The exact modalities of that would depend on how the discussion of the framework evolves and how the OAU might wish us --- by us I mean and U.N. --- what they might wish us to do. There's already been discussion of U.N. cartographers, from time to time people have been talking about monitors from the U.N. Obviously, that would require further meetings and resolutions of the concil, but I think it's a good day." 2.35 GAZAGEREHLASE, ETHIOPIA (FEBRUARY 15, 1999) 10.
