Having heard the Report of the Secretary-General on the activities of the Organization (Doc.CM/1002 (XXXIV) Part One,

AUTHORIZES the Secretary-General to consult with the Advisory Committee on Administrative, Budgetary and Financial Matters in order to review the present salary scale of the OAU;
REQUESTS the Secretary-General to submit a report on this subject to the next Session of the Council.
