I listened with keen interest to your opening statement, and the Swiss delegation agrees with everything you have said.

Whisper sweet nothings in my ear... like the population of the Bronx or how many hot dogs were sold... last year at Yankee Stadium.

We have taken note of your initial statement today, and we wish to assure that we shall participate in the four sessions that you have indicated for the weeks ahead.

I think that your statement was a very important one, especially when you remind us that the passivity in this chamber is nothing but a reflection of insufficient political willingness in a number of capitals to negotiate treaty law.
