The government approved yesterday the recommendations by the Emergency Fund High Commission concerning approval and coordination of fund-raisers. According to the recommendations, an organization or institute supported financially by the government or by the Jewish Agency is obliged to get approval from the Emergency Fund High Commission to raise funds independently. It was learned that a few Cabinet members expressed reservations, arguing that the government should not limit the freedom of organizations to do what they wish. The resolution was finally accepted without objection.
