The legal committee of the Bundestag, lower house of the West German Parliament, will begin consideration Thursday of a draft law providing indemnification for individual victims of the Nazi regime.
The committee has also set aside the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for discussion of the measure which was originally drafted by the Bonn Ministry of Finance and amended in the course of recent consultations with experts of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany. The law is designed to fulfill obligations assumed by Bonn when it signed the reparations pact with Israel and the Claims Conference.
