  1. “In April, once United Nations planning and East Timor's political developments become clearer, the Council should begin work on a resolution establishing the post-independence role of the United Nations, already foreshadowed in the presidential statement we adopted in October 2001. I would like to reaffirm the support of the United States for the successor mission concept, as discussed in October and fleshed out more extensively in the most recent report. At the same time, I would like to stress that neither UNTAET nor a successor United Nations mission can eliminate all the challenges that face an independent East Timor, as with those that any developing nation will face in meeting the needs of its citizens and achieving economic prosperity.”

  2. “I would like to thank Mr. Vieira de Mello for his good work and for his report this morning. The briefing heard this morning illustrates yet again that East Timor is on the right track. I take advantage of the presence of Cabinet Minister Ramos- Horta to ask him to convey to the members of the Constituent Assembly our commendations for the progress they have achieved thus far in moving through the difficult process of drafting a first constitution. At the same time, I would urge them, all East Timorese involved in the political process, and the United Nations to stay on track for the elections in April and independence on 20 May. The United States supports a rollover of the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) through May, as proposed in the draft resolution we expect to approve tomorrow.”
