Recommends to the Trusteeship Council to complete its investigation, paying particular attention to the following:
a
The desirability of having the Administering Authorities inform the Trusteeship Council beforehand when they propose to create new administrative unions of Trust Territories with adjacent territories, or extend the scope of any existing union or federation ;
( b) The desirability, should it be impossible as a consequence of the establishment of an administrative union to furnish clear and precise separate financial, statistical and other data relating to a Trust Territory, of the Administering Authority concerned accepting such supervision by the Trusteeship Council over the unified administration as the Council may consider necessary for the effective discharge of its high responsibilities under the Charter,
( c) The desirability of establishing a separate judicial organization in each Trust Territory;
( d) The desirability of establishing in each Trust Territory a separate legislative body with increasing powers and with headquarters within the Trust Territory, and of eliminating any type of legislative action originating in any other legislative body with headquarters in a Non-Self- Governing Territory;
( e) The desirability of taking into account, before any administrative, customs or fiscal union is established or extended in its nature or scope, the freely expressed wishes of the inhabitants of the Trust Territories concerned;

Recommends that the Trusteeship Council complete its investigation, in accordance with the terms of General Assembly resolution 224 (III) and of the present resolution, and present a special report to the next regular session of the General Assembly on the results of its investigation and the action taken by it, with particular reference to any safeguards which the Council may consider it necessary to request of the Administering Authorities concerned, and that the Council continue likewise to observe the development of such unions and to report to the General Assembly at its regular sessions.
