§ Mr. John MorrisThere is already machinery in the Economic Commission for Europe for developing international standards for the construction of vehicles, and a World Conference will be held in the Spring of 1968 which, among other things will consider further safety requirements for vehicles. A working Party or the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Industry Committee is meeting next week in Paris to consider the new U.S. Vehicle Safety Standards.
