I should like right at the beginning

I should like right at the beginning to say that I welcome the amendment which was proposed to the draft resolution by the Foreign Minister of the United Arab Republic. The amendment makes effective change but I think it is a happier way of putting forward the idea contained in the resolution. When I had the privilege to put forward the resolution from five nations before this Assembly, I expressed the hope that it would be accepted unanimously. It did not seem to me reasonably possible that any member of this Assembly could object to the resolution.
