text: To summarize~ in the document before the Committee I am making the following main proposals: first, that the general debate on the disarmament items be divided into phases~ and that the items themselves be subjected to a rough grouping to be considered by the Committee during separate phases of its work; secondly, that the deadline for the submission and introduction of draft resolutions on disarmament items be moved up; and, thirdlYs that before the Committee proceeds to take action upon draft resolutions on disarmament items time be made available for in-depth consideration of texts and informal consultations on them. At least in some cases this could conceivably facilitate the merger of texts dealing with the same subject matter. Having made these general observations~ I should like to proceed to a more detailed presentation of my tentative programme of work and timetable. Adding up the number of meetings proposed for the various stages of our work, members will find that I have been working on the assumption that the Committee should be able to complete its work in a total of 65 meetings. I have arrived at this number on the basis of past experience in the Committee. The statistics show~ for instance~ that last year a total of 80 meetings had been allocated to the Committee. Out of that total 59 meetings were actually utilized. The corresponding figures for the preceding year are 68 and 51, respectively. Against that background it seems likely to me that the Committee will be able to conclude its work in the 65 meetings I have suggested. However, if this turns out not to be the case there is the possibility of adding meetingss since the Committee will have at its disposal a total of 80 meetings. JVH/7 A/C.l/38/PV.2 26 (The Chairman) 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing the organization and management of a committee, specifically regarding disarmament items. It does not mention any specific economic, environmental, or social issues, but rather focuses on the procedural aspects of the committee's work. Therefore, it is likely that the text is related to international relations or diplomacy.
