DAILY PRESS BRIEFING OF OFFICE OF SPOKESMAN FOR SECRETARY-GENERAL

19960514 FOR INFORMATION OF UNITED NATIONS SECRETARIAT ONLY

Sylvana Foa, Spokesman for the Secretary-General, told correspondents at today's noon briefing that things were unusually quiet at Headquarters. She went "on the squawk box yesterday evening offering confidential UN secrets", and was surprised no one called up for more details. She had since learned the system was broken.
