l The Sub-Committee, at its fourth session, established a Correspondence Group, with the co-ordinator of Mr. S. OTA (Japan),on evaluation of the liquefaction potential of solid bulk cargoes. The terms of reference given to the group as specified in annex 3 of report DSC4/14 are as follows:
The group should:
.1 investigate the information on the detail of the scope of the application of the requirements for solid. bulk cargoes which may Liquefy；
.2 look for comparatively fine granular materials which are transported in bulk regardless of moisture content and comparatively coarse granular materials which are subject to the requirements for liquefaction materials；
.3 submit a progress report to the outcome of its intersectional work to DSC5 and request to be allowed to work during the next intersessional period；
