     Next, the Assembly approved the allocation of the eight items to
     the Fourth Committee (Decolonization) proposed in paragraph 33
     of the report of the General Committee.

     Item 38, dealing with a review of the efficiency of the
     administrative and financial functioning of the United Nations,
     was allocated to the Fifth Committee (Administrative and
     Budgetary), on the understanding that the report on the United
     Nations intergovernmental structure and functions in the
     economic and social fields would be considered directly in
     plenary meeting and that such a decision should in no way
     prejudge the arrangements to be made for the future
     consideration of the item.

     Next, the Assembly decided that item 27, concerning the Joint
     Inspection Unit (JIU), should be allocated to the Fifth
     Committee, on the understanding that the reports of the Unit
     dealing with subject matters assigned to the other Main
     Committees would be referred also to those Committees.

     The Assembly then approved the allocation of the 21 items
     proposed for the Fifth Committee in paragraph 33 of the report
     of the General Committee.

     The Assembly decided to allocate to the Sixth Committee (Legal)
     item 152, entitled:  "International criminal responsibility of
     individuals and entities engaged in illicit trafficking in
     narcotic drugs across national frontiers and other transnational
     criminal activities:  establishment of an international criminal
     jourt with jurisdiction over such crimes".

     It then approved the allocation of the 11 items proposed for the
     Sixth Committee in paragraph 33 of the report of the General
     Committee.

     The Assembly next took up the second report of the General
     Committee (document A/44/250/Add.1), which concerns the request
     by Egypt and Guinea-Bissau for the inclusion of an additional
     item entitled "African Alternative Framework to Structural
     Adjustment Programmes for Socio-Economic Recovery and
     Transformation", which appears in document A/44/242.  The
     Assembly decided to include the item in the agenda and that it
     should be considered directly in plenary meeting.

     The PRESIDENT said that, with the approval of the additional
     item, the Assembly had approved the allocation of 50 items for
     consideration directly in plenary meeting.

     The PRESIDENT adjourned the meeting at 11:34 a.m.
