5. In his closins remarks the Chairman/ expressed the sincere 

regrets of bo'f;h Lt. General Canine and HADM.. tfonger· at being unable to 

attend the final meeting. He continued by/saying that he was rather 

· apprehensive of what was eoing to happen tq his British friends when they 

arrived home, because in our country when. a workingman proves too ambitious 

and does much more than is required in a:·· given period, sometimes his 

fellow workers call him down. He said /that the results of six days' lab9ur 

by the British team was· so outstanding/ that when they arrived home some of 

their associates might say that they had se.t a .bad example for future 

British teams. He explained that he/meant .to imply that the conference 

had made very rapid progress in a very short time. He stated that not only 

the members of the UK tea.in, but also those from the British Embassy who 

were called in to c.onsult had contributed to this progress. He ext.ended 

particular thanks to the UK Delegation for coming to sit and discuss these 

very important matters with the /US team; and, in seeing them off, he wished 

them a safe journey horne and God-speed. 

6. In reply, Mr .I !proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman 

of· the Conference for all the help and guidance through the past days of 

work. He expressed, on behalf of the British delegation first, his 

thanks to the Chairman, and, secondly, to(b.ll the .members and advisors 

or the US team his gratitude for the patit'nce and helpful way in which 

they had aided in the work. He also expressed his ·gratitude to General 

Canine for all his kindness in the arrangements wh~ch had been ma.de for 

the comfort and convenience of the conference, which, he said, could not 

have been better. And finally, he expressed his appreciation for the · 

flattering terms in which the Chainnan had. described the British efforts. 

7. The Chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the Secretariat for 

facilitat:J,.ng the work of the conference, for their speed with which the 

records were published and for their att~ntion and attendance during 

the long hours of the conference. This was ma.de unanimous. 

8. The Chairman then thanked the members of the US team for their
