21, 196l, to incur commitments for the United Nations operations in the Congo at a

level not to exceed $8 million per month," pending final action by the Assembly at

its resumed fifteenth session and "without prejudice to such action" (A/RSS/1595(XV))»

26 May 1961

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT JOSEPH KASA-VUBU

(Translation from French)

Fellow countrymen,

I want you to give me your attention today while I talk about the economic

and financial situation of the Republic, and its future. You have known for some

time that the public finances are in a bad state. You also know that the country's

.economic activity has fallen below what it was before 50 June; but you may know

rather less about what should be done to improve the present situation.

In spite of the "virulence" of the political crisis, I and the Government have

been anxiously seeking a suitable way out of the economic and financial crisis -

a crisis which has deprived many of our fellow countrymen of their living, a crisis.,

the gravity of which has been underlined by both national and international experts.

My friends, I am happy to tell you that the first step has been made towards

?a solution of our financial and economic difficulties. About a month ago, in

Jview of the progressive deterioration in the public finances and the gradual

''throttling of the Congolese economy, I asked Mr. Ndele, the Governor of the

National Bank, to undertake a mission to the United Nations to seek, in co-

operation with the United Nations experts, an urgently needed solution. A few

days ago, I and the Prime Minister were informed that these discussions had led to

agreement on certain immediate steps.

Realizing the urgent need for a programme of financial rehabilitation and

economic revival, I asked the Secretary-General of the United Nations to send us

a small team of experts to determine - in consultation with the Government - how

• the proposed assistance should be supplied. This mission will arrive in

3Leopoldville in a few days' time and I shall shortly appoint a small ministerial•s '>: committee for this purpose.U

The assistance we are being given must be used to reduce the deficit in the

budget and also to combat unemployment. The part of that assistance which is being.•' ipaid in foreign currency will enable us to pay for the essential imports which our

economy so badly needs.

With this substantial assistance, which was decided on in principle thanks toi;: (more)

I • • ' * ' . .v|o Governor Ndele's negotiations at the United Hations, we should be able to''•ft • •reorganize our finances and revive our economy. However^ we mist realise that it

is first and foremost for the Congolese to make the efforts and sacrifices that

are required to develop our enormous, rich and beautiful country. That is why, in

the next few days, the Government will draw up a programme for the reorganization

of the public finances and a series of measure^ to initiate and encourage an

economic revival, the result of which, I am sure, will be the happiness and

prosperity of all the citizens of the Congo.

STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

RELATING TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE CONGO

On instructions of the Secretary-General,, experts of the United Nations have

examined the financial position of the Republic of the Congo (Leopoldville ) with

Albert Ndele, the Governor of the National Bank of the Congo. As a result of this

review of the situation, it was recognized that immediate outside support was

required.

In order to determine the scope of the support immediately needed, the

Congolese authorities have been requested to produce an estimate of budgetary

requirements for the 90 days following 1 June and of essential imports required.

Experts of the International Monetary Fund will proceed to Leopoldville to aid

the Congolese authorities in the establishment of the list of imports.

A mission will be designated to proceed within a few days to the Congo for

the purpose of determining the scope and character of the aid which the United

Nations will have to supply.

This mission has been invited by the President of the Republic of the Congo

in order to assist in laying down the guidelines for a fiscal policy and an

import program which will ensure that the Congolese authorities will obtain

maximum benefit from the utilization of these funds.

In the meantime, if there are clearly demonstrated needs, the Monetary

Council of the Congo can obtain an advance of necessary funds.

A STATEMENT BY AMBASSADOR PAYftL

I earns in August 19&0 at the request of Mr. Hammarskjold to assist him for some

time in the discharge of the onerous responsibilities entrusted to him by the

Security Council in the Congo. During these nine months I have tried to serve the

United Nations and the Congolese people to the best of my ability and la a spirit

of impartiality and objectivity.

The United Nations mission in the Congo is unique in the history of inter-

national organization. The United Nations went to the help of the young Republic

of the Congo at its request, to give life and substance to its freedom and to

strengthen its sovereignty and independence. Despite enormous difficulties, a

substantial degree of progress has been achieved in that task.

At a time when political crises are erupting in different parts of the world,

the danger of the internationalization of any conflict in the Congo has been

avoided, thanks to the presence and activities of the United Nations. The exclusion

of all forms of foreign interference is also an essential factor in the stabilization

of the internal situation. The United Nations' action In the Congo has prevented

the outbreak of civil war degenerating into tribal strife threatening the very

existence of the Republic. The early reorganization of the national security forces

would contribute greatly to the development of a sense of security in the country '

and facilitate the processes of political conciliation. The United Nations has

consistently maintained that the settlement of political differences can be brought

about only by peaceful means and not by resort to force . It is therefore hoped

that a fully representative meeting of the Congolese Parliament, which the United

Nations Operation has tried indefatigably to promote will soon meet with the

assistance of the United Nations.

The extensive training program which has been launched to enable the Congolese

people to shoulder their heavy responsibilities is making progress. At the same

time, the devoted labors ©f the United Nations civilian personnel are helping to

keep the essential services in the country functioning while the United Nations

troops, in conditions ©f great danger and difficulty, are succeeding in maintaining

some measure of law and order. Famine has been averted and epidemics held in

check, while the economy has been-.protected-from -collapse. In the context of the

situation which faced the country at'it's birth, these achievements, while helping

to stabilize the situation in the country, hold out perspectives for future growth.

The United Nations has .established a sound organizational machinery which

has been able to withstand, through these difficult months, the strains and

stresses of recurring crises and pressures from different directions. The stage

has now been reached where many of the initial problems have been surmounted and

adequate "means have been provided ;for furthering the objectives of the United

Mations. "If the Operation receives'the'cooperation of the entire Congolese people

from all the six provinces, as well as the international political support to which

it is entitled, I am convinced that in the fullness of time it will enable the

Congo to take its place as a stable, self-reliant member of the internationalcommunity. ' ' • .: .

In the course of the development of the Operation, there has inevitably been

a reorientation of its functions, and a change in emphasis from the diplomatic to

the administrative. This has necessitated a diversification' of the organizational: - . • ' • • • •• ; • • 1 •. •. • . • . , .

arrangements in the fielcJ, the'responsibility for'the direction and coordination

of the Operation falling increasingly on United Nations Headquarters at New York.

resume my interrupted duties 'as India's Hi'gli Commissioner in Pakistan, and I have

the Secretary-General's permission to leave* In doing so, I have the satisfaction

of feeling that I have had the' high privilege of assisting,to the best of my

to the Secretary-General for his unfailing guidance and support. I am also • - ;

grateful to all the colleagues who have served with'me 'in the Congo, both civil

and military, as well as representatives of the specialised agencies, for their

loyal and selfless contribution to 'the humanitarian' and life-giving task of the

United Nations Operation in the Congo.

(For use of information media — not an official record)

Press Release SG/101925 May 1961

STATEMENT BY THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

Following consultations at Headquarters regarding the Congo operation and in

particular a reorganization of the administrative arrangements for this operation,

which has been in planning for some time, the Secretary-General announces that

Ambassador Dayal, at his own request, is now returning to his office as India's

High Commissioner to Pakistan.

Responding to an immediate request from the Secretary-General, the Prime

Minister of India kindly agreed, at very short notice, in August 1960 to release

Mr. Dayal for a limited period from his duties as High Commissioner of India to

Pakistan. Mr, Dayal accepted the assignment as Special Representative in the

Congo on the understanding that its duration would be determined in the light of

the extent of his ability to remain away from his regular post and of the need for

his service in the Congo..

In the course of the Secretary-General's visit to Leopoldville early in

January of this year, he asked Mr. Dayal to agree to continue as Special Representa-

tive until progress in the UN operation in the Congo would indicate the advisability

of other administrative arrangements.

In view of recent developments, Mr. Dayal, referring to his initial under-

taking of August 1960, and to his discussion with the Secretary-General last

January, has now asked to be relieved from UN service in order to return to his

duties in his Government's service. In the circumstances, the Secretary-General,

to his regret, has found it necessary to accede to the request of Mr. Dayal. In

so doing he takes the occasion to express his full gratitude to Mr« Dayal for his

services, both in the Congo and at Headquarters. Mr. Dayalrs work for the UN as

Special Representative has been marked by the highest ability and level of

performance, equalled by his loyalty to the purposes of the UN and his unfailing

integrity.

An announcement will be made later concerning the administrative arrangements

in the Congo to prevail henceforth. The emphasis in the tasks for the Special

Representative theore is now shifting from being principally in the diplomatic

(more)

field to the administrative field, the main need now being for coordination on the

UN side of its growing activities in the assistance field to the Congo. This

coordination has to be largely undertaken at UN Headquarters in New York, Pending

the intended"changes in the administrative arrangements, no new Special Representa-

tive will be appointed and activities in the Congo will be coordinated by the

senior UN official in Leopoldville, as officer in charge.

Final Text of Letter from Secretary-General to President Kasavubudated 22 May 1961 in Reply to his Three Letters of 13 May 1961

Mr0 Presidentj

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your three letters dated

13 May 1961 which were conveyed to me by"my Acting Soecial Representative

in the Congo0 In these letters you request (l) that the United Nations

should undertake to disarm Congolese troops under the command of foreign

military personnel or of mercenaries, and prevent the dispersal of such troops,

so as to avoid the creation of armed bands that would endanger security;

(2) that the United Nations disarm illegal armed groups with a view to

oreventing the danger of civil war or other disturbances} (3) that the

United Nations should clarify the distinction to be drawn between the Chief

of State's authority (pouvoir) in maintaining public order and securityaand activities that nay be considered as falling vdthin the realm of civil

war0You are of course aware that United Rations action in the Congo must

remain strictly within the limits of the Security Council and General

Assembly resolutions,, The position which the United Nations has taken through-

out its consideration of the Congo problem is stated in General Assembly

resolution 1600 (XV) which "calls upon the Congolese authorities concerned

to desist from attempting a military solution of their problems and to

resolve them by peaceful means"9 The resolution indicates that the solution

of the important problems which you raise should chiefly be sought by way of

political reconciliation a task to vfoich the United Nations operation in

the Congo is fundamentally dedicated,, It may be anticipated, moreoversthat once such an approach has come to fruition the problems raised by the

existence of what you call rebel units or dissident groups will largely fall

away of their own accordoIt is the obligation of ONUCj, under paragraph A-=l of the resolution of

21 February 196lj, to take immediately all appropriate measures to prevent the

occurrence of civil war in the CongOj, including arrangements for cease=

firesj, the halting of all military operations^ the prevention of clashes^

and the use of force^ if necessaryg in the last resort0 Therefore it is

= 2 —

obviously the task of the United Nations to ensure that controversies between

authorities in the various oarts of the Congo do not grovr into civil war0Any Military initiative being in contradiction to the stand taken by the United

Nations would have to be resisted by UN forces in the Congo„

Under paragraph A=29 the United Nations resDonsibilities relate to the

"Immediate withdrawal and evacuation from the Congo of all Belgian and other

foreign military and para-military personnel and political advisers not under

the United Nations command, and mercenaries„" United Nations action in this

regard is likewise covered by the agreement of general principles between the

President of the Republic of the Congo and the Secretary-General of the United

Nations dated 1? April 196ls under idiieh the United Nations is bound and has

agreed to render full assistance to the President of the Republic in imple-

menting paragraphs A=2 and B~2 xvhich of course are mandatory throughout the

territory of the Republic,,

Under oaragraph B-2, the United Nations has responsibilities with regard

to Congolese armed units arid personnel which "should be reorganized and brought

under discipline and control , and arrangements be made on impartial and equitable

bases to that end and with a view to the elimination of any possibility of inter-

ference by such units and personnel in the political life of the Congo0 "

I note in this connexion your letter of 5 March and your message of 3 May

196l0 The former^, in particular, soecifies your position that while "the

reorganization must embrace the entire country", and while "the Government is

oreoared to initiate the operation at once in the units under General Mobutu's

coiranand"s this, in your wordss "is subject to the condition that a satisfactory

agreement is reached on the matter with the military leaders at Stanleyville,

Bakwanga and Elisabethville"0 I can only endorse the clear acknowledgement

contained in your letter of 5 March that the United Nations Force cannot, for

purposes of reorganization9 be exoected to subdue organized aimed forces regarded

as dissident by any authorities in the Gongo0In conclusion^ I wish to express the hope that Parliament will be called

into session at an early date and that the problems of the Congo will thereby

be solved by democratic means and without any further recourse to actions which

are likely to lead to bloodshed0

DISCOURS IRONOHOB LE 12 MI, 1961

PAR LE PRESIDENT BE LA REPUBLIQT3E DU

COIGO (LEOPOLDVILLE) A COQUIHAT7ILLE

II y a quelques mois, usant de mes prerogativesoonstituionnelles, j'ai ete amene a suspendre 1'activite du Parlement.Cette grave decision m'a et<0ictee par le double souci de sauvegarder lalegalite et surtout le prestige de cette noble institution.Bn effet, cer-tains leaders dans le seul but d'assouvir leurs ambitions personnelles;etaient parvenus au moyen de la corruption et des pressions morales detoute sorte a faire devier le Parlement de sa veritable mission parailleurs la crise parlementaire qui est nanifestee quelques jours seule-ment apres notre accession a 1'independance ne doit pas etre attributeuniqaement a la faiblesse htonaine, mais aussi a I1inexperience de laplupart des representants: de la Nation. Depuis pres de 10 mois de confusion,de msere et de toute sorte de privations chacun de nous aura eu 1'occa-sion de se rendre corapte de la. necessite d'un ordre social stable base surdes principes de mpralite publique et de legalite,

b'

Uotre but, le but de notre politique a to^jours£te de defendre les institutions de notre jeune Etat contre la deraagogieet ltanarchie;a 1'heure actuelle nous^ pouvons done estimer que les con-ditions qui prevalaient au mois de juillet a 1960 ont ete profondementmodifiees par les circonstances Ses lors usant des pouvoirs qui me sontreconnus par la Loi Fondamentale, j'ai decide de convoquer le Parlementa Leopoldville innaediatement apres la cloture des travaux de la conferencede Coqahatville. Je charge a cet effet mon 15inistre de I'lnterieur de prendreles dispositions necessaires a 1'execution de cette decision. Le momentest tres grave et les decisions que le Parlement sera amene a prendre engage-ront 1'avenir de notre neune Etat. On ne saurait par consequentsotropsouligner la necessite a ce que tous les pa. r lenient a ires puissent repondre"a mon appel, Je dirai meme que chacun a le devoir en tamt qu'elu de lanation de pre*ter sa collaboration a I'oeuvre de reconstruction. Je demanderai1'assistance des Nations Unies pour faciliter le deplacement de tous lesparlementaires appeles a sieger et de leur assurer outre Us s privileges quileur sont reconnus par la Loi Fondamentale toutes les garantieff pour leursecurite personnelle ainsi que celle de leur faaBille* J'espere qu'avec 1stconvocation du Parlement, il ne s'agira-non seulement du retour S la lega-

Text of the letter addressed by the Secretary-General to President Kasavubu

12 May

I have the honour to refer to & mssssgs which I have received from

Mr* Tshotibe through n r representative at Cocquilhatville, in tjhieh Mr» Tshoaise

requests the protection of the United nations in view of his arrest and

detention. In the light of the facts available to ma, I deem it ugr responsi-

bility, on the basis of decisions taken by the general Assembly and the

Security Council, to bring the following considerations immediately to your

attention.

There are ttJO aspects of the situation t?hich are of direct concern to

the United Mations. The first relates to the necessity of assuring the obser°

vance in the Republic of the Congo of the basic hua&aa rights and fundamental

freedoms referred to in the Charter. This consideration has been deeussd of

significance by the Security Council and the General Assembly and therefore,

irrespective of any other aspect, I must emphasize as strongly as possible that

Mr. Tshessbe and his associates "be given humane treatment in accordance with

generally accepted principles of law, and be granted the facilities and

protective measures required by minimal legal procedure* These requirements

apply to the case of Mr. Tshombe and those interned with him as they did to

others previously detained by Congolese authorities elsewhere in the Congo.

There is, however, another aspect of the case which equally demands

your attention. In its resolution Ho. 1600 (XV) of 15 April 1961, the Gene 1

Assembly of the United Nations urged upon the Congolese authorities the

immediate release of all political leaders under detention, a request T-xich was

made on the basis of the desire of the United Nations that th©

authorities resolve their problems by peaceful iseans and by

reconciliationo While the Seeretary«6eneral is not in a positio* *o coiamenton the charges set forth ia ihfe aselsio'a id it&erne Mg»0 Tsho ?>, it cannot be

ignored that Mr. Tehombe is one of the political leadens sbc/ee participation

in the conciliation efforts was invited by the President. Of the Republic

and which provided the basis for his participation at tUa Conference in

Cocquilhatville. I should like to recall, in this cor>D3Xi$n, the eossaunieation,1961

sent by me to you on 20 January/ at the suggestion of hhe Advisory Comadtte®

on the Congo, in which it is stated that

o oj o o

"The Advisory Committee feels strongly that the incarceration ofvarious political leaders is incompatible with successful effortsto achieve the aims which you, yourself, Mr,, President, havestated as being yours. They are of the strong conviction thatnegotiations cannot be conducted among political leaders as long

• as some of them are detained and thus unable in freedom toexpress their views or to take part in deliberations."9

This general observation, which was made in connection with the situationresulting from the imprisonment and the transfer to Katanga of Mr. Lumumba,has application in the present situation involving measures eigainst incarceration

of Mr. Tshombe as well as those taken against other political leaders int

the Congo. The decision of the General Assembly referred to above has

reinforced the position taken by the Advisory Committee.

I wish, therefore, Mr. President, to urge upon you to give full weight

to these considerations.

I have the honour to be.

29 April

With the Security Council resolution of 21 February 1961 on the

Congo, confirmed lay General Assembly resolution l€@0 (w) of 15 April

1961, as also the two other .resolutions (1599 &£?) ant 1601 (30f))

adopted l>y the general Assembly on 15 %»ril l$6lf the United Stations

operation in the Congo has begun & new phase* 3Sie measures taken, or

sfoout to "be taken, for the implementation of these resolutions call for

certain organizational jte -arrangements * both for the conduct of the United

Stations operation in the Congo and for its direction at United Nations

ifead<|iiarters . 33iese arrangements, tfliieli are in process of evolution, mist

also tail© into account the needs of a changing and developing situation in

the 6ongb»

A-*l of the Security ffouncil _Bes_plution

Special efforts have "beea made by tfee Secretary-General to sscure

sufficient co-operation from Sfember Sovernments in rsgard to the forces

needed to implement the resolution. At the saws time, -tdie Force Goramander

has been extremely active in controlling the civil war situation, especially

in Worth febanga.

&~0 of .jtfae. Securit gouneil Be solution

Secretary-General has sent Ambassador SaKbani on a separate mission

to Brussels, and ha also sent the Bwo&edi -Gardiner Mission to the Congo.

IPolleftfing the Swokedi -Gardiner negotiations, a memorandum has been ini-

tialled -with the Congole se authorities, and to. Gardiner is now baek in

the Congo engaged in in Ieine&ting t&@ understanding sat out in the

memorandum.

.A* of the Sesuyity gounQll Beeolutlon

General Assembly, in its resolution l6©l (X?) of 15 April

has ratified the appointment of a Ctonaaission of Investigation., which is

soon to etart its worlc.

B-2 of .the .Security Cjounell JEtesolution

Shis ±s also covered by th© Hwofeedi -Gardiner negotiations and by the

initialled memorandum already referred to. In due ccsurse tnere will have

to be a Senior JSilitsry Mviser supported by the necessary officers working

cloeely with the Congolese authco-ities to help them -with the reorganisation

of 1S»- MS*

In the sJForesetid resolution 1600 (X?'} of 15 April 1961, th© General

&sembly- decided to appoint a Commission of Conciliation of seven members

to be deslgusted by the J eeident of th® General Assembly. Shis Ccanmission

will also Shortly come into being, with the responsibility to assist the

Congolese leaders to aehieve reconciliation and to end the political crisis.

She civilian operations in the Cong© will continue to be directed by

the JShief of United Nations fivilian Operations in the ©ojago.

@feviou02y the various activities to -which reference has been made

above will all retire constant contact with the Congolese authorities

which should preferably, in each ease, be direct and not through one single

channel*

Practical exj erience has shown that, apart €rom missions like the

Bahbani Mission outside the €fongo# the effective functioning of the missions

In the Congo Itself requires considerable diplomatic effort and support at

Headquarters. She Secretary*General is dlrectJy responsible for the

*••'

- 3 -

successful co-ordination of these many-sided efforts , so that they

fall Into place in a common pattern designed to serve the best interests

Of the 6oago, a© well as the speediest and most effective implementation

of the Security Council and Gener&l Assembly resolutions.

In view of these considerations, the Secretary-General has already

instituted a system of fionatilt&tion tod a kind of Executive Office in

Bhited Nations Headquarters whieh mey need to "be strengthened and

Inetitutionalised.

Slie practical implication oif this re*organiaatioa at the leopoldville

end is that th© heavy feurden whieh has fallen so far oa the Special

Representative i?ill be eased, especially in the political field. Sie

jaain function of the Office will, in fattxre, "be related to th© practical

co-ordination of the different aspects of the United lations activities

des Nations Unies a Matadi.

Gardant en m&aoire le fait que les Nations Itoies ont £td obligees de quitter

Matadi par la force, dans des eirconstances qui ont £t£ condainne'es d'une faqon

aussi universelle par I1opinion publique mondiale, le Secretaire general ne peut

saaaquer d'e priaaer sa surprise a I'dgard du contenu de votre lettre. Apres avoir

poursmivi de patientes n ociatioas avec les autorit s de Liopoldville pendant

im mie pSriode de pres de trois semalnea, il consid&re conme particulierement

tormant que, a la r@qu8te de ce qui n'est qii'ime compagnie priv e, des desaandes

de la nature de celles pr sent es dans votre lettre soient faites.

Ainsi qu'il apparaJt clairemeut de la lettre du Secretaire g a ral en date

du 26 Ejara adress e a Monsieur Kasavubu, il est essential que des mesures soient\

prises irame'diatement afin de permettre a la Force des nations Itoies d'exercer

indispensables aux Nations TJtties et qui au surplus sont sans influence sur

26 Iferch 1961

Please see Kasavubu personally on his return and transmit to him our reactionsas set out in memo with which this instruction ends. Text of memo should be left

with Kasavubu without formalising it as a note verbals or anything similar, but so as

to see to it that there is no misunderstanding regarding the main points in demarche.

In presenting our views on the basic memo you should emphasize in particular the

dangers involved for misunderstandings and frictions in situation where by word and

deed authorities give Congolese public impression that UN is in Congo in its own

interest and against the will of authorities, while, on other hand, the question ofcontinued presence has nofc, been brought by them to UN in a way which makes it possibleto discuss the issue here. This contradiction between official stand in relation toUN and the public stand in the country may seem to give authorities the advantage thatrelations can be played by them both ways : utilising our services while, on otherhand, keeping us under pressure of negative public reaction. However, the line seemsto be a most dangerous and fallacious one, as it will tend to discredit in first placethe authorities themselves, in second place UN, with easily foreseeable consequences

in other directions,,Therefore, it is essential that clear and clean basis be created by definite

stand of President in accordan.ee with whatever nay be their decision, a stand which

should be given full oublicity. As said in memo, we assume, in spite of all, that

the stand would be in favpur of continued cooperation. Otherwise matter would have

to be dealt with by Secco. Orally, you should make it clear that our civilian experts

are not likely to stay without continued presence of ONUC, and that thereforerealistically the question of military assistance cannot be raised without alsoquestion of civilian assistance coming up for debate.

You also see from memo that we feel that time is more than ripe for statusagreement, giving precision to mutual obligations and rights. We have had suchstatus agreement for four years with UAR, and it explains to large extent the smooth

development of UN?!1 operation. You may in this context drive home that under statusagreement with UAR we have always had military contingent in Port Said for exactlysame purpose as we have to have one in Matadi, and that, this has never given rise

to any problems of policy or principle or any frictions. I emphasize that status

agreement would neither add to nor derogate from rights established already through

the basic principles accepted 27 July, but would serve the puroose of eliminating

any misunderstanding and ambiguity. I also emphasize that this being so, no solution

of any concrete problem like that in Matadi can be held up pending agreement on status

text. On the contrary, I see no chance of progress on status agreement without both .Cj».ttft^ceJT

clear and -pnfeMts/rdeclaration of wish to see UN stay and a settlement of Matadi problem.Re so-called status agreement, the intention in present obscure constitutional

situation would be to have, text agreed upon and embodied in memo initialled byPresident, or on his behalf. We would consider such text as valid for whole ofterritory. . No similar negotiations, thus, would take place with any local de factJauthorities. If they hesitate to apply rules of Kasavubu text for constitutiona-reasons, we would discuss with them their formal acceptance of obligations specifiedin Kasavubu text, thus maintaining clear distinction as regards their constitutionalstatus, marking nationwide validity of commitments of Chief of State„

In fact, we would regard initiation of negotiations of status agreepe'X initself as full confirmation from President's side of wish to maintain UN. Publicationof arrangements for such negotiation would therefore partly -== but only partly —>meet the sane need as, statement from Kasavubu which makes clear his acceptance ofcontinued cooperation.

Rest of memo seems self-explanatory. The joint investigations obviously musthave agreed procedure which falls within framework of status arrargements. Same istrue concerning our relations to the army for the purposes of B-~ (I send specialmessage to Gardiner=Nwokedi re their initial talks'*.

Your demarche, naturally, should be coordinated with Garuiner~Nwokedi effortsso as to avoid any crossing of wires re B-2. However, jbhis demarche and memo haspriority, their concern with B»2 being only explanatory.

Aide Memoirs

(To be left with the President of the Republic by the SpecialRepresentative of the Secretary-General)

10 Recent public statements have been made by the President of the Republic and

leading personalities associated -with him to the effect that the presence of

the United Nations Force is no longer necessary in the Congo for the purposes

envisaged by the Security Council resolutions While no such statements have

been officially addressed to the United Nations they have naturally given rise

to considerable uncertainty regarding the intentions of the President of the

Republic and his associatesB Moreover, actions have been taken to restrict the

freedom of movement of the Force and in other ways to make the Force dependent

on authorities external to the United Nations* These acts, taken together with

the public statements^ lend themselves to the interpretation that it has been

the intention of the responsible Congolese authorities to make it impossible

for the United Nations to succeed in its tasko Whether this is so or not, it

is evident that a matter of this importance cannot be left to inferences from

public statements or restrictive actions0 It has become essential that the

doubt and ambiguity regarding the intention of the Congolese Government bet&VaJl-*- f*J<fi*iaP ^

eliminated and that an authoritative>p fc±3j clarification be made as to the

position of the Govemmento

2<> In the event the President were to express the view that the United Nations

Operation should be brought to an ends the Secretary-general would have to bring

this position inmediately to the Security Council for its consideration,,

3» However, it is the assumption of the S@cretary<*General that the President

of the Republic does not wish the United Nations Operation to be discontinued

in spite of difficulties that have been encountered0 If this assumption iscorrect and is confirmeds the Secretary General considers that it would be

desirable and indeed essential, to clarify the position by the adoption of

more precise arrangements regarding the status and rights of the United Nations

Force„ In the view of the Secretary<=Generals the misunderstanding and difficulties

which have arisen in the relations between the United Nations and the Republic

have "been attributable in large part to the absence of a comprehensive agree=ment dealing in specific terms with the nrutal rights and obligations of the

United Nations and the Republic of the Congo.

4« For these reasons, the Secretary-General would favor that negotiations beundertaken without delay for the elaboration of a comprehensive "status" agree-ment which would regulate such matters as entry, freedom of movement, Juris-diction, facilities, privileges and such other subjects which call for appropriate

flegal specification* ftQa has beeadone, for example, in the \status agreemer*between thetflnited Nation and the United Arab Republic in regard to the UnitedNations Emergency Force inVhat county, an agreement which hasVfunctionedsatisfactorily\for four yeawi in regulating the relations between the UhitedNations armed units and the host country ol

5e It should be borne in mind that the negotiation of a status agreement would

not involve on either side a demand for new rights or a relinquishment of therights already established under the Security Council resolutions and the basisagreement concluded with the Central Government of the Republic of the Congo on27 July 19600 This baaic agreement continues in force and constitutes a bindingundertaking on the part of both the United Nations and the Republic of the Congo0However, as indicated above, the misunderstandings which have arisen indicatethat the general principles already agreed upon should be clarified and renderedmore precise. It will be recalled that this had been envisaged at the time thebasic agreement wasconcluded and subsequently (about 2 September I960) a draft"status" agreement was submitted to the Foreign Minister by the Special Representativeof the Secretary-General However, as the President is aware, circumstances didnot permit the negotiation of the contemplated agreement. At the present time,it seems to the Secretary«General to be opportune and necessary to proceed withthis task so as to remove the ambiguity and misunderstanding that exists0

6« Obviously, the negotiation of a new "status" agreement must, in no waysbe considered as a reason for interfering with the implementation of the existingrightso On the contrary, such negotiation presupposes a clear and publicacceptance of the presence of the United Nations, plus the elimination of suchserious infringements of its rights as that inherent in the existing situationat Matadio It must be understood that if the Matadi situation continues it would

nullify the possibility of negotiating an agreement both because it interferes

physically with the current operations of the Force and because it challenges a

basic principle of the Charter on which any "status" agreement would have to be

founded. When the Matadi situation has been corrected it would then be possible,

in the opinion of the Secretary-General, for the negotiation and resulting agree-

ment to remove the uncertainties that have been a source of difficulty and

eonfusiono

7o In addition to the questions that normally cone within the purview of astatus agreement, there are two other subjects that might usefully be negotia-ted at the same time. The first is the question of arrangements for the jointinvestigation of incidents in which personnel of the ANC or the United NationsForce are involved. In this connexion reference may be made to the recentexchange of letters with the President of the Republic in which the President

expressed his desire to see such arrangements for joint investigation,,

&o The second question relates to the role of the United Nations Force in

relation to the organization of the ANC on the basis of para. B(2) of the

Security Council resolution of 21 February 1961„ Negotiation on this point

might appropriately take account of the informal understanding on the subject

that had been reached in August 1966 and would be directed to specifying the

principles and procedures that would apply to United Nations assistance toauthorities of the Republic of the Congo in regard to the reorganization of the

Congolese armed units and personnel in accordance with the objective stated inpara. B.2 of the resolution of 21 February 1961« An agreement reached on thissubject might be an annex to the general status agreementD In the view of theSecretary-General the negotiation of an arrangement on the reorganization ofthe aimed units should, equally with the negotiation of a "status" agreement be

regarded as a matter of urgency to be undertaken without delay if it is thedesire of the President of the Republic that the United Nations Operation inthe Congo be continuede i

9« Finally, the Secretary«-General considers that it would be appropriate inthe present circumstances for the status agreement and related agreements to take

the form of a memorandum to be initialed by or on behalf of the President of the

Kepublic and the Secretary-General« It is anticipated that this procedure

would make it unnecessary to consider the agreement in terms of constitutionaltreaty-caking requirements0

Aide mt&apire

(que le Representaht special du Secretaire general remettraau President de la Republiqus)

1. Ls President de la Republlque et de hautes personaalites qui collaborent avec lui

ont r cenaaent fait des declarations publiques selon lesquelles la presence de la Force

des Nations Unies n'est plus necessaire aux fins envisages dans les resolutions du

Contrail de securite,, Ces declarations n'ont pas ete officieHement adressees a

1'Organisation des Uations Unies, mais ©lies ont naturellement suscite une tr&s grande

incertitude touchant les intentions du President de la Republique et de ses collaborateurs.

Do plus, des mesures ont ete prises pour restreindre la liberte de mouventent de la Force

et pour soumettre cette derailre, de diverges autres manieres, a des autorites

exterieures a 1'Organisation0 Ces aetes, Joints aux declarations publiques, donnent

a psnser que 1*intention des autorites congolaises responsables a ete d*emp§cher lee

Nations Unies de r&iseir dans leur t&cheo Qu'il en soit ou non ainsi, il va de soi que,

pour une question de cette importance, on ne saurait conclure sur la foi de deductions

tirees de declarations publiques ou de mesures restrictive. II est devenu indispensable

d'eiimin@r les doutas et les equivoques touchant les intentions du Gouvernement congolaisoj£<t*&l(e eJcaJlrWr'ifkfj

et d'obtenir de source autorise® une misa au point .yuMJiyuLf concernant la position de

ce gouverneznento

2. Au cas ou le President expritoerait 1"opinion qu'il faut mettre fin a 1'Operation

des nations Unies, le Secretaire general devrait izomediatement aviser le Conseil de

securite, pour examen.

3. Le Secretaire general presume capendant que le President de la R publiqu© ne

souhaite pas que I9Operation des Sations Unies soit interrompue, malgre les difficult

que 1'on a rencontrees. Si cette supposition est corrects et si elle est confirmee,

le Secretaire general considers qu'il serait souhaitable, et mitae essential,, de

pr ciser la situation en adoptant des arrangements plus precis touehant le statut

et les droits de la Force des nations Unies. D@ I8avis du Secretaire general, l©s

malentendus et les difficulties qui sont apparus dans les relations entre 1'Organisation

dss Nations Unies et la R publiqua ont 6t6 dus en grand® parti© & I1absence d'un

accord d*ensemble $*nonc,ant en tenoss precis lea droits et obligations r ciproquss de

1*Organisation et de la Re*publique du Congo«

It. Pour cas raisons, le Secretaire g n ral serait heureux de voir des negociationa

entreprises sann d4lai en vu® de la redaction d'un accord general de "statut" qui

r£girait des questions te5J.es que l'entr£e; la libert de mouverosnt, la Juridiction,

les facilit s, las privileges et toutas autres questions qu'il imports de d&oent

pr ciser sur le plan j?iridique, |0(eat ce qui a &t& faij .par exempl®, dans I9accord

de statut eatr® I8Organisation d®s iopsu-eaSes et la B publiqu© arabg unie au sujet

de la Force d'urgence des Na| @n uni®!9 dans ce pays, accord qui depuis qimtre ans

le pa

5o II y a lieu de ne pas psrdre de vue que la n gociation d'un accord de statut ne

aignifierait pas que 1'une ou 1'autre des parties demande de nouveaux droits ou

renonce uux droits &63& tablis en vertu des resolutions du Conseil de s curite ®t de

1>accord d base conclu le 27 juillet I960 avec le Gouvsraeiosnt central de la RSpublique

du Congo, G@t accord de base demeure en vigueur et constitute un engagemant obligatoir«

taut pc.'ir 1* Organisation des nations Unies que pour la Republique du Congo 0 Toutsfois

comaa il est dit plus haut, les malentendue qui se sont produits isdiquent qu'il faut

mievjc d finir et pr ciser les principss gdn raux qui ont d£ja t4 convenuSo On se

rappellera qua c©la avait e°te" envisage" au moment ou 1'accord de "base a e'te' conciu et

que par la suite (vers le 2 septambre I960) un proJet d*accord d® "statut" a e'te' soumis

au Ministre des affaires ©"trangeres par le Repre*sentant special du Secretaire general,

Mais, comma le salt le President,, les circonstances n'ont pas permis de negoeier

1'accord envisage". Maintenant, il semble au Secretaire ge'ne'ral qu'il est opportun et

ne"cessaire de s'attaquer a cette tSche pour e"cart©r les Equivoques et les nzalentsndus

qui existent-

69 De toute Evidence, la ne*gocistion d'un nouvel accord de "statut" ne devra

aucuaeraent Stre consid^r^a conaae uce raisoa pour contrarier le respect des drolts

tablia» Au contrairs, cette association presuppose une acceptation claire et publique

de la presence des Nations Uniea, ainsi que 1'Elimination d'atteintes s rieuses aux

droits de 1' Organisation comme cells inhe'rente a la situation qui exiate a Matadi, II

doit §tre entendu que la situation a Matadi, si elle persistait, rendrait impossible

de n gocier un accord parce que, d'une part, elle g&ne mat riellement les operations

actuelles de la Force @t, d'autre part; elle est contraire a un principe fondamental

de la Charts sur lequel tout accord de "statut" devrait £tre fond « Une fois la situation

a Matadi redressee, le Secretaire general pense que la negociation et I8accord en

d coulant pourront supprimsr les aanbigult s qui ont 6t6 one source de difficult et de

confusion.

7<> Sn plus des questions qui entrant normalemsnt dans le cadre d'un accord de

statut, il en est deux autres qu'il pourrait Stre utile de n gocier sn mSme temps. La

premiere a trait aux arrangesusnts a envisager pour uns enqutte comanaa® sur les incidents

impliquant du personnel de I'AMC ou de la Force des nations 0nies<> A cet gard; il

y a lieu de se r4f e"rer au recent change de lettres dans lequel lo President de la

Republique a exprlmd le d sir de voir arrtter des arrangements de ce genre en vug

d'enquStes communes <>

8. La deuxieme question a trait au r8le de la Force dee nations Unies pour c® qui

est de 1'organisation de X'AHC, sur la base du paragraphs B°2 de la resolution adoptee

par le Consell de securite le 21 f vrier 1961» Les negociations sur ce point pourraient

utllement tenir ccmpte de 1*entente intervenue officieusement a ce sujefc au moia

d'aoQt 1960 et viueraient a pr cieer les principle et procedures qui s'appliqueraient

a 1' assistance prlitee par 1'OiisU aux autorites de la R publique du Congo pour la

reorganisation dea unites et du personnel arm s congolais en vue d'atteindre le but

6nonc au paragrapne B»2 de la resolution du 21 f vrier 1961 „ Un accord sur cette

question pourrf.it Stre annexe a I1 accord general de statute De I8 avis du Secretaire

general, la nJgoclation d'un arrangement sur la reorganisation des unites armdes

devraitj au aiSme titrs que la association d'un accord de statut, Stre consid re® comsae

une question urgent© dont il conviendrait de s'occuper sans retard si le President

de la Rdpublique eouhaite que 1*Operation des Nations Unies au Congo soit poursuivie.

9. Safin, le SicrStairs general croit qu'il serait bon, dans les circonstances

actue.IJ.es, que lfaccord de statut et les accords connexes prenaent la forme d'un

m&noire qui a«rait parapbe par le President de la R£publique et le Secretaire

ou en leur ncm« Cette faqon de faire devrait eviter deavoir a cousiderer I3accord

sous 1'angle constitutionnsl des conditions requises pour la conclusion de traites*

on the recommendation of the Credentials Ccamittee, adopted resolution

(X7)« By this resolution, the General Assem&ly

"ACCSPIS the credentials of the representatives of theRepublic of the Congo (Leopoldville) issued by the Headef the State and cpassanicated by him to the President ofthe General Aseenfcly in a letter dated S Hovea&er 1960s18

January 1961, accrediting him to all principal organs of the United nations

(see part II below) a

6, Credentials issued by the Head of State or Government or by the

of the General Assembly, have not been received with respect to Mr. Ipoto,

Mr. Maboti, Mr. Mondenga and Mr0 Kap@ia0

II0 Permanent Missions to the United 1stions

To General Asseably resolution 257 (III) of 3 December 1948 on Fermaoent

Missions to the United Kati©ns recosoiends, inter alia,

"That credentials of the perEaanent representatives shall beissued either by the Head of the State or by the Head of theGovernment or by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and shallbe transmitted to the Seeretary~€feneral; °°

Resolution 257 (ill) to submit, at each regular session of the General Assembly,a report on the credentials of the permanent representatives accredited to the

Waited Rations. The report to the 15th session will be submitted in the near

future. In the present instance, since the General Assembly has acceptedcredentials issued by Mr. J.

to the permanent missions to the United Nations under General Assembly resolution

be in order°

16 marB 1961

Comme suite a ma lettre du 2? fevrier 1961 et a 1'echange de correspon-

danee ulterieurrf relatif a la mise en oeuvre de la resolution adoptee par

le Conseil de securite le 21 fevrier 1961, je desire maintenant entreprendre

de nouvelles mesures, avec votre cooperation, au sujet de la partie de ladu Congo

resolution concernant le retrait et 1'evacuation/du personnel halgamat

militaire efc paramilitaire et dee conseillers politiques beiges et d'autres

national!tes (paragraphe A-2 du dispositif de la resolution S/4741). <Je

desire egalement me eferer a la question de la reorganisation de 1'Armeeq£^Jri<j\S

nationale congolaise (paragraphe B-2 de la resolution S/4741), (sT5rHquelle

vous avez present^ certains commentaires dans totre lettre du 5 mars 1961.

II est re*ellement gtyyiq»ftiiaKifgtgifatt.itaiTii^»at fort regrettable que le sens

de la resolution S/4741 et le but meme de la presence des Nations Unies au

Congo continuent a etre mal interpretes. dans certains milieux^ malgre nos

explications et nos assurances repltees. II ne devrait guere £tre necessaire

de redire que le seul objectif de I1Organisation est d1aider a retablir et

a maintenir 1'ordre public, a sauvegarder 1'independance et 1'integrite^«S

territoriale du Congo et a favoriser le bien-etre de «es 14 millions

tibtafcix d1habitants. Je sais que vous avez toujours compris qu'il en est

bien ainsi; c'est pourquoi je formule les propositions suivantes:

- 2 -

Afin d'assurer la prompts mise en oeuvre du paragraphe A-2 du dispositif

de la resolution, notamment en ce qui concerns les conseillers politiques,

je propose d'envoyer la seraaine prochaine a Leopoldville une delegation

comprenant M. E. Gardiner VSKStf&h et M. F.C. Nwokedi erftiff et charges

d'examiner avec vous et wos conseillers les meilleurs moyens de donner effet

a la decision du Conseil de securite. Je ne doute pas que vous n'accordi-4s1

toute votre cooperation a cette delegation. La delegation sera assistee de

M. Khiari J&Tunisi'eJ qui exerce les fonctions de conseiller d1 administration

publique pour les operations civiles de 1'ONUC a Leopoldville. Je me

propose d'envoyerjf dans quelques jours a Bruxelles M. 1'Ambassadeur Tarib

Sahbani jfflunTste) qui s'occupera des obligations fy** comports la resolution^\

susfcunentionnee pour Is Gouvernement bslge ave£ lequel, comms vous le savez,fetj'ai eu un echange de correfipondance soulignant sa jtapx responsabilit^ essen-

- ,tielle/aux termes de la resolution. -A I'iayue^aes discussions qu'il aura

k J(ji/ ^TKBruxelles, M. Skhbani *«nQoindra peut-etrexaocKK MM. Gardiner et Nwokedi a

Leopoldville.

Dans le cadre de I1assistance technique des Nations Unies au Congo, les

ressources de I1Organisation, y compris ses possibilites de recrutement, seront

dans/la plus large mesure possible mises a la disposition des autorites congo-

laises pour les aider a JSXB&XXK remplacer, dans la mesure necessaire, les

fonctionnaires au^aeiafiee^tlfsquels il doit etre mis fin. Vous comprendrez

certainement que la mise en oeuvre de la resolution du Conseil de securite

n'est pas subordonnee a ces remplacements. Neanmoins, aucun effort ne sera

epargne", dans I1 esprit de^l1 operation des Nations Unies, pour obtenir le

personnel dont-on-aura boDOini.^:?ir(^eviter I1 interruption des services publics

et-petn? faire en sorte que I1administration continue a fonctionner sans heurt.

. • T- 3 -

J'espere que la de*le*gation et les conseillers aqEga-y»apuj?gitot vnns pourriez

desirer qu'elle consulte proce*deront a un examen de la situation du personnel

des services publics au Congo afin de determiner, kx±2Ddaanzkzx notanunent a la

lumiere des mesures que prend le Gouvernement beige dans ce domaine, les postes

qui tombent sous le coup de la decision prise par le Gonseil de secuidfce*.

En ce qui concerne 1'autre aspect de la resolution du Gonseil de securite,

a savoir la reorgani|ation de I'Aume'e nationale congolaise, j'ai pris note des

mesures de reorganisation suggerees dans votre lettre du 5 mars 1961 qui pourraitat

servir en partie de point de depart a un examen commun de la question! Ces pro-

positions sont maintenant examinees d'urgence par le teommandement militaire des

Nations Unies au Congo ainsi qu'au Siege de 1' organisation. Je vous adresserai

le plus t6t possible une nouvelle communication a ce sujet. Entre temps j'ai

demande a la delegation d'entrer en consultationavec KOUS et de me faire part

de JurnaxasnnfBriarx'XMTt Knmtdm toutes nouvelle s precisions concernant vos vues en

la matiere. En outre, j'espere que la visite de la delegation contribuera

a dissiper tout malentendu et toute interpretation erronnee qui pourraient

subsister a propos de la resolution. Je n'ai guere besoin de repeter que le

Conseil de se'curite n'a jamais eu I1 intention de desarmer 1'Armee national

congolaise,

Je tiens a ajouter que la fagon dont vous abordez cette question me porte

a croire qu'il est possible d'elaborer un programme commun qui servira les

meilleurs interets de la Re"publique du Congo.

- 4 -

Finalernent , je voudrais gaqscSacspanK. preciser qu'en raison de la nature

et de la portee de cette tache particuliere, j'ai demande a la

delegation de presenter directement a vous et a vos conseillers mes vues et

mes propositions. En prenant cette ri««fcKinH decision, j'ai juge necessaire

de ne pas charger mon Eepresentant special au Congo d» cette tache particuliere

etant donne qu'il doit consacrer tout son temps aux questions journalieres

que pose I1 operation de 1'ONUC au Congo. Le Representant special et ses

collaborateurs seront, bien entendu, disponibles pourji donner a la delegation

et a vous-m§me toute 1' assistance donb vous pourriez avoir besoin.

Veuillez agreer, Monsieur le President, les assurances de ma tres

Following my letter of 27 ebruary 1961 and subsequent correspondence

on the implementation of the resolution adopted by the Security CouncilJS^ -on 21 February 1961, I now wish to initiate action, with your co-operation,

^^*

in connexion with that part of the resolution concerning the withdrawal

and evacuation of Belgian and other foreign military and para-military

personnel and political advisers from the Congo (operative paragraph A-2*a c*/i ~ \

of resolution S/4741 suet- also /to make fart her reference to the question

of the reorganization of the AKC (operative paragraph B-2 of resolution

S/4741) on which yon have commented in your letter of 5 March 1961.

It is indeed most regrettable that the meaning of resolution S/4741

and the very purpose of United Nations presence in the Congo continue

in some quarters to be misunderstood in spite of our repeated explanations

and assurances. It should not be necessary to repeat that the only purpose

of the Organization is to help to restore and maintain law and order,

safeguard the independence and territorial integrity of the Congo and

promote the welfare of its 14 million people. I know that you have always

understood this to be the case, and it is with this knowledge that I make

the following proposals:

In order to ensure the speedy implementation of operative paragraph

A-2 of the resolution, with special reference to political advisers, I

propose to send to Leopoldville next week a delegation comprising

Mr. R. Gardiner QlianarV and Mr. F.C. Nwokedi j JigerdtS to examine with you

and your advisers the best possible means of giving effect to the decision

of the Security Council. I have no doubt that you will give the delegation

your fullest co-operation. The delegation will be assisted by Mr. Khiari

SanfSia who is Public Administration Consultant with ONUC Civilian

Operations in Leopoldville. I am sending Ambassador Tarib Sahbani wesesys.

to Brussels in the next few days to deal with the demands which the above**> ~U>-<. kt—ttnyl' -*-.*— > »~\

resolution makes on the Belgian Government/ After his discussions in

Brussels, Mr. Sahbani may join Messrs. Gardiner and Nwokedi in Leopoldville.

As part of the United Nations technical assistance to the Congo,

the resources of the Organization,

'y. ' K i v\ ~* *

"[ '* - 2 - :

including its recruitment facilities, will, to the fullest possible

extent, be made available to the Congolese authorities in their efforts

to find replacements, to the extent necessary, for the officials whose

services have to be terminated. You will, of course, understand that the

execution of the Security Council resolution is not conditional on

such replacements. Nevertheless every effort will be madefb^secure the

necessary personnel to prevent the disruption of the public services and

to ensure the smooth running of the administration.

It is my hope that the delegation and. the advisers you may wish them

to consult with will review the staff position in the public service of

the Congo in order to determine, in the light, among other things, of the

action that is being taken by the Belgian Government in this regard,

those posts which fall within the terms of the Security Council decision.

As regards the other aspect of the Security Council resolution

concerning the reorganization ofthe ANC, I have noted the reorganization

measures suggested in, your letter of 5 March 1961 which in part might form

a' starting point for a joint examination of the question. These proposals

are now being studied, as a matter of urgency, by the United Nations Military

Command in the Congo, as well as at Headquarters. I shall address you &

further communication on this subject as soon as possible. Meanwhile,

I have asked the delegation to consult with you and to communicate to me any

further elaboration of your views on this matter. Furthermore, I trust

that the visit of the delegation will help to dispel any remaining

misunderstanding and misrepresentation regarding the resolution. I need

hardly repeat that it has never been the intention of the Security Council

to disarm, the ANC.

I would add also that your approach to this question encourages me to

believe in the possibility of a joint programme which will serve the best

interests of the Republic of the Congo.

Finally, I should explain that in view of the special nature and

scope of this particular task, I have requested the delegation to represent

my views and proposals directly to you and your advisers. In taking this

decision, I have thought it necessary not to burden my Special Representative

in the Congo with this particular task since he must give all of his time

to the day-to-day affairs of the ONUC operation in the Congo. He and his

officers will, of course, be available to give the delegation and yourself

all possible assistance.

Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration
