What does this mandate say?

3 operative paragraphs

Recommends the Secretary-General to continue to give favourable attention to the establishment of information offices in the new Member States, giving priority to those countries which, for linguistic or other reasons, cannot be adequately served through existing centres or through the information services of the specialized agencies and which have informed him of their interest in that regard;

Recommends the Secretary-General to keep the structure of the information centres under constant review and to renew his efforts to co-ordinate the information services of the United Nations with those of the specialized agencies in order to avoid duplication of work and to make it possible-by means of savings which may be made in other sections of the budget without prejudice to existing services, or by other administrative means within the competence of the Secretary-General-to set aside funds for the progressive establishment of the necessary information centres in new Member States;

Invites the Secretary-General to take into consideration the views expressed in the debate on this item in the Fifth Committee, both in the distribution o_f the funds appropri~ted for 1957 and in the preparation of the budget estimates for the financial year 1958.

21 December 1956.
