The Council, as a matter of fact, will recognize passages which are not now. They are paragraphs of previous draft resolutions. Our text reads as follows : THE SECURITY COUNCIL, NOTING the reports of the Secretary-General of 3rd and 4th December, 1971. HAVING HEARD the statements of the Representatives of India and Pakistan.

Calls upon the governments concerned to order forthwith, as a first step, an immediate cease-fire, the cessation of all military activities and mutual disengagement,
