Digitized from Box 8 of the White House Press Releases at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library MARCH 19, 1975 Office of the White House Press Secretary NOTICE TO THE PRESS The President today announced the appointment of Henry A. Berliner, Jr., of the District of Columbia, as a member of the District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure for a term of five years. Mr. Berliner has served as a member of the Commission since December 14, 1973. Mr. Berliner is a partner in the law firm of Berliner, Maloney, Gimer & Muir of Washington, D. C. The District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure was established by Public Law 93-198 of December 24, 1973, which terminated the old District of Columbia Commission on Judicial Disa- bilities and Tenure which had been in existence since 1970. This re-established a new Commission with a new membership and new terms of office. The President appoints one member to the Commission. The President has designated J. Raymond Bell, of New York, New York, as Chairman of the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission. He has served as a member and Chairman of the Commission since his appoint- ment in November, 1973. The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission has jurisdiction to determine claims of the United States nationals against foreign governments for compensation for losses and injuries sustained by them, pursuant to programs authorized under the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949 and the War Claims Act of 1948. Available funds have their sources in international settlements, or liquidation of foreign assets in this country by the Departments of the Treasury or Justice, and from public funds when provided by Congress. The Commission was established by Re- organization Plan 1 of 1954 and consists of three members serving terms of three years. ###
