EXECUTIVE BOARD
Fifty-ninth Session
Programme Committee of the Executive Board (1 to 6 November 1 9 7 6 )
As part of a comprehensive study on documentation of the World H e a l t h Assembly and
Executive Board requested in r e s o l u t i o n W H A 2 9 . 3 6 , and to a s s i s t in cutting d o w n a l l a v o i d a b l e and non-essential expenditure on establishment and a d m i n i s t r a t i o n requested by t h e H e a l t h Assembly in r e s o l u t i o n W H A 2 9 . 4 8 , as well as to i n s t i t u t e a programme o f operational e c o n o m i e s
in h e a d q u a r t e r s , as requested in resolution W H A 2 9 . 2 5 , a study has been undertaken on the documentation produced for or r e s u l t i n g from the H e a l t h Assembly and the Executive Board.
This includes both pre-session and in-session documentation, much of which is subsequently p u b l i s h e d in the O f f i c i a l Records s e r i e s .
In the p a s t , eight regular volumes o f O f f i c i a l Records have been p u b l i s h e d each y e a r . Together w i t h a d d i t i o n a l r e l a t e d volumes, these have amounted to n e a r l y 3000 p r i n t e d p a g e s , The compilation of this m a t e r i a l required in 1976 ( f o r a l l languages) the equivalent o f s o m e 40 man-years in terns of p r o f e s s i o n a l and general service e s t a b l i s h e d posts (about
$ 1 500 0 0 0 ) ; the r e c r u i t i n g of temporary s t a f f for conference periods ( $ 30 0 0 0 ) ; and p r i n t i n g costs and contractual services in the order of $ 400 000, These f i g u r e s give a general order of magnitude for the past few years; i f the O f f i c i a l Records s e r i e s is continued in i t s present form, they must be increased to take into account: ( a ) the a d d i t i o n a l costs for Chinese and (as from 1979 ) for Arabic; and ( b ) r i s i n g s t a f f i n g a n d p r i n t i n g c o s t s . I n the programme budget the costs of producing the O f f i c i a l Records are r e f l e c t e d in Appropriation Sections 1 ( P o l i c y o r g a n s ) , 7 (Health information and l i t e r a t u r e ) , and 8 (General service and support programmes).
I n view of such s u b s t a n t i a l c o s t s , and in l i n e w i t h a general attempt to achieve a 50%
reduction i n a l l documentât ion (a beginning has been made w i t h the documents for the
f i f t y - n i n t h session of the Executive B o a r d ) , it is proposed that the O f f i c i a l Records s e r i e s - which is part conference documentation, part a r c h i v a l - should be reduced. I f a l l the proposals are accepted the aggregate annua1 length of the s e r i e s could be cut by as much as 60%.
1 . D i r e c t o r - G e n e r a l ' s " A n n u a l " Report ( c f . O f f i c i a l Records, N o . 2 2 9 )
T r a d i t i o n a l l y some 350 pages long a n n u a l l y , the r e p o r t , as a r e s u l t of r e s o l u t i o n W H A 2 8 . 2 9 , would have been the same length in even-numbered y e a r s , but very short - probably about 30 pages - in odd-numbered years ( b e g i n n i n g i n 1 9 7 7 ) . The implementation of
r e s o l u t i o n W H A 2 9 . 3 6 , however, (which authorized the Director-General to discontinue p u b l i s h i n g a report on i n d i v i d u a l p r o j e c t s ) would reduce the comprehensive 350-page report to some
250 p a g e s .
I t is proposed that the comprehensive D i r e c t o r - G e n e r a l ' s report for the biennium 1976-1977 , to be reviewed by the Executive Board and the H e a l t h Assembly in 1 9 7 8 , should be further reduced to 100 pages. I t would contain no annexes but more summary tables and g r a p h s , would be more s e l e c t i v e in coverage, more synoptic and e v a l u a t i v e , p o s s i b l y less c l o s e l y t i e d to the o r g a n i z a t i o n a l structure.

Executive Board would be reduced from 60 to about 25 p a g e s . The saving on the two volumes c o n t a i n i n g the proceedings of the Health Assembly would be even greater - a total reduction of some 650 p a g e s .
The d i s c o n t i n u i n g of the p u b l i c a t i o n of summary records in the O f f i c i a l Records s e r i e s would thus be the greatest s i n g l e source of economy: the need to p r i n t more than a thousand pages (each c o n t a i n i n g some 750 words) would be e l i m i n a t e d .
Action r e q u i r e d by governing bodies
Amendment of Rules 8 7 , 91 and 92 of the Rules of Procedure of the H e a l t h Assembly;
amendment of Rules 20 and 21 of the Rules of Procedure of the Executive Board.
The net r e s u l t s of the above cuts should be an o v e r a l l reduction - as from 1978 - in the length o f the O f f i c i a l Records that governing bodies r e c e i v e , as follows :
