37., The Com~ittee authorized the Chairman of the Committee to opprove those two requosts in consultation with th~ other members of the Bureau subject to the outcome of n techl1ical review by the Secretariat and the professional non-governmental organizations concerned.
38. The Committee decided to ask the Bureau' to claborat~ guidelines for the evaluation of technical co-operation requests which could be then reviewed and adopted by the Committee, and would be includ~d in the operational guidelines.
39. The Committee urged Sta tea Partj.es to indicate in their future technical co-operation requests, details of their counterpart contribution as well aa other contributions from bilateral or multilateral sources made or plonned for the conservation of the property in question.
40. The representative of the United Stat€s of America ~xpressed reservations on the continued need for temporary assistance to the Socr~tarint for th0 implementation of tne Convention and abstained on the relevant item of the budget. In this respect the Secretariat drew nttention to tho fact that the proposed increase for temporary assistance is in proportion far smaller than the overall increase in the budget which corresponds to El considerable increas,e in tho workload. The Secretariat further indicated that services to the Convention provided directly from the regular programme of Unesco could be estimated approximately at 250,000 $ per year.
41. The Committae,undar the budgetary line for programme support for ICOMOS, included 7,000 S for carrying out thematic' studios.
4Z. The Committee shared the point of view expressed by the French dele5~te that assistance provided by the World Heritage Fund should not bo··considored solely as complementary or residunl contribution to bilateral or multilateral co-operation programmes, but that this assistance should be usod more of ton to launch programmes of this type. t i

XI. WORLD HERI~AGE FUND
44~ The Committee examined a proposal made by one of its members, presented as fol10ws
IIContributions offered to the World Heritage Fund for international aB~istance campaigns and other Unesco proj~cts of technic~l cooperation for any property inscribed on the World Heritage List shnll be accepted and used as international assistance persuant to S~ction V of the Convention and in conformity with the modalities established for carrying out the campaign or project".
45. The Committee adopted this proposal.
46. The Committee further agreed with the following recommendations :
a) States Parties to the Convention who anticipate making contributions towards international essistancc campaigns pr o~her Unesco projects of technical co-operation for any property inscribed on the World Heritage List are encouraged to mak~ their contributions through the World Heritage Fund.
b) Additionally, the World Heritage Committee encourages the General Conference of Unesco to give great attention in future campaigns to sites which are on the World Heritage List.
XII. THEJ.tE STUDIES
47. The Representatives of IUCH and ICO~10S presented their point of view on this important topic. i'he Committee noted with satisfaction IUCN's plans for the preparation of a worldwide inventory of natural sites through worldwide distribution of questionnaires and organisation of a series of expert meetings during thp. next two years.
48. The Committ~e discuGsed the reque~t of IUCN to establish a subcommittee for in depth review of and guidance on the preparation of inventories as well as on theme studies for comparative analysis. The Committee felt that this matter should be discussed further by the Bureau.
49. The Committee welcomed the offer made by IUCN to assist States Parties to the extent possible in the preparation of tentative lists and to carry out an in depth analysis based on such lists. The Committee agreed that a strong effort should be made to encourage States Partjes to prepare tentative lists, which ICOMOS offered to analyze on a comparative basis to assist the Committee's considerations of nominations to the World Heritage List.
SO. The Committee shared the view of ICOHOS that global theme stUdies on cultural properties would not be feasible at the present time for various reasons. Howevert it was felt that special thematic stUdies for problem areas identified in the process of evaluating nominations may have to bo conducted by lCOHOS and, if necessary, with support from the World Heritage Fund.

AN1\TEX I
Mecsage fro~ ~rime Minister of France, Mr. Raymond Barre
I would like to welcome the participants of the fourth session of the World Heritage Committee. The French Government is honored that this me~ting, which brings together the leading specialists in h~storical monuments and natural sites, is being held in 1980 in France. At the request of the President of the Rcpu~lic, 1980 is in fact Heritage Year in our country. It is marked by numerous activities initiated by the State, local commHnities and associations for preserving and enhancing the illu.strious and; more humble legacies of our p~oplers past. It is fortunate that Heritage Year offers the opportunity for this international event, held under. the auspices of Unesco. .I wish the Committee every success in its work, which will strengthe~ the ~~ll of all countries to join together in safeguarding the ele~0nts of .the world heri tagt! • .
