1. The Belgian Representative is out of New York until Wednesday
and his Delegation have received no instructions from Brussels. We
stressed the need for immediate action and the Belgians undertook
to contact Langenhove. Meanwhile we discussed the procedure in
general terms but it is clear that we cannot expect much progress
until we are in a position to make concrete suggestions.

2. The following procedure is submitted for your approval-
(A) Designation of third Member of Committee. We would appreciate
advice a to country you have in mind with one or two alternatives.

For your information the United States have informed us they do
not wish to be designated. The Indonesians here have indicated
they do not want United States, U.S.S.R. or Poland and we gather
they do not favour China or Brazil. They also assume Syria's too
deeply committed on the Indonesian side to be considered. They
would welcome designation of United Kingdom or Colombia. We
presume, however, Eaton will have ascertained the views of the
Indonesian Government. We have little indication as to whom the
Belgians are likely to favour. Presumably they would agree to the
United Kingdom but would prefer Brazil or China to Colombia.

(B) Advice to the Security Council of the designation of the third
country.

(C) Appointment of a Secretariat Group to proceed to Indonesia.

(D) Appointment of Representatives by the three Governments and
establishment of a Committee in Indonesia presumably with dual
headquarters in Batavia and Djokjakarta.

(E) Election of Chairman of Committee and Organisation of its
work.

(F) Commencement of the work of the Committee.

3. We believe that the Committee should interpret the resolution
itself and avoid as far as possible referring back to the Council
for instructions. It should, however, keep the Council constantly
informed.
