[Reproduced from U.N. Document E/4606/Rev.l of May 1969, Annex IV. f The draft protocol for the control of psychotropic substances not under I international control (amphetamines, barbiturates, hallucinogens, and tranquillizers) emerged from the twenty-third session of the U.N. Com-I mission on Narcotic Drugs (January 13-January 31, 1969). The draft ] protocol was submitted to governments for comment by June 30, 1969. The Secretary-General will then prepare a document to be considered by a special session of the Commission on Narcotics in 1970. The Com-mission should, at that time, be in a position to prepare a draft for submission to an international diplomatic conference.]
