	Nr. III
	15 August 1962
   Sir,
   I have the honour to refer to the discussions that took place on 13 and 14
August 1962 at the United Nations Headquarters between representatives of the
Government of Indonesia, the Government of the Netherlands and the
Secretariat
concerning certain financial arrangements which are envisaged in connexion
with United Nations Administration of West New Guinea (West Irian).
   In response to the request of the representatives of the two Governments
these agreements are set forth below.
   The Secretary-General will prepare, in consultation with the two
Governments, a budget covering the total anticipated costs involved in its
administration of the Territory, and will request the two Governments to make
advances of funds in such currencies and at such time(s) as may be required
to
cover the anticipated costs.
   The funds made available by the Governments to the Organization will be
treated as "trust funds" in accordance with United Nations Financial
Regulations 6.6 and 6.7 and will be administered in accordance with the
established United Nations financial regulations and rules relating to trust
funds, reserve and special accounts, and, in particular, United Nations
Financial Regulations 10.1 (d), 10.2 and 11.3 relating to the arrangements in
respect of (a) the maintenance of an internal financial control to provide
for
an effective current examination and/or review of financial transactions in
order to ensure the regularity of the receipt, custody and disposal of the
funds, the conformity of obligations and expenditures with the purposes and
rules relating to the trust funds, and the economic use of the resources; (b)
providing that no obligations shall be incurred until allotments or other
appropriate authorizations have been made in writing under the authority of
the Secretary-General and (c) maintaining a separate special account for all
funds received in trust from the Governments.
   As soon as possible after the termination of the United Nations
responsibility for administration of the Territory an audited statement of
the
income and expenditures arising from and in connexion with its administration
of the Territory will be rendered to the two Governments, and any balance of
funds in the trust fund that are not required to cover commitments entered
into by the Organization in this connexion will be refunded in equal shares
to
the two Governments.
   If, after preparation of the initial budget, unforeseen developments
should
occur giving rise to the need for additional funds from the two Governments,
the Secretary-General would prepare a supplemental budget in consultation
with
the two Governments, and request such additional deposits in the trust fund
as
would be required.
   It may be anticipated that the budget estimates would consist of two major
parts, the first relating to what may be described as the normal territorial
operations and accounts, and second relating to expenses to be incurred by
the
United Nations for staff and other costs (salaries, United Nations pension
contributions, insurance, travel expenses, communications costs, etc.) which
may not be dealt with appropriately as part of the normal territorial
operations.  The second part of the budget would also include the costs of
any
security personnel that might be required and for which no provision has been
made in the existing budget for the Territory.
   It is my understanding that the representatives of the two Governments
participating in the discussions expressed agreement with the arrangements
set
forth above, but I would be pleased to have you advise of your Government's
concurrence regarding them.
   Accept, Sirs, the assurances of my highest consideration.
