Extract

Fifth United Nations Technical Assistance Conference: At the Fifth United Nations Technical Assistance Conference, which met at Headquarters on November 26, 1954, under the presidency of Mr. Hans Engen (Norway), 56 governments pledged the equivalent of $12,264,000 to the 1955 expanded program of technical assistance; this amount represented an increase of 16 percent over the amount pledged by the same governments to the 1954 program. Of the countries which had contributed to the 1954 program, 19 did not announce their contributions to the 1955 program during the Conference, although several delegations, among them those of the United States, Japan, German Federal Republic, New Zealand and the Dominican Republic, assured the Conference that their governments were planning to make further contributions and that pledges would subsequently be announced.
