THINGS TO LOOK FOR TODAY

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE: The Committee of the Whole is expected to reconvene this morning at 10:00 am in Conference Room 4. It is possible that the Chair, Amb. Richell (The Netherlands), will announce a revised method of work, given the fact that the Committee was only able to discuss five out of 195 paragraphs on Monday. An evening session is more than likely.

OPEN-ENDED WORKING GROUP: It is not certain if this Working Group will meet today. Look for an announcement in The Journal. The Chair, Amb. Wlosowicz (Poland), is continuing to hold consultations on the organization of work for the Summit. There is still some disagreement on whether or not to allow ministers to speak during the meeting of Heads of State or Government. Look for a new paper containing the revisions to the Rules of Procedure.

US PRESENTATION: Timothy Wirth, US Under Secretary of State for Global Affairs, will speak on "US Views on the World Summit for Social Development" today at noon in Conference Room 1.
