text: 7. While recognizing that an increase in the percentage of the health insurance subsidy provided by the United Nations was justified, his delegation felt that it was impossible at the current stage to take a firm decision on the proposals of ICSC, the Secretary-General and the Advisory Committee. It therefore proposed that the Committee should adopt a draft resolution in which ICSC would be requested to submit a report expeditiously on the questions it had raised.
