Commission;

3. Urges the Atomic Energy Commission, in accordance with General Assembly resolutions 1 (I) of 24
January 1946 and 41 (I) of 14 December 1946, to continue its inquiry into all phases of the problem of
the international control of atomic energy and to develop as promptly as possible the specific proposals
called for by section 5 of General Assembly resolution 1 (I) and by General Assembly resolution 41 (I),
and in due course to prepare and submit to the Security Council a draft treaty or treaties or convention
or conventions incorporating its ultimate proposals;

4. Requests the Atomic Energy Commission to submit a second report to the Security Council before the
next session of the General Assembly.
