Extract

The first part of the sixteenth session of the General Assembly met at UN Headquarters from September 19 through December 20, 1961, when it was adjourned. The second part of the session was to begin on January 15, 1962. At the opening plenary meeting a moment of silence was observed as a tribute to the memory of the late Secretary-General and of the devoted officers of the UN who died with him. At the 1046th meeting, upon recommendation of the Security Council, the Assembly appointed U Thant as acting Secretary-General for a term of office ending on April 10, 1963.
