An American Zionist Congress will be convened next November by the American Zionist Council, Rabbi Irving Miller, AZC president, told the plenum of the Jewish Agency executive today. He made the announcement after a report was given by Mrs. Rose Halprin on the Jewish Agency’s activities in the field of Zionist organization in the United States.
The plenum decided to send teams to America to engage in Zionist organizing and propaganda work on the eve of the American Zionist and World Zionist congresses. The decision was taken at the conclusion of a discussion on the problems of the American Zionist movement. It stressed that propaganda and organization work will be the sole task of these teams, possibly to underscore the fact that the groups would not engaging fund-raising activities.
The executive’s resolution hailed the new program of activities of the American Zionist Council and welcomed the Council’s decision to convene an American Zionist Congress. The executive also expressed support of the idea of forming a Zionist Council–similar to that in the United States–in other American countries.
The plenum also named a committee of 14 members, including seven members of the executive and seven representatives of Zionist parties to draft the final details of the agenda for the 25th World-Zionist Congress which will be held here in December.
