Max Bressler, president of the Jewish National Fund, who just returned from a two-week mission to Israel, reported to the Board of Directors of the Jewish National Fund of America that 68 new settlements will be established within the next three years by the JNF in cooperation with the Government of Israel and the Jewish Agency. Many of these settlements built along Israel’s border, will strengthen Israel’s security. While in Israel, Mr. Bressler completed arrangements for the erection of the John F. Kennedy Monument at the entrance to the Kennedy Peace Forest in the Judean Hills outside Jerusalem.
