 3716 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [62 STAT. ment in cooperation with the Fisheries Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations." With respect to the first part of the resolution the Delegate of the United States made the following statement: "The further instructions the U.S. Delegation has been awaiting regarding the need for referral of the Agreement to the FAO Conference have been received. "These instructions permit concurrence in Resolution one with the qualification that the United States reserve its position with regard to the Agreement entering into effect without referral to the next FAO Conference. "Since this matter has already been fully discussed and it is ap- parent that the U.S. position is not shared by other countries it is merely requested that the reservation on this one point be made a matter of record in the minutes of the meeting." With respect to the resolutions the Delegate of France made a state- ment as follows: "La delegation francaise accepte les resolutions de la Conference dans leur redaction en langue anglaise sous reserve de l'exactitude de la traduction francaise. "(The French delegation accepts the resolutions of the Conference in the English text, subject to the correctness of the French translation)." Liaison with other InternationalBodies It was moved by the Burmese Delegate, seconded by the U.S. Delegate, "That this meeting draws the attention of the proposed Indo-Pacific Fisheries Council to the need for the avoidance of duplication of effort between the proposed Indo-Pacific Fisheries Council and any similar bodies created by other International Organizations and desires to record its opinion that the Indo-Pacific Fisheries Council should be regarded as the principle organ in those fisheries matters coming within its competence." I certify that this is a true and correct copy of the Agreement reached at Ba- guio, Philippines, February 26,1948, for the Establishment of the Indo-Pacific Fisheries Council.
