The agreement which was reached in Jerusalem among the leaders of American Zionist organizations to strengthen the American Zionist Council and to broaden the scope of its activities “is the most healthy development which has taken place within the Zionist movement in this country during the past few years,” Rabbi Irving Miller, president of the Zionist Organization of America, declared at a press conference here following his return from Israel this weekend.
“If fully and effectively implemented, this agreement should not only infuse greater vitality into American Zionism, but should serve as a major contribution to the cultural growth of the entire American Jewish community,” he said. He expressed confidence that the leaders of all Zionist organizations in this country “will proceed speedily with the practical implementation of the Jerusalem agreement.”
