During the afternoon, the subcommittee on Jerusalem heard first the Egyptians and then the Trans Jordanians on the subject of internationalizing Jerusalem. Nothing definite emerged from the first exchange, it was learned, and talks will continue throughout the week. The Egyptians so far demand full internationalization, while Transjordan is much less specific and has left the door open for an alternative solution.
