APPROACH BY FRG AMBASSADOR VON LILIENFELD TO SPANISH
FOREIGN OFFICE STATE SECRETARY ROVIRA IN PRESENCE ALSO
OF HEAD OF SPANISH LOS DELEGATION (AND DIRECTOR
GENERAL OF FOREIGN OFFICE PERSONNEL) ABAROA.
2, THE SPANISH REPRESENTATIVES STATED THAT THE
CURRENT REGIME, MEANING PRESUMABLY INNOCENT PASSAGE
IN STRAITS, APPEARS BEST TO THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT.
HOWEVER, GUS WOULD NOT OPPOSE EXTENSION OF TERRITORIAL
WATERS TO 12 MILES. THEY FELT THAT INNOCENT PASSAGE
IN STRAITS WAS IN INTEREST OF BOTH SPAIN AND WEST
AND PROVIDED GREATER POSSIBILITY OF CONTROL WITH
RESPECT TO NAVAL VESSELS INCLUDING SUBMARINES, FREE
OR UNIMPEDED PASSAGE WOULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF
CONTROL IN THE STRAITS OF GIBRALTAR, VLADIVOSTOCK AND
THE DARDANELLES (SIC),
3, THE SPANISH REPRESENTATIVES REQUESTED TO BE GIVEN
AN EXPLANATION OF THE MILITARY AND STRATEGIC CONSIDER-
ATIONS WHICH HAD RESULTED IN THE NATO POSITION BEING
VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL TO THE USSR POSITION IN THIS
MATTER, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO SUBMERGED PASSAGE
FOR NUCLEAR SUBMARINES. AN APPROXIMATION OF THE
SPANISH POSITION TO THAT OF NATO WOULD BE POSSIBLE
ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH CONSIDERATION OF THE
ENTIRE COMPLEX OF THE SPANISH RELATIONSHIP TO NATO
SPANISH BASE AGREEMENTS HAD PROVIDED GREATER BENE-
FITS FOR NATO THAN FOR SPAIN, PASSAGE THROUGH

PROBLEM FOR SPAIN WHICH INVOLVED A NEED FOR THE
SPANISH GOVERNMENT TO BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN TO THE
PUBLIC THE ADVANTAGES THAT A SETTLEMENT WOULD
PROVIDE FOR SPAIN, THE SPANISH REPS STATED THAT
OVERFLIGHT OF THE STRAITS COULD NOT BE SETTLED
IN THE CONTEXT OF A REGIME FOR THE STRAITS BUT
SHOULD BE THE SUBJECT OF SEPARATE AGREEMENTS,
4, IN THE FRG AMBASSADORS COMMENTS, HE STATED
THAT THE SPANISH POSITION CONCERNING THE STRAITS WAS
OBVIOUSLY AN IMPORTANT POINT OF LEVERAGE FOR THE
GOVERNMENT OF SPAIN IN ITS NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AND FOR SPAIN'S RELATION.
SHIP TO NATO, HE ANTICIPATED THAT THE OLD IDEA
OF THE CONVERSION OF GIBRALTAR TO A NATO BASE
COULD ARISE.

FORMULA BEGINNING,
WE ARE SATISFIED IN GENERAL WITH CONSOLIDATED TEXTS
ON BASELINES AND HIGH SEAS. THESE PROVISIONS WILL BE
ANALYZED IN MORE DETAIL WHEN THE SECRETARIAT PRODUCES
NEXT REVISION.
PERU AND SPAIN ARE STIL ENGAGING I N DISRUPTIVE
PROCEDURAL TACTICS, INSISTING, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT MAIN
TRENDS PAPER B E REVISED TO FULLY REFLECT EVERY ASPECT
OF THEIR POSITIONS, CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE II HAS
STRONGLY RESISTED THESE PRESSURES, WITH US AND SOVIET
SUPPORT. STAGE HAS AP PA RT EN TL Y BEEN REACHED WHERE

HELD ON LANDLOCKED TRANSIT TO SEA AND ON INNOCENT
PASSAGE, AND CONTINENTAL SHELF AND ISLANDS WILL BE
CONSIDERED NEXT WEEK, SPAIN AND SEVERAL ARAB STATES
STRONGLY PRESSED VIEW THAT INNOCENT PASSAGE APPLIED TO
STRAITS OVERLAPPED BY THE TERRITORIAL SEA.
IN GENERAL, WEEK WAS PRODUCTIVE IN NUMBER OF AREAS

BY FACT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SHOW TANGIBLE RESULTS

PUWER, THE METHOD OF NTERING INTO ARRANGEMENTS FOR
THE CONDUCT OF ACTIVITIES IN THE AREA, AND THE BASIC
PRINCIPLESE OF SUCH ARRANGEMENTS, AND THE SETTLEMENT
OF DISPUTES,
THE WORKING GROUP BEGAN ITS WORK BY FOCUSING
ATTENTION ON THE DETAIED PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE
METHOD OF ENTERING INTO ARRANGEMENTS WITH ENTITIES
FOR THE CONDUCT OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION ACTI-
VITIES AND THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SUCH ARRANGEMENTS,
IN PARTICULAR, TOPICS SJCH AS THE CRITERIA FOR SELEC-
TION OF CONTRACTORS AND THEIR PARTICIPATION IN SUB-
SEQUENT STAGES OF OPERATION 6# AND THE NATURE OF THE
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS WERE DISCUSSED; FREQUENTLY
DELEGATES REFERRED TO OTHER RELATED TOPICS IN THE
COURSE OF THE DEBATE,
THESE DISCUSSIONS PRODUCU ENCOURAGING RESULTS,
DELEGATIONS AGREED THAT SOME METHOD OF SELECTION AMONG
EQUALLY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS FOR MINING RIGHTS IN
ORDER TO ENSURE MAXIMUM BENEFITS TO THE AUTHORITY WAS
NECESSARY ALTHOUGH THE EXACT NATURE OF THE CRITERIA
GOVERNING SELECTION REMAINED UNSETTLED, SOME SEMBLANCE
OF AGREEMENT EXISTED OVER THE PRACTICAL NEED FOR
PRIORITY BEING ACCORDED IN THE ENTITY THAT HAD BEEN
INVOLVED IN EARLIER STASES OF OPERATIONS FOR THE AWARD
OF A CONTRACT FOR A SUBSEQUENT STAGE OF OPERATIONS,
THE POSSIBILITY OF CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS COVERING MORE
THAN ONE STAGE WAS ACCEPTED BY ALL SIDES,
THE NEXT SUBJECT DISCUSSED WAS THE STAGES OF
OPERATION TO BE UNDER THE AUTHORITY'S CONTROL, DIS-
AGREEMENT REMAINED OVER WHETHER THE AUTHORITY COULD
CONTROL SUCH STAGES AS SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, MARKETING,
AND PROCESSING, ALTHOUGH, HAVING REGARD TO THE FACT
THAT AUTHORITYIS CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP MIGHT COVER
MORE THAN ONE STAGE OF OPERATION, THIS DISAGREEMENT WAS
REDUCED TO ONE THAT WAS RELATED MORE T O TECHNICAL
CONSIDERATIONS, THESE TECHNICAL ISSUES IN TURN RAISED

AS DIVERGENT POSITIONS HAD BECOME MANIFEST IN
CARACAS, MUTUAL AGREEMENTS TO DISCUSS ONE POSSIBLE
SYSTEM COULD BE REGARDED AS A SIGNIFICANT STEP TOWARDS
THE RESOLUTION OF WHAT -IAD SEEMED TO BE A DIFFICULT
ISSUE, TAKING NOTE OF THIS IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT, THE
CHAIRMAN CANCELLED THE MEETING OF THE WORKING GROUP
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ORDER TO PERMIT INFORMAL CONSULTA-
TIONS IN SMALLER GROUPS, THESE INFORMAL CONSULTATIONS
CONTINUED FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK AND WERE SUPPLEMENTED
BY MORE MEETINGS OF THE WORKING GROUP, IN THESE VARIOUS
FORUMS, DIFFERENT TYPES OF JOINT VENTURES WERE INVESTI-
GATED, THE DISCUSSIONS WERE FACILITATED BY INFORMAL
TECHNICAL PAPERS ON JOINT VENTURES WHICH WERE SUBMITTED
BY THE SECRETARIAT AS WELL AS BY SEVERAL DELEGATIONS,
AS A RESULT, THESE DISCUSSIONS IDENTIFIED PRIMARILY
TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF JOINT VENTURES VI21--CONTRACTUAL
JOINT VENTURES, WHERE AL THE DETAILS OF THE ARRANGE*
MENTS WOULD HAVE TO BE SPECIFIED IN A CONTRACT; AND
EQUITY JOINT VENTURES, WHERE A NEW LEGAL ENTITY WOULD
BE FORMED AND THE ELEMENT OF CONTROL WOULD BE ESTAB-
LISHED BY THE AUTHORITY THROUGH EQUITY PARTICIPATION
IN THE VENTURE, POINTS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN IN
EVALUATING THE ALTERNATIVE SYSTEMS INCLUDED THE
DEGREE OF FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL TO BE
EXERCISED BY THE AUTHORITY OVER ITS PARTNERS IN JOINT
VENTURES, DIRECT EXPLO ITAT ION OF THE AREA BY THE
AUTHORITY, THE NATURE OF THE AUTHORITY'S CONTRIBUTION.

TORS, AND THE LEGAL PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE APPLICABLE
LAW, FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENTITIES IN THE JOINT

IMPLICATIONS OF EACH POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENT AND ULTI-
MATELY CONCENTRATED ON A SYSTEM THAT WOULD SATISFY
THE BASIC INTERESTS OF ALL SIDES, THE DISCUSSIONS
HELD DURING THIS THIRD MEEK WERE SO CONSTRUCTIVE THAT
THEY LED TO THE FORMULATION OF A SINGLE TEXT ON THE
BASIC CONDITIONS OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION TO
SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS.
AFTER THREE DAYS OF INTENSIVE INFORMAL CONSULTA-
TIONS, THE CHAIRMAN PRESENTED AN ANONYMOUS PAPER TO
THE WORKING GROUP TO SERVE AS A SINGLE NEGOTIATING
TEXT, THE PAPER ELABORATES THE BASIC CONDITIONS FOR
A CONTRACTUAL JOINT VENTURE, THIS PAPER WAS NOT IN
ANY WAY A NEGOTIATED OR SO-CALLED "COMPROMISE" PAPER,
SINCE NO DELEGATIONS WERE COMMITTED TO ANY PART OF THE
TEXT, IT SERVED ONLY AS A BASIS FOR NEGOTIATION; IN
OTHER WORDS, THE ENTIRE. PAPER IS NEGOTIABLE.
CONCENTRATION IS THE FIRST INSTANCE, ON THIS ASPECT
OF THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT PREJUDICE SUBSEQUENT DIS-
CUSSION OF ANY OTHER SYSTEMS OF EXPLOITATION, NEVER-
THELESS, IT WAS FELT THAT SHOULD ALL SIDES FIND COMMON
AGREEMENT IN A CONTRACTUAL JOINT VENTURE SYSTEM,
NEGOTIATIONS OVER OTHER TYPES OF SYSTEMS WOULD MOVE
QUICKLY, AND OVERALL AGREEMENT UN THE BASIC CONDITIONS
OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION WOULD BE WITHIN SIGHT,
IN THIS SPIRIT, THE WORKING GROUP COMMENCED ITS CON-
SIDERATION OF THIS SINGLE TEXT ON MONDAY, APRIL 14.
THE WORKING GROUP HOPES TO LOMPLETE THIS PROCEDURE AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE AS NEGOTIATIONS HAVE STILL TO TAKE
PLACE UN THE CLOSELY CONNECTED QUESTION OF THE STRUC-
TURE AND FUNCTIONS OF INTERNATIONAL MACHINERY TO BE
ESTABLISHED FOR THE EXPLOITATION OF THE SEA-BED RE-
SOURCES,
IN CONCLUSION, IT IS HOPED THAT THE FIRST COM-
MITTEE WILL MAKE SUFFICIENT HEADWAY IN ITS WORK ON THE
BASIC CONDITIONS OF EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION AND
THE MACHINERY FOR THE INTENNATIONAL SEA-BED AS TO BE
A.8LE TO HAVE A SINGLE NEGOTIATING TEXT GOVERNING ITS
ENTIRE MANDATE READY AT THk END OF THE PRESENT SESSION,

MANDATE COVERS ALMOST THE tNTIkETY OF THE EXISTING
INTERNATIONAL LAW OF THE SEA, IS THE PIVOT AND CENTRE
OF THIS CONFERENCE,
IN A GENERAL WAY, AND IN A REAL SENSE, IT MAY
BE SAID THAT NO MAJOR ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED WITHIN
THE SECOND COMMITTEE SO FAR, AS DECIDED IN CARACAS,
THE COMMITTEE DID NOT HEAR uENERAL STATEMENTS. THE
COMMITTEE UNDERTOOK A SECOND READING OF THE MAIN TRENDS
UOCUMENTi ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED ONCE MORE AND WELL-
KNOWN POSITIONS RESTATED, DELEGATIONS FREELY COMMENTED
ON THE SPECIFIC FORMULATIONS OF WPI1 AND EXPRESSED
THEIR PREFERENCE FOR ONE OH MORE OF THESE FORMULATIONS,
QUESTIONS OF REAL SUBSTANCE SUCH AS THOSE CONCERNING
THE PROBLEMS OF LAND-LOCKED COUNTRIES AND STRAITS
STATES LIE AT THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM IN THIS COM-
MITTEE, ALTHOUGH IT HAS TOUCHED ON EVERY ISSUE WHILE
GOING THROUGH THE SECOND READING OF W,P, 1 DURING ITS
INFORMAL MEETINGS, IT HAS NOT ADDRESSED ITSELF SPECI-
FICALLY TO ANY OF THOSE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH ARE CONSID-
ERED TO BE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A PACKAGE DEAL,
THESE ISSUES WERE LEFT TU SMALL INFORMAL WORKING
GROUPS CONSTITUTED MAINLY eY SPECIAL INTERESTS, THEY
EXAMINED SUCH ITEMS AS THE TERRITORIAL SEA, BASELINES,
CONTIGUOUS ZONE, TRANSIT AND HIGH SEAS, THE MAJOR
PURPOSE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THESE SMALL INFORMAL
WORKING GROUPS WAS TO ALLOW DELEGATIONS WITH SPECIAL
INTERESTS IN A PARTICULAR SUBJECT TO TRY TO REDUCE
THE ALTERNATIVES AND, IF POSSIBLE, TO PRODUCE A SINGLE
TEXT, THESE GROUPS ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF CARRY-
ING OUT INFORMAL CONSULTATIONS AND, EXCEPT IN A FEW
CASES, THEIR WORK CANNOT BE ASSESSED AT THIS STAGE.
THE INFORMAL GROUP ON BASELINES WAS AELE TO PRODUCE
A REVISED CONSOLIDATED TEXT (C.2/BLUE PAPER NO, 4),
THE INFORMAL WORKING GROUP UN HIGH SEAS IS PREPARING
A TEXT WHICH SEEMS TO COMMAND WIDE SUPPORT AMONG THE
MEMBERS OF THAT GROUP, THE SUBJECT MATTER BEFORE THESE
TWO GROUPS IS OF A LESS CONTROVERSIAL NATURE AND MOST
OF THE FORMULATIONS ARE DRAWN FROM THE 1958 GENEVA

BETWEEN THE CONTIGUOUS ZONE AND THE ECONOMIC ZONE AND
THE QUESTION OF THE PLJRALiTY OF' REGIMES,
THE INFORMAL WORKING GROUP ON THE QUESTION OF
TRANSIT HELD ONLY ONE MEETING, THE CHAIRMAN OF THE
SECOND COMMITTEE, HAVING IN MIND THE COMPLEXITY OF
THIS MATTER AND CONSIDERING THAT ITS RESOLUTION WOULD
FACILITATE THE TASK OF THE CONFERENCE, DECIDED FIRST
TO HOLD A PRELIMINARY MEETING WITH A SMALL GROUP OF
DELEGATIONS FROM BOTH SIDES TO DETERMINE THE POSSI-
BILITY OF INITIATING A PROCESS OF NEGOTIATION BETWEEN
THEM AND ESTABLISHING A WORKING GROUP ON THE SUBJECT,
THE MEETING DEFINITLY REVEALED THE WILLINGNESS OF
DELEGATIONS TO ENGAGE IN SUCH NEGOTIATIONS AND THERE-
AFTER THE CHAIRMAN ESTABLISHED A GROUP ON THE SUBJECT,
OTHER GROUPS ALREADY IN cXISTENCE BUT WHICH HAVE
NOT MET SO FAR INCLUDE THE INFORMAL WORKING GROUPS

QUESTION OF STANDARDS, FOR THIS PURPOSE THE GROUP
FOLLOWS THE METHOD OF WORK APPROVED IN CARACAS
(SEE DOCUMENT A/CONF,62/C,3/L,14) WHICH IS BASED ON
VARIOUS SOURCES OF MARINE POLLUTION,
THE FIRST QUESTION UNDER THIS METHOD OF WORK,
MARINE POLLUTION FROM LANDbASED SOURCES, HAS BEEN
ALREADY DISCUSSED AND A TEXT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY
THE INFORMAL SESSION ON THE BASIS OF A DRAFT PRESENTED
BY THE CHAIRMAN (SEE DOCUMENT CHP/MP/17/ADD,2),
A PROPOSAL DEALING WITH THE PREPARATION OF
USSESSMENTS OF THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON THE MARINE
ENVIRONMENT OF PLANNED ACTIVITIES, CONTAINED IN
DOCUMENT CRP/MP/16, WAS APPROVED BY THE INFORMAL
SESSION AT ITS LAST MEETING, THE SUBJECT BEING
DISCUSSED BY THE GROUP IS "MARINE POLLUTION FROM
ACTIVITIES CONCERNING EXPLORATION AND EXPLOITATION OF
THE SEABED WITHIN THE AREAS OF NATIONAL JURISDICTION,"
THE QUESTION OF "OBLIGATION TO PUT AN END TO
VIOLATIONS AND TO THE EFFECTS THEREOF." WILL BE
TAKEN UP IN CONNECTION WITH THE QUESTION OF RESPONSI-
BILITY AND LIABILITY AND THt SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES,
INFORMAL SESSIONS ON ITEMS 13 AND 143 (SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH AND TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY),
DURING THE PERIOD 17 MARCH TO 12 APRIL THERE

NEGOTIATING GROUPS COMPOSED OF THE MOST INTERESTED
DELEGATIONS UNDER THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF MR, METTERNICH,
HELD 11 MEETINGS ON THE SAME SUBJECTS,
THE INFORMAL MEETINGS DtCIUED TO START THE DIS-
CUSSION OF THE ITEMS WHICH HAD BEEN LEFT OVER FROM
CARACAS AND, THEREFORE, DEALT FIRST WITH "STATUS OF
SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT IN THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT,"
THE DEBATE WAS QUITE EXHAUSTIVE. AND TOOK PLACE
BOTH IN INFORMAL PLENARY MEETINGS AS WELL AS IN
DRAFTING AND NEGOTIATING GROUPS,
VARIOUS DELEGATIONS SUBMITTED NEW TEXTS, WHICH
WERE REPRODUCED IN DQCJHENT CRP/1, TWO FURTHER

INTENSIVE NEGOTIATIONS AND WERE REPRODUCED IN CRP/2,
IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE, HOWEVLR, TO REACH AGREEMENT ON ANY
SINGLE COMPROMISE TEXT, ALTHOUGH THREE SUBSEQUENT
ATTEMPTS WERE MADE BY THE CHAIRMAN To CONSOLIDATE IN
ONE TEXT THE VARIOUS VIEWS LXPRESSED IN THE COURSE OF
THE NEGOTIATIONS,
FINALLY IT WAS DECIDED TO "FREEZE11 FOR THE TIME
BEING THE TWO ALTERNATIVE TEXTS CONTAINED IN CRP/2.
THE INFORMAL MEETINGS THEN WENT ON To DISCUSS THE
ITEM "RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY," THIS
DISCUSSION IS CONTINUING, VARIOUS DELEGATIONS
PRESENTED NEW TEXTS, WHICH ARE CONTAINED IN DOCUMENTS
CRP/3,4,5,6, AND 7, AN ATTEMPT TO DRAFT A SINGLE
COMPROMISE TEXT WAS MADE AT THE LEVEL OF THE DRAFTING
AND NEGOTIATING GROUP,
A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT WAS REACHED ON A TEXT OF A
GENERAL NATURE AND WAS REPHODUCED IN CRP/8.
SOME DELEGATIONS, HOWEVER, STILL SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT
THIS COMPROMISE TEXT IS NOT SUFFICIENT AND SHOULD BE
SUPPLEMENTED,
WHEN THE DISCUSSION ON "RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY"
IS COMPLETED, THE INFORMAL MEETINGS WILL, PRESUMABLY,
DECIDE TO DEAL WITH THE SUBJECT OF "CONDUCT OF MARINE
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH," WHICH CONSTITUTES THE CRUCIAL
ISSUE WITHIN THE GROJP+S COMPETENCE, TWO MEETINGS OF
THE MOST INTERESTED DELEGATIONS HAVE SO FAR TAKEN PLACE
ON THIS SUBJECT, IT WAS SUGGESTED TO TAKE AS A FRAME-
WORK FOR DISCUSSION THE NEW TEXT (L,26) SUBMITTED BY
A GROUP OF SOCIALIST COUNTRIES AS THE TEXT APPEARED TO
BE QUITE COMPREHENSIVE, ON THE CHAIRMAN'S SUGGESTION,
DELEGATIONS HAVE ALREADY BttN DISCUSSING THE QUESTION
AMONG THEMSELVES,
THE SUBJECT OF "TRANSFER AND DEVELOPMENT OF
TECHNOLOGY, HAS NOT YET BEEN DEALT WITH, ALTHOUGH
SOME DELEGATIONS EXPRESSED AT THE OUTSET THE VIEW THAT
THIS SUBJECT SHOULD 9E DISCUSSED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,
AN APPEAL WAS MADE TO ALL DELEGATIONS TO SUBMIT DRAFT
PROPOSALS ON THIS MATTERS HOWEVER, SO FAR NO NEW
TEXT HAS BEEN SUBMIITTED, AND THE ONLY TEXT AS CARRIED

DI SCUSSEO BY ITS OWN SPONSORS WITH A VIEW TO MAKING A
REVISION,
THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE RELEVANT IN REGARD TO
THE ORGANIZATION OF WORK ANU THE PROGRESS ACHIEVED IN
THE THIRD COMMITTEE,
THE PATTERN'OF MEETINGS ESTABLISHED IN CARACAS
HAS PROVED TO BE ADEQUATE FUR THE NEGOTIATING PROCESS,
THE MOST FRUITFUL NEGOTIATIONS ARE TAKING PLACE ON
THE INITIATIVE OF THE CHAIRMAN WHO BRINGS TOGETHER
DELEGATIONS OF THE VARIOUS INTEREST GROUPS AND TRIES
TO PRESENT AMALGAMATED COMPHOMISE TEXTS TO THEM, ON
THE OTHER HAND, THERE SEEMS TO BE TOO LITTLE READINESS
ON THE PART OF THE DIFFERENT INTEREST GROUPS TO NE-
GOTIATE WITH ONE ANOTHER, WHILE PROBABLY A DISPROPOR-
TIONATE AMOUNT OF TIME IS BEING SPENT BY SOME GROUPS
IN DISCUSSING AND DEFINING THEIR OWN POSITION,
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE DECISION TO LEAVE THE
AFTERNOONS FREE FROM GENERAL MEETINGS (BOTH FORMAL OR
INFORMAL) HAS NOT PROVED AS SATISFACTORY UN ARRANGEMENT
AS WAS EXPECTED, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE TIME HAS BEEN
UTILIZED MAINLY BY REaIONAL GROUPS. WHOSE DISCUSSIONS
SOMETIMES TEND TO HARDEN THe; ORIGINAL POSITIONS.
RATHER THAN STIMULATING NEGUTIATION WITH OTHER GROUPS,
THE BUREAU OF THE THIRD COMMITTEE MET ON WEDNESDAY,
16 APRIL. AND DECIDED THAT FOR THE TIME BEING THE
WORKING ARRANGEMENTS OF THE COMMITTEE SHOULD BE KEPT
INTACT, THE BUREAU FELT THAT THE PROGRESS THE
COMMITTEE HAS ACHIEVED TO DATE. ALTHOUGH SLOW, HAS
BEEN COMPARATIVELY SATISFACTORY, THE CHAIRMEN WILL
KEEP IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH DELEGATIONS WHEN CONSIDERING
ANY FUTURE CHANGES, THIS UONCLUDES MY EVALUATION OF
THE PROGRESS ACHIEVED SO FAR, END UUOTE.DALE

ENCE IN GENEVA IS THERE EVIDENCE THAT ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSIDERATIONS ARE RECEIVING THE ATTENTION AND PRIORITY
THEY DESERVE, I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED - INDEED ALARMED-
THAT WE ARE THUS IN DANGER OF ALLOWING SHORT-TERMS AND
PERHAPS ILLUSORY ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS TO OVER-RIDE
THE LARGER AND LONGER TERM INTERESTS OF THE ENTIRE
HUMAN COMMUNITY IN ASSURING THAT DEVELOPMENT OF OCEAN
RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE SEA BED, IS NOT ACCOMPANIED
BY DEGRADATION OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT, ITS LIFE-
SUPPORTING SYSTEMS AND IS LIVING RESOURCES, IN OUR OWN
INTERESTS AND THOSE OF FUTURE GENERATIONS, SURELY THIS IS
AN OPPORTUNITY UA AND A RESPONSIBILITY- WE SIMPLY CANNOT
AFFORD TO SET ASIDE, A4'CORDINGLY, I WOULD URGE THE
GOVERNING COUNCIL AT THIS SESSION TO REGISTER ITS DEEP
CONCERN WITH THIS MATTER AND BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION
OF THE LAW OF THE SEA CONFERENCE NOW MEETING IN GENEVA.
