HE SAID THERE IS UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT UP TO AND INCLUDING THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE LEVEL IN THE CHILEAN MFA THAT CHILE SHOULD REMAIN ON THE COMMITTEE AND NOT FURTHER ISOLATE ITSELF IN THE UN; HOWEVER, FOREIGN MINISTER CARVAJAL AND HIS CLOSEST ADVISERS ADVOCATE WITHDRAWAL. IN HOLGER'S VIEW, WITHDRAWAL WOULD BE AN ERROR, SINCE IT WOULD ADD TO CHILE'S ISOLATION IN THE UN; WOULD DENY CHILE CONVENIENT ACCESS TO AFRICAN NATIONS WITH WHICH IT HOPES TO INCREASE ITS TIES; AND WOULD HAVE POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECT ON U.S. INTERESTS, SPECIFICALLY PUERTO RICO, IN THE COMMITTEE SINCE THE LIKELY CANDIDATES FOR A VACATED LA SEAT WOULD BE JAMAICA AND GUYANA. (CONFIDENTIAL -- USUN 3729) BEGIN UNCLASSIFIED COMMITTEE OF 24 -- THE COMMITTEE ADOPTED A DRAFT RESOLUTION DEALING WITH THE ACTI- VITIES OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC AND OTHER INTERESTS IMPEDING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DECOLONIZATION DECLARATION AND A DECISION RELATING TO MILITARY ACTIVITIES AND ARRANGEMENTS BY COLONIAL POWERS IN TERRITORIES UNDER THEIR ADMINISTRATION, BOTH BY VOTE OF 21-0-1 (AUSTRALIA), AT ITS SEPT. 13 MEETING. A WORKING GROUP REPORT ON MEETING SCHEDULES AND PROCEDURES WAS APPROVED ALSO. IRAQ INTRODUCED A DRAFT RESOLUTION ON THE FALKLAND ISLANDS WHICH WOULD REQUEST THE UK AND ARGENTINA TO EXPEDITE NEGOTIATIONS CONCERNING THE DISPUTE OVER SOVEREIGNTY AS REQUESTED IN GA RESOLUTIONS; CALL ON THE TWO PARTIES TO REFRAIN FROM TAKING DECISIONS THAT WOULD IMPLY INTRODUCING UNILATERAL MODIFICATIONS IN THE SITUATION WHILE THE ISLANDS WERE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS RECOMMENDED IN THOSE RESOLUTIONS; AND REQUEST BOTH GOVERNMENTS TO REPORT TO THE SYG AND THE GA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ON THE RESULTS OF THE NEGOTIATIONS. IN EXPLANATIONS OF VOTES, FORRESTER (AUSTRALIA) SAID HE ABSTAINED IN PART BECAUSE THE RESOLUTION ON ECONOMIC INTERESTS FAILED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN ACTIVITIES, BOTH PRIVATE AND GOVERNMENTAL, WHICH WERE PREJUDICIAL AND THOSE WHICH WERE BENEFICIAL TO THE CONFIDENTIAL CONFIDENTIAL PAGE 03 USUN N 03744 02 OF 02 160233Z PEOPLES INVOLVED. HE ABSTAINED ON MILITARY ACTIVITIES BECAUSE CERTAIN PARAGRAPHS IN THE DECISION CONTAINED CRITICISMS WHICH TOOK NO ACCOUNT OF RELEVANT CHARTER PROVISIONS. IN STATEMENT ON THE FALKLAND ISLANDS, MURRAY (UK) DESCRIBED THE IRAQI DRAFT RESOLUTION AS "TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE." HE REJECTED THE PREMISE THAT THE ONLY OUTCOME OF NEGOTIATIONS "COULD BE THE RECOGNITION OF ARGENTINIAN SOVEREIGNTY." REFERENCE TO "DECOLON- IZATION" WAS INAPPROPRIATE SINCE NEARLY ALL THE INHABITATNS WERE BRITISH, WHO NEITHER ASKED FOR INDEPENDENCE NOR EXPRESSED WITH TO BE INTEGRATED INTO ARGENTINA. THE DRAFT WAS NOT CALCULATED TO "REASSURE THE FALKLAND ISLANDERS THEMSELVES THAT THEIR LONG-TERM INTERESTS WOULD BE BEST SERVED BY CLOSE LINKS WITH ARGENTINA." MURRAY STATED THAT THE ISLANDS WERE SELF-SUPPORTING, THAT THE ISLANDERS WISHED TO REMAIN BRITISH, AND THAT THE WISHES OF THE ISLANDERS THEMSELVES MUST BE A PRIME CONSIDERATION. ORTIZ DE ROZAS (ARGENTINA) ARGUED THAT THE CONCEPT OF SELF- DETERMINATION MUST NOT BE APPLIED "BLINDLY," DECLARED THAT IN 1833 A PORTION OF ARGENTINA'S TERRITORY HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM IT BY FORCE, AND ARGUED AT LENGTH THAT ARGENTINA HAD A RIGHT TO ITS TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY.
