analysis: This letter appears to be a formal communication from the Chairman of a United Nations Special Committee to the President of the General Assembly. The content discusses a resolution adopted by the Special Committee regarding the implementation of a Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples. The focus is on the renaming of an agenda item related to foreign economic and other interests that impede the implementation of this Declaration in southern Africa. The letter does not mention specific projects, programs, or initiatives, but rather a procedural change in the agenda item.
