A date and site for the third Brussels Conference on Soviet Jewry will be selected by the Conference Presidium at a meeting this spring, according to Leon Dulzin, chairman of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency Executives. Dulzin reported this on a Kol Israel Radio interview from Madrid today where a Committee of Ten is discussing the next Brussels Conference.
The committee was appointed at the World Jewish Congress convention in Jerusalem last month. It is conducting its deliberations in Madrid where the international conference on compliance with the Helsinki human rights accords, which began last year, has resumed its sessions. The committee also has in mind the Communist Party Congress just opened in Moscow. It sent a cable to Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev on that occasion expressing concern over the condition of Jews in the USSR.
Dulzin said the committee members will hold a series of meetings with the ambassadors of various countries who are in Madrid for the human rights conference.
