***

The Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations much regrets that the printed edition of the Report of the Tenth Session of the Conference could not be made available earlier.

Special arrangements were made to print this Report expeditiously at Geneva. Unfortunately a critical portion of the manuscript disappeared in transit. Its replacement entailed much delay.

The Director-General would recall that all Member Governments were supplied with copies of the provisional edition of the Report in stencilled form, and trusts that this will have served the immediate purposes of the Governments.
