The budget of the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization emissaries will be cut by 20 percent, the Zionist Executive decided Tuesday. The WZO employs 520 emissaries, with another 200 who are not financed by the WZO or the Agency. The cots will be implemented by reducing the number of emissaries and funding them by the local communities.
REMINDER: There will be no Bulletin dated Oct. 8 due to Columbus Day, a postal holiday.
