Noting from the report of the Secretary-General of 10 March 1966 that in the present circumstances the United

is necessary to continue the Force beyond 26 March 1966,
Noting that the basic problem, according to the Secretary-General's report, remains unsolved,

2. Urges the parties concerned to act with the utmost restraint and to make determined efforts with a view

3. Extends once more the stationing in Cyprus of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force, established under
Security Council resolution 186(1964), for a period of three months ending 26 June 1966, in the firm hope
that by the end of this period substantial progress towards a solution will have been achieved.
