Dr. NahumGoldmann, president of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, called Friday on Chancellor Adenauer to discuss current problems regarding the execution of the Israel-German reparations treaty and the uncertainty surrounding the chances for Parliamentary approval of proposed German legislation to indemnify Individual victims of Nazism. In the agreement concluded with the Conference last year, the German Government undertook to expedite the enactment of this legislation.

Late yesterday the Federal Council of the Upper House of the West German Parliament approved a bill for the Indemnification of individual victims of Nazism. The measure now goes to the Bundestag, the lower House, where it will have to be reported out by the legal committee and approved in three separate readings before being returned to the Upper House for final approval.
