PROPOSED RESOLUTION
(Submitted by the Representative of Venezuela)
ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION PROGRAMS
The Directing Council,
Bearing in mind that in the majority of countries diseases
arising from the lack of proper sanitation still constitute a serious
problem; and
Considering that in the programs of the Organization preference
should be given to those diseases so that the measures taken may be
truly adequate to meet the present needs,
RESOLVES:
To request that the Director reconsider the provisional draft
budget for 1961 in order that a considerably greater amount may be
devoted to sanitation programs, particularly with respect to
diarrheal diseases and helminthiases, and that such funds be obtained
through the reduction in allotments for projects of lesser urgency.
