The Governing Council of the American Jewish Congress has unanimously adopted a resolution opposing the proposal for a national budgeting committee to establish the facts concerning the activities and the budgets of national and overseas agencies with a view to advising local welfare funds, President Stephen S. Wise announced today.
Dr. Wise also made known that a communication had been addressed to the representatives of the Congress in cities where there are welfare funds and community councils advising them to act in concert with other agencies to register their opposition to this appeal.
The board of directors of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds approved the proposal to set up the national budgeting committee at its General Assembly in Atlanta and is submitting it to a referendum of the welfare funds and community councils.
