The mixed Israeli-Transjordan armistice commission has reached “an agreement on service units to be held in the defensive areas” assigned to each of the parties, it was announced here today in a joint Transjordan-Israeli communique.
The communique added that “some progress has been made” during the past two days of meeting. The agreement reached today is based on the Rhodes pact and its annex which provides for limited strength for both units within fixed areas and sets the number of men and quantity of equipment which each party may maintain in the “defensive areas.”
Three special subcommittees of the mixed commission will meet tomorrow, it was announced. One of the bodies is the Jerusalem subcommittee, but the other two were not named in the communique.
