RESIGNATION OF THE EXTERNAL AUDITOR
The Director has the honor to inform the Executive Committee that Mr. Uno Brunskog, who was appointed External Auditor of the Organization by the V Directing Council, pursuant to Financial Reg-ulations 12.1, has tendered his resignation.
Since his appointment Mr. Brunskog has served with distinction, and the recommendations on the financial policy of the Organization
which he has included in his reports from time to time have been extremely valuable.
For reasons of age, he resigned from his position of External Auditor of the World Health Organization at the end of 1966 and, in a
letter dated 20 March 1967, he has tendered his resignation to the Directing Council of the Pan American Health Organization, to become effective on 1 January 1968.
It has been the practice of the Pan American Health Organization and the World Health Organization to have the same External Auditor. The present External Auditor of WHO is Mr. Lars Breie, Auditor General of Norway.
In view of this, the Executive Committee may wish to adopt a resolution along the following lines:

I have had the honour to serve the Pan American Sanitary Bureau as External Auditor since 1952. However, my advancing years will no longer permit me to continue in this capacity. Therefore, I intend to retire on 1 January 1968.
May I at the same time express my sincere appreciation of the uninterrupted confidence placed in me for the last fifteen years by the Directing Council and the Conference. I have also appreciated
the courtesy shown to me at all times by the officials of the Organization. It has been a real pleasure for me to carry out the annual audit of its accounts.
Finally, Sir, I would like to extend my best wishes for the future to you, the Members of the Directing Council, the Director and the staff of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau. I am sure that the Pan American Health Organization will successfully continue with its important work.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Uno Brunskog External Auditor
