and 416 (1977) of 21 October 1977,
Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the United
Nations Emergency Force,
Recalling the Secretary-General's view that the situation in the
Middle East as a whole continues to be unstable and potentially
dangerous and is likely to remain so unless and until a comprehensive
settlement covering all aspects of the Middle East problem can be
reached, and his hope that urgent efforts will be pursued by all
concerned to tackle the problem in all its aspects, with a view both to
maintaining quiet in the region and to arriving at a just and durable
peace settlement, as called for by the Security Council in its
resolution 338 (1973),
1. Decides to renew the mandate of the United Nations Emergency
Force for a period of nine months, that is, until 24 July 1979;
2. Requests the Secretary-General to submit at the end of this
period a report on the developments in the situation and on the steps
taken to implement Security Council resolution 338 (1973);
3. Expresses its confidence that the Force will be maintained with
maximum efficiency and economy.
