The plenary session of the Jewish Agency today approved in principle a draft budget of 138,500,000 Israel pounds for the coming year to cover the requirements of the Agency in the fields of colonization, immigration, youth aliyah and other activities.
The session also elected a special commission to work out practical plans for bringing over 45,000 new immigrants, mainly from North Africa, and to plan for additional 5.000 immigrants. The newcomers will be transferred from their ships direct to settlements.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
