Council in their deliberations. Has any member of the Council any observations to make about the question whether the whole of the proceedings should be filmed or whether there should be only part of the proceedings filmed?
Mr. Bevin (United Kingdom): We may be very handsome and everybody may want to see us, but it is very uncomfortable to have these lights. I should have thought that if they had a period in which they could film the proceedings for the sake of posterity, that would be enough and leave us a little comfort to discuss our problems.

The President: The next thing, before we actually adopt item 1 of the agenda, is a communication that was received from the representative of Yugoslavia bringing to the notice of the Security Council an application by the country of Albania for membership of the United Nations.[2] There has been some unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the way in which it was listed today upon the agenda. I will call upon the Executive Secretary to explain how that has happened.
The Executive Secretary: I must apologize, Mr. President, for a mistake for which I am
