The Security Council is scheduled to meet here Wednesday to extend the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force on the Golan Heights for an additional period of six months. Both Syria and Israel have already agreed to the extension of the force and sources here said they expect no complications when the Security Council meets to vote on the extension. The current mandate of UNDOF expires Wednesday at midnight. The new mandate will extend until May 30, 1978.
