text: Administrative and financial implications of draft resolution A submitted by the Committee on Conferences in document A/38/32 under agenda item 114 (Pattern of conferences) (A/38/7/Add.lOJ A/C.S/38/31) 45. Mr. MSELLE (Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions), introducing the eleventh report of the Advisory Committee, concerning the statement in document A/C.5/38/31, said that the Advisory Committee had recommended acceptance of the Secretary-General's estimates of the additional resources required for ECLA and ECA, but had felt that the additional requirements indicated for ESCAP should be slightly reduced for the reasons given in paragraphs 6 and 7 of its report. ; ... A/C.5/38/SR.46 English Page 9 46. Mr. MICHALSKI (United States of America) said that his delegation took strong exception to the implications for the programme budget of the Economic and Social Council's decision to approve the proposed changes of venue for the regular sessions of ECA, ESCAP and ECLA. The way in which those implications had been submitted to the Fifth Committee was equally regrettable. The matter should have been referred to the Second Committee before the Fifth Committee considered its administrative and budgetary aspects. 47. While General Assembly resolution 31/140, in section I, paragraph 4 (f), stated that regular sessions of the regional commissions could be held away from their respective headquarters, his delegation did not understand the argument that had been put forward by some delegations that the provisions of paragraph 5 were not applicable to the case in point. The exceptions provided for in paragraphs 4 (a) to (e) were quite specific& the organs authorized to meet away from their headquarters had to meet at other United Nations headquarters cities, which was not so in the case of the exception provided for in paragraph 4 (f). 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing the administrative and financial implications of a draft resolution related to the United Nations' regional commissions (ECLA, ECA, and ESCAP). The conversation revolves around the proposed changes in venue for the regular sessions of these commissions and the potential impact on the program budget. This suggests that the topic is related to international organizations and governance, rather than a specific sector like economics, education, or health.
