Mr. DITZ (Austria) said that his delegation had supported the Kenyan proposal on the understanding that the provisions of General Assembly resolution 31/140 would apply. OTHER MATTERS 40. The CHAIRMAN said that he intended to invite the representative of Cuba to conclude the statement begun at the 24th meeting. 41. Mr. PEDERSEN (Canada), speaking on a point of order, said that an unfortunate precedent would be established if the representative of Cuba was allowed to continue to deliver a statement which was totally unrelated to Fifth Committee matters. Accordingly, his delegation formally invoked the provisions of rule 113 of the rules of procedure and requested a recorded vote on the Chairman's ruling. 42. Mr. FONTAINE ORTIZ (Cuba), speaking on a point of order, said that the Chairman had ruled at the 24th meeting that the Cuban delegation might make a statement on a subject of current interest which was related to the work of the Committee.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be a meeting record of a United Nations committee, specifically the Fifth Committee, which is responsible for administrative and budgetary matters. The discussion revolves around procedural issues, points of order, and a statement by the representative of Cuba. There is no mention of specific economic, social, or environmental issues, leading me to believe that the category is more likely to be related to the functioning of the UN or its committees rather than a specific policy area.
