4 Instead of a Coördination Committee, the Preparatory Commission set up a Drafting Committee consisting of delegates representing the five official languages and a small section of the Secretariat, called the Coordination and Drafting Section, to assist it; Handbook of the Preparatory Commission of the United Nations (Revised Edition), p. 39. Neither the Executive Committee nor the General Assembly set up by any “Coordination” or “Drafting” Committee.
5 For the personnel of the several sections see the Directory of the Delegations, Committees, and Secretariat of the Executive Committee, pp. 19–20; Handbook of the Preparatory Commission, cited above, pp. 37–39; and the handbook entitled United Nations: First Session of the General Assembly, London, 10 January 1946, pp. 50–53. The same observation as was made in note 2, above, can be made with respect to their professional competence.
