Editorial Note
Israeli Representative Eban, on February 24, sent a letter to Secretary-General Lie requesting the Security Council to give renewed consideration to his country’s membership in the United Nations. The Council, on December 17, 1948, had failed to recommend such membership; see Mr. Lovett’s memorandum of conversation of December 21, 1948, Foreign Relations, 1948, volume V, Part 2, page 1676.
The text of Mr. Eban’s letter is printed in United Nations, Official Records of the Security Council, Fourth Tear, Supplement for March 1949, page 7.
