A/BUR/40/SR.l English Page 2 The meeting was called to order at 11 a.m. ORGANIZATION OF THE FORTIETH REGULAR SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA AND ALLOCATION OF ITEMS: MEMORANDUM BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL (A/BUR/40/1) Section II. Organization of the Session 1. The CHAIRMAN drew attention to section II of document A/BUR/40/1 relating to the organization of the fortieth session of the General Assembly. By its decision 34/401, reproduced as annex VI to its rules of procedure, the General Assembly had adopted a number of provisions aimed at rationalizing its procedures and organization. Many of those provisions had already been implemented at the thirty-fourth to thirty-ninth sessions and were therefore not referred to in document A/BUR/40/1. The Committee might however wish to draw the General Assembly's attention to those provisions which had not yet been or had been only partly implemented. Paragraph 4 (General Committee)
