Extract

The Assembly of the International Civil Aviation Organization held its sixth session in Montreal from May 27 to June 12, 1952. Mr. John Paul Barringer (United States) was unanimously elected president of the assembly and Col. B. M. Amarante (Brazil), Mr. A. Kofoed-Hansen (Iceland), Dr. R. Sugoto (Indonesia) and Mr. E. Bisang (Switzerland), vice-presidents. The question of economy overshadowed the entire session and Canada's offer of a $130,500 reduction in annual headquarters rental, subject to parliamentary approval, was clearly “the highlight in savings”. Although certain delegations considered that the organization's activities should be curbed, the prevailing opinion of the conference was that the scale of effort for past years should be sustained in 1953. The Assembly adopted a gross budget of $3,259,384 for the fiscal year 1953 with assessments to contracting states amounting to $2,817,167, as compared with a net budget of $2,824,994 for 1952.
