STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
In view of the urgency of various problems relating
to the displaced Jews in Europe and Palestine, I am appointing
under the chairmanship of the Secretary of State a Cabinet
Committee on Palestine and Related Problems, composed of the
Secretaries of State, War and Treasury. The Committee will be
charged with assisting me in formulating and implementing such
policy with regard to Palestine and related problems as may be
adopted by this Government. An executive order will be issued
outlining the functions and authority of the Committee in
further detail.
The Committee will be authorized to nogotiate with
the British Government and with other foreign governments and
to maintain contact with private organizations relative to the
various matters arising out of the recommendations of the Anglo-
American Committee of Inquiry.
It is my earnest hope that the Cabinet Committee will
be able to undertake its urgent tasks at the earliest possible
moment.
