IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MAY 3, 1946
The President has received the following letter:
"May 2, 1946
"Dear Mr. President:
"We, the undersigned American members of the Executive
of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, deem it our duty to address
to you our profoundest satisfaction with the adoption by the
Anglo/Ancrican Committee of your proposal with respect to the
100,000 displaced persons. We believe, as you do, that it is of
the first importance to proceed without delay with the inplemen-
tation of the program in relation to the actual transfer of the
100,000 to Palestine.
"We desire to take this means, Mr. President, to pledge
to you our fullest cooperation in this great task not only on
behalf of the Jewish Agency for Palestine but also on behalf of
the great number of American Zionists whom we have the honor to
represent. Our organization here, on the Continent and in
Palestine is at your disposal in the execution of any part of
the program that may be assigned to us.
"With deepest appreciation of the statesnanlike and
humano spirit which prompted you to take the initiative in this
historic move and with renewed assurance of our abiding gratitude,
we have the honor to remain,
Respectfully yours,
/s/
