Con. Res. 44]\nThe Committee on Foreign Relations which has had under con-\nsideration several resolutions relating to the restoration of Palestine\nas a homeland for the Jewish people report favorably a concurrent\nresolution (S. Con. Res. 44) expressing the policy of the Congress\nwith respect to the restoration of Palestine as a homeland for the\nJewish people, and recommend that the concurrent resolution do pass.\nThe plight of the Jews in Europe and the indefinite status of Pale-\nstine formed the subject of a number of resolutions introduced in\nrecent years and referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. Most\nrecently, three proposals were submitted. The first was Senate Con-\ncurrent Resolution No. 37 introduced by Mr. Myers and Mr. Tobey\non October 2, 1945. The second was Senate Joint Resolution No. 112\nintroduced by Mr. Wagner, for himself, Mr. Taft, and Mr. Walsh, on\nOctober 26. The third was a proposal in the form of an amendment\nto Senate Joint Resolution No. 112 offered in the Senate Foreign Re-\nlations Committee by Mr. Guffey on November 19, 1945. A sub-\ncommittee consisting of Mr. Green, chairman; Mr. Tunnell; Mr.\nHatch; Mr. Austin; and Mr. Wiley was appointed to consider these\nproposals. The subcommittee had a number of meetings, at two of\nwhich the Secretary of State was present. The matter was also con-\nsidered by the full committee at several meetings, at one of which\nthe Secretary of State was present.\nYour committee, while cognizant of the appointment of a joint\nAnglo-American committee of inquiry into the subject and while it\ncommends the President for his interest in the matter, feels at the\nsame time that it is appropriate and timely for the Congress to give\nexpression to its views on the need for the restoration of Palestine as\nthe Jewish national homeland."
