The world body also voted the jestablishment of a special com- mittee of 14 member states, to be designated by the assembly president, to recommend prac- tical means by which the terri- tory should be administered.

Only South Africa and Portu- gal voted against the measure. THREE ABSTAINED Britain, France and Malawi abstained. Botswana and Le- sotho were absent; both adjoin South Africa and are dependent on. it economically.
