took it that the recommendations of the Committee for Programme and Co-ordination were adopted. 39. It was so decided. 
**Analysis**
The text discusses the allocation of funds for a drug control program within the United Nations. The speakers mention the importance of combating drug abuse, particularly among youth, and the need to use the money in the best and most effective way. The discussion is focused on the financial aspect of the program, with no mention of scientific, social, or cultural aspects. This suggests that the category should be related to health or humanitarian aid and relief.
