The first sum allocated for rep- arations for Jews—$22,600,000 from German external assets to be used for rehabilitation and reset- tlement—was granted by the Pa- ris Reparation Agreement of De- cember, 1945, after Conference representations and meetings with American members of the Allied Reparations Commission and rep- resentatives of neutral govern. ments. Citing the Paris Agreement as a precedent, the Conference has proposed to Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, that a portion of German external assets in La- tin America, which the South American countries are now li- quidating, should also be set aside as reparations for Jews. Restitu- tion of Jewish property in Ger- many and Austria are part of the Conference's work in progress.
