The delegation, representing the Emergency Committee for Palestine Affairs, included Dr. Stephen S. Wise, head of the committee; Emanuel Neuman, Mrs. David de Sola Pool, president of Hadassah, and Rabbi Isadore Breslau, director of the American Zionist Bureau. They met with N.M. Butler, counselor, and A.C.E. Malcolm, second secretary of the Embassy.
Following the meeting with the embassy officials, the delegation held a six-hour conference at Zionist headquarters here.
