Editorial Note
The United Nations Security Council met on August 11 from 3 to 6:25 p. m.; for the record, see U.N. document S/PV.486. The procedural stalemate prevented any action being taken by vote and most of the session was taken up with lengthy statements by Sir Gladwyn Jebb and Mr. Malik, ventilating their opposing views of the conflict in Korea.
For the text of a statement by Secretary of State Acheson on August 11 commenting on Soviet tactics of obstruction in the United Nations Security Council, see Department of State Bulletin, August 21, 1950, page 286.
