TheCommittee isnotconvinced bythis explanation andtherefore recommends thatthecontinuation ofthesepostsnotbe approved withaconseguential reduction of$127,200 intheestimate. 28C.33 TheAdvisory Committee notesthatthenewtemporary P-4andGeneral Service posts"arerequested fortheimplementation oftheCareerDevelopment Plan, approved bytheGeneral Assembly atitsthirty-ninth session" (para.28C.38ofthe proposed programme budget). Inthisconnection, theAdvisory Committee notesthat theGeneral Assembly didnotapprove acareerdevelopment plan,rather, by paragraph 6(d)ofitsresolution 39/245itrequested theSecretarY-General to pursuehisworkonthedesignandimplementation ofacareerdevelopment system. TheAdvisory Committee alsorecalls thatinitsreport (A/39/7/Add.5) itnotedthat requests forstaffresources "aredifficult toevaluate intheabsence ofaclear indication ofwhatimpacttheproposals foracareerdevelopment systemwillhave ontheoverall workprogramme ofOPS,"andthatthe"required analysis and evaluation couldbestbemadeinthecontext oftheproposed programme budgetfor 1986-1987". 28C.34 Asexplained inparagraph 28c.38oftheproposed programme budget~itwas notpossible tocomplete theabove-mentioned analysis intimeforittobeincluded intheproposed programme budget. However, itisanticipated thatthiswillbe presented totheGeneral Assembly at~tsfortieth session. Pending suchan analysis, theAdvisory Committee fi~dsitdifficult toassesstherequest forthe twotemporary posts(1P-4and1Gen~ral Service) andtherefore doesnotsupport them.However, theCommittee recommends anamountof$99,400 undergeneral temporary assistance for1986.Intheeventthatthefull-scale analysis cannot, forwhatever reason, besubmitted totheAssembly atitsfortieth session, this provision shouldensurethatworkonthedevelopment ofthesystemcontinues without interruption unti'ltheforty-first session oftheAssembly. The consequential reduction inthesecretarY-General's estimate wouldbe$12,100. 28C.35 Asindicated bytheSecretary-General inparagraph 28C.38ofthep~oposed programme budget, anon-recurrent P-3post"isrequired fortheAdministrative ReviewUnitinordertoalleviate thebacklogofadministrative reviewcases".
