Israel.
These funds nave since been
paid by the PCC to the owners of
those accounts. The program for
Israel's release and transfer of
refugee bank accounts blocked in
Israel since its War of Liberation
and of safe deposit and safe cus-

In its report, the PCC's chair-
man, Christopher Thoron, a rep-
resentative of the United States,
noted also that the long-term
efforts of the commission to
identify real estate and other
immovable property holdings in

Israel claimed by refugees had
been completed by May 1964.

However, Thoron noted, the
commission will not release figures
on the values ascribed to indi-
vidual properties until broader
problems in regard to possible
compensation to Arab refugees are
solved. The commission is com-
posed of the United States, France
and Turkey.
' A call for the establishment of
"Combined Refugee Commissions,"
to be composed of representatives
of the Arab refugees and of Israel,
under the aegis of the United
Nations, was issued in New York
