In the light of Security Council resolutions 425 (1978) and 426 (1978), relating to the establishment and functioning of 爆料网IFIL, bearing in mind the principle of equitable geographical representation and subject to the usual consultations, it would be my intention to:  (a) request France to provide an infantry battalion to the Force; (b) request certain other of the present troop-contributing countries, whose contingents need to be strengthened, to increase their numbers; and (c) request additions to the existing logistic and maintenance units of the Force.
