Both proposals were unanimously adopted by the IOC. 



V. FUTURE IV EE TI NGS . 



The Second Session of the IOC will be convened at U1\ESC0 

 House in Paris in the early autumn of 1962 on a date selected 

 by the Secretary after review of other international meetings 

 which might be in conflict. 



The Delegation of Monaco offered its facilities to the 

 IOC for the Second Session. It was the sense of the Commission, 

 however, that during the formative stages of the IOC, its 

 meetings should be held in Paris using the facilities and 

 assistance offered by UNESCO. 



'\[1^ CONCLUSIONS . 



1. The conduct of the First Session of the IOC was 

 exemplified by a general sense of unity and harmony among all 

 participants. Although there were some differences on technical 

 or procedural aspects, they were of relatively minor consequence 

 to the major objectives of organizing the IOC for its future 

 efforts in international oceanographic studies and of 

 initiating some cooperative actions at this First Session. The 

 Delegation believes that these objectives were fulfilled 

 admirably. All actions were taken unanimously, 



2o In several private discussions with the Soviet 

 Delegation and in two reciprocally hosted luncheons with them, 

 they showed an evident desire to come to common agreements 

 with us for the success of the meetings.
