solution to this conflict that is causing us so much concern. 25 I, The PRESIDENT fhtrrpr.c’tatiol7 fio/?z Chi- nrsrd): In view of the lateness of the hour, I intend to adjourn the meeting now. The remaining speakers on today’s list will be heard when the Council con- tinues its consideration of the item on the agenda.

Obviously we expected certain delegations to express their views, however unwelcome to us in substance, with sobriety and moderation, Obviously we expected other dele- gations to give vent to atrociously offensive. con- fused and ill-directed rodomontades against my coun- try, even including objectionable personal observations about the leadership of my Government. The For&n Minister of Panama even went so far as to imply that there might have been some difference between mY own judgements and recommendations and the in- structions I received from my Government. Nothing -nothing. Mr. President-could be further from the truth, I repeat, nothing, nothing could be further from the truth. 253.
