elections no later than October 1994 and to the early commencement of electoral
registration and other electoral preparations, and urges the parties to agree
promptly on a specific election date;

financial assistance to facilitate the implementation of the General Peace
Agreement and also to make voluntary financial contributions to the Trust Fund
