Noting that the programme budget of the United Nations contains considerable appropriations for construction of premises,

Further requests the Secretary-General to submit to the General Assembly at its thirty-fifth session a report on current procedures governing the disposal of surplus property and equipment, together with recommendations on how those procedures can be improved in the interest of maximizing income from the sale of surplus property and equipment.
