The Directing Council,
Bearing in mind that the program of continent-wide malaria
eradication is already well advanced, and that various countries report
considerable areas already free of the disease; and

techniques in order to ensure that malaria has been completely eliminated
in a given territory,
RESOLVES:
To request that the Director study the possibility of establishing
in the Pan American Sanitary Bureau a "Register of Areas Where Malaria is
Eradicated," as well as the conditions that Member Governments should
fulfill to request that a given area be included in the aforesaid
Register, and that he report the results of his study to the 40th Meeting
