The Representatives recommend to their Governments that they 

 should undertake to exchange information on logistic problems. 

 This might include information on the design and construction of 

 buildings and airstrips, the provision of power supplies, the perform- 

 ance of aircraft, ships, tractors and other vehicles, techniques of 

 supply of coastal and inland stations, the transport and handling of 

 cargo in Antarctic conditions, food and cold weather clothing. They 

 further recommend that consideration should be given to the calling of 

 a meeting or symposium of experts to consider the question of the 

 exchange of information on experience gained in matters of the or- 

 ganisation of expeditions, logistic support and transport, and that 

 proposals for the calling of such a meeting or symposium should be 

 discussed at or before the next Treaty Consultative Meeting. 



I-VIII 



The Representatives recommend to their Governments that : 



(i) they recognize the urgent need for measures to conserve 

 the living resources of the Treaty area and to protect them from 

 uncontrolled destruction or interference by man ; 



(ii) they encourage the interchange of information and inter- 

 national co-opferation with a view to promoting scientific studies 

 of Antarctic life as the essential basis for long-term conservation 

 measures ; 



(iii) they bring to the attention of all persons entering the area 

 the need for the protection of living resources ; 



(iv) they consult on the form in which it would be most suit- 

 able to establish in due course internationally agreed measures 

 for the preservation and conservation of the living resources of 

 the Antarctic, taking into account the discussion at and docu- 

 ments submitted to the First Consultative Meeting ;
