Meeting on April 4, 1952, the Council of the Organization of American States approved the report of the Committee on Inter-American Organizations and proposed standards for special agreements or arrangements and cooperative relations petween the Council and its organs and non-governmental organizations. The report on the publications and the information program of the Pan American Union submitted by the General Committee was approved; certain duties regarding this program which had been assigned the General Committee in January by the Council were declared no longer within its competence, in view of the changes made in the structure and functions of the committee by the Council in March. Thereupon, the Council established a Special Committee on Publications and Public Information of five members and delegated to it the duties connected with this program approved by the Council in January. Also at this meeting the Council requested the Inter-American Economic and Social Council to prepare the agenda and regulations of the special meeting of the Pan American Highway Congress, taking into account the first draft of the agenda and regulations drawn up by the organizing committee of the congress.
