composed of one representative from each of those states
represented on the Security Council and Canada, when that state is
not a member of the Security Council. Each representative on the
Commission may have such assistants as he may desire.

IV-Rules of Procedure: The Commission shall have whatever staff it
may deem necessary and shall make recommendations for its Rules of
Procedure to the Security Council which shall approve them as a
procedural matter.

V-Terms of Reference of the Commission: The Commission shall
proceed with the utmost despatch and enquire into all phases of
the problem and make such recommendations from time to time with
respect to them as it finds possible. In particular the Commission
shall make specific proposals.

(a) For extending between all nations the exchange of basic
scientific information for peaceful ends:

(b) For control of atomic energy to the extent necessary to ensure
its use only for peaceful purposes:

(c) For the elimination from national armaments of atomic weapons
and of all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction:

(d) For effective safeguards by way of inspection and other means

successful composition of each of which will develop the necessary
confidence of the world before the next stage is undertaken. The
Commission shall not infringe upon the responsibilities of any
organ of the United Nations, but should present recommendations
for the consideration of those organs in the performance of their
tasks under the terms of the United Nations Charter.'
