169. At this juncture we should like to pay a tribute to the efforts of the Secretary-General, U Thant, in connexion with United Nations action for development. The Committee for Development Planning instituted by the Economic and Social Council [see resolution 1079 (XXXIX)] and set up by the Secretary-General, has made it possible to survey effective ways and means of guiding and organizing development activities, whilst the Advisory Committee on the Application of Science and Technology to Development has shown how mankind can devote the resources of its creative genius to the needs and demands of development.
