restrict consultations at its next session. Since some delegations, including Brazil, had not yet made proposals for priority issues because they had consid­ ered that that matter would be taken up at the first regular session, his delegation was opposed to the inclusion of an exhaustive list of such proposals in the Council's report. 91. Mr. FERRER (United States of America) said that his delegation had not requested that a list of proposed priority issues should be attached to the Council's report. It simply wanted the proposal it had 4th meeting-7 February 1986 13 made earlier in the meeting to be reflected in the summary record. 92. Mr. RAHMAN (Bangladesh) said that it was unfortunate that the proposals, which had been made informally in order to facilitate consultations, would appear in the summary record. His delegation under­ stood that the list was not an exhaustive one or even an indicative one, and that delegations, either indi­ vidually or collectively, would have the right to propose any other priority issue which they might deem appropriate. 93. Mr. FAREED (Pakistan) said that, in his dele­ gation's view, the list should not be included in the report. 94. Mr. LEE (Canada), referring to subparagraph (b), said it was a pity that the Council had been unable to select a topic at its organizational session. By deferring decisions of that kind, the Council impeded its ability to organize its work properly. 95. Mr. STEBELSKI (Poland) said that a non­ exhaustive list of the priority issues which had been proposed during informal consultations could be helpful in preparing for the first regular session of 1986 of the Council. However, if there was no agreement to have such a list, he did not wish to prolong discussion on the subject.
