     The Assembly further approved the General Committee's
     recommendation that delegations be reminded of the utmost
     importance of punctuality.

     Concerning the rules for the general debate, the Assembly decided
     that the practice of expressing congratulations in the General
     Assembly Hall after a speech had been delivered would be
     prohibited.

     And it took note of the provisions in the General Committee
     report regarding explanations of vote, right of reply and length
     of statements.

     The Assembly approved the recommendations contained in paragraph
     14 of the General Committee's report concerning records of
     meetings.

     It went on to take note of provisions in the General Committee's
     report of questions relating to programme budget questions, in
     particular with regard to regulations governing Programme
     Planning, the Programme Aspects of the Budget, the Monitoring of
     Implementation and the Methods of Evaluation (annex to General
     Assembly resolution 37/234).

     The Assembly then took note of provision relating to special
     conferences and recommendation 6 of the Committee on
     Conferences, adopted by the Assembly in paragraph (b) of its
     decision 34/405 and to recommendations 2 (d) and 4 of the Group
     of High-level Intergovernmental Experts.

     The Assembly decided that the following subsidiary organs of the
     Assembly should be authorized to hold meetings during the
     forty-fourth session:  Advisory Committee on the United Nations
     Educational and Training Programme for Southern Africa;
     Committee of Trustees of the United Nations Trust Fund for South
     Africa; Committee on Relations with the Host Country; Committee
     on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian
     People; Intergovernmental Group to Monitor the Supply and
     Shipping of Oil and Petroleum Products to South Africa; Special
     Committee against Apartheid; United Nations Council for Namibia;
     Working Group on the Financing of the United Nations Relief and
     Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East


     The Assembly then took up section III of the report of the
     General Committee, relating to the adoption of the agenda.

     The Assembly first decided that item 74 of the draft agenda for
     the session, (Liability for illegal transfer and/or use of
     prohibited weapons and weapons of substances which cause
     unnecessary human suffering), should not be included in the
     agenda.

     Next, the Assembly decided that item 122 of the draft agenda,
     (Question of East Timor), should be deferred to the forty-fifth
     session and the item included in that session's provisional
     agenda.

     The Assembly then decided that item 153 of the draft agenda,
     entitled "Environmental protection of extraterritorial spaces
     for present and future generations", be included on the agenda
     as a sub-item of item 83 of the agenda (Development and
     international economic co-operation).
