  One-dimensional disordered systems with a random potential of a small
amplitude and short-range correlations are considered near the initial band
edge. The evolution equation is obtained for the mutual ditribution
P(\rho,\psi) of the Landauer resistance \rho and the phase variable
\psi=\theta-\varphi (\theta and \varphi are phases entering the transfer
matrix), when the system length L is increased. In the large L limit, the
equation allows separation of variables, which provides the existence of the
stationary distribution P(\psi), determinative the coefficients in the
evolution equation for P(\rho). The limiting distribution P(\rho) for
L\to\infty is log-normal and does not depend on boundary conditions. It is
determined by the 'internal' phase distribution, whose form is established in
the whole energy range including the forbidden band of the initial crystal. The
random phase approximation is valid in the deep of the allowed band, but
strongly violated for other energies. The phase \psi appears to be a 'bad'
variable, while the 'correct' vaiable is \omega=-ctg (psi/2). The form of the
stationary distribution P(\omega) is determined by the internal properties of
the system and is independent of boundary conditions. Variation of the boundary
conditions leads to the scale transformation \omega\to s\omega and translations
\omega \to \omega+\omega_0 and \psi\to\psi+\psi_0, which determinates the
'external' phase distribution, entering the evolution equations. Independence
of the limiting distribution P(\rho) on the external distribution P(\psi)
allows to say on the hidden symmetry, whose character is revealed below.
