An agenda for the forthcoming Wold Zionist Congress was formulated today by the Jewish Agency executive. It provides for a 12 day session.
The Congress will be opened April 24 with addresses on the Israel political and security situation by Berl Locker, Agency co-chairman, followed by Premier David Ben Gurion and Dr. Nahum Goldmann. A debate on the political and security situation will be held the following day and a resolution will be drafted to express the sentiment of the Congress on these matters.
The Congress will turn to consideration of internal Zionist affairs on April 26 and it is hoped that debate will end by May 1 when committees get to work on specific problems. The Congress is expected to close on May 5 or 6.
