After further discussion, the Committee agreed to include in their draft resolution the following formulation: "The General Assembly "Requests the Secretary-General to ensure the most rational and effective use of all United Nations conference centres and facilities; "Requests the Committee on Conferences to continue its periodic examination of the rules governing conference planning." 48. Later, one delegation expressed reservations about the continued validity of paragraph 4 (a) of resolution 31/140, section I, which allowed the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme to meet at the United Nations Office at Geneva, although it was based in New York. The delegation also objected to paragraph 4 (f) of that resolution, which allowed regional commissions to meet outside their headquarters, pointing out that meetings facilities at the headquarters of a number of regional commissions had recently been modernized. 49. The Committee decided to recommend to the General Assembly the draft resolution contained in section I of the present report. III. CONTROL AND LIMITATION OF DOCUMENTATION Feasibility of instituting an abbreviated form of summary record 50. During its 1984 session, the Committee on Conferences examined abbreviated summary records, two to three pages in length, prepared on an experimental basis by the Secretariat and ccmpared them with the original summary records on which they were based. While the abbreviated records were acceptable to some delegations, others believed that the reduced content of the abbreviated versions would not adequately reflect the proceedings. The Committee agreed that the Chairman should write to the relevant United Nations organs describing the Committee's work on that matter and requesting their views on which form of record, the summary or the experimental abbreviated summary, was more appropriate for their own purposes.
analysis: The text appears to be discussing administrative and organizational matters within the United Nations, specifically related to the use of conference centers and facilities, documentation, and the functioning of various committees and organs. The topics mentioned do not seem to be directly related to economic development, natural resources, or any other specific field of activity. Instead, it appears to be focused on the internal workings and management of the UN.
