mittee on Negotiations with Specialized Agencies, and Mr. Roger Seydoux, Member of the Executive Committee and Chairman of the Negotiating Delegation of the Preparatory Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization.

On 21 June 1946, the Economic and Social Council, during its second session, unanimously recommended the Agreement between the United Nations and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization to the General Assembly for its approval.
