Aj Congress Lauds President Nixon for Urging Ratification of Genocide Treaty

The American Jewish Congress today expressed its “profound gratification” to President Nixon for his “statesmanlike and far-seeing action urging Senate ratification of the United Nations Genocide Convention.” In a telegram to the President, Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld, of Cleveland, president of the Congress, said Nixon’s “initiative will, hopefully, bring our country’s national policy into conformity with the ardent wish of men the world over to end for all time the mass murder of human beings for racial, religious or ethnic reasons.”
