76^th MEETING OF THE DIRECTING COUNCIL OF THE
INTER-AMERICAN CHILDREN'S INSTITUTE

May 9-11, 2001
Montevideo, Uruguay

THE DIRECTING COUNCIL,

WHEREAS:

The 76^th Regular Meeting of the Directing Council was held at IACI Headquarters in the City of Montevideo;

All of the resources for the organization of this Meeting were therefore provided by the IACI, from its regular budget, and despite negotiations by the Office of the Director General, no additional funds were obtained for this purpose, due to the financial difficulties of the OAS;

Uruguay's National Institute for Minors, whose President represents the country on the Directing Council, offered sustained logistical support to the Office of the IACI's Director General for the organization of the event;

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Education and Culture both made important contributions in their fields, and shed the light of their valuable personal interventions on the Meeting;

As well, the Central Bank of Uruguay contributed generously to the organization of the meeting, by providing its magnificent facilities in which the event was held;

RESOLVES:

To thank the Government of Uruguay, particularly the National Institute for Minors, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education and Culture, and the Central Bank of Uruguay, for the considerable support they provided for the organization and development of the 76^th Meeting of the Directing Council of the Inter-American Children's Institute.
