UN ASSEMBLY PLENARY -- TAKE 2

     Posting Date: 09/24/89      Source: UNITEX Network, Hoboken, NJ, USA

     The President of the General Assembly, JOSEPH N. GARBA (Nigeria),
     called the meeting to order at 10:17 a.m.

     The PRESIDENT informed the Assembly with deep regret of the death
     of Giovanni Migliuolo, the Permanent Representative of Italy to
     the United Nations.

     The Assembly then stood for one minute in silent tribute to the
     memory of Mr. Migliuolo.

     Sorrow at the death of Mr. Migliuolo was expressed by the
     Secretary-General JAVIER PEREZ DE CUELLAR; by ALFREDO LOPES
     CABRAL (Guinea-Bissau), on behalf of the African States; KARIM
     EBRAHIM AL-SHAKAR (Bahrain), on behalf of the Asian Group;
     ALEXANDER STRESOV (Bulgaria), on behalf of the Eastern European
     States; ALFRDO CA ETE (Paraguay), on behalf of the Latin
     American and Caribbean Group; JEAN FEYDER (Luxembourg), on behalf
     of the Western European and Other States; HAMAD ABDELAZIZ
     AL-KAWARI (Qatar), on behalf of the Arab States; and by THOMAS
     R. PICKERING (United States), in his capacity as representative
     of the host country.  All paid tribute to the late Ambassador
     Migliuolo, who died on 21 September, and expressed their
     condolences to his country and family.

     MARIO SCIALOJA (Italy) thanked the Members and the
     Secretary-General for their expression of condolences.  He said
     the loss was also a very personal one as he had been one of his
     closest friends.

     The Assembly took up the first and second reports of the General
     Committee (document A/44/250 and Corr.1 and Add.1).

     The Assembly first took note of the provisions reproduced in
     annexes V, VI, and VII of its rules of procedure, continued in
     paragraph 2.

     Turning to section II of the report, which deals with the
     organization of the session, the Assembly decided that, as at
     recent sessions, the holding of concurrent meetings of the
     Special Political and Fourth Committees during this session
     should be avoided, to the extent possible, and with the necessary
     flexibility.

     The Assembly next decided that in the light of the practice at
     recent sessions, no closing date for the Assembly session should
     be decided upon at this time, and that every effort be made to
     curtail, to the maximum extent practicable, the duration of the
     session.

     The Assembly also decided that meetings should start at 10 a.m.
     promptly for all plenary meetings and meetings of the Main
     Committees and that the requirement of the presence of at least
     one third of the members to declare a plenary meeting open and
     at least one quarter of the members to declare a meeting of a
     Main Committee open be waived and permit the debate to proceed.
