We have repeatedly stated our disagreement with the ritual succession of general speeches reiterating positions we could all recite from memory.

I have seen Presidents speaking and many Ministers addressing the issues before us.

I made the point, which has also been made so clearly by most speakers today, that we are not there yet.

We speak not a word.

The Chairman I earlier gave my own account of what happened in the informal consultations.

We have the green light let us talk.

During those negotiations, the Russian side did not hear anything similar to what we heard today from this rostrum.

We have no voice!

We have no vote!

We will now move on to the list of speakers.

We are distributing to delegations the full text of our remarks, which is significantly longer than the text that I will deliver in the interests of brevity.

And we used to be quite proud of the way we generated power.

They said No. But we found our fathers doing so.

They said, In fact we found our forefathers doing likewise.

They said, 'Nay, but we found our fathers so doing.'

They said nay but we found our fathers doing in this wise.

They said Nay, but we found our fathers doing so.

They said, But we found our ancestors doing so.

They answered No but we found our forefathers doing so.

They said Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise.

They said, Indeed, we found our fathers doing likewise.

They replied 'No, but we found our fathers doing so'

They said, But we found our fathers doing thus.

or can they benefit or harm you?

They said Nay, we found our fathers doing so.

They replied, But we found our fathers doing the same.

They said Nay, but we found our fathers doing thus (what we do).

We could wipe out everything that's happened to us since.

Let's say the marriage vow

We have time for one last comment.

The President (spoke in French) We have heard the only speaker in explanation of position.

The Chairman We have heard the last speaker in explanation of position.

I remind speakers that we now have 16 speakers on our list for this meeting.

We will be able to finish our work tomorrow if speakers do not take too long in making their statements.
