Mr. ELBE (Federal Republic of Germany): Sir, I should like to avail myself of this opportunity to extend to you my delegation's congratulations on your election as Chairman of the First Committee. We feel sure that, under your able guidance, based on broad experience and proved diplomatic skill, this Committee will make considerable headway in dealing with the important tasks entrusted to it.
