Considerable attention was
paid by the Task Force to
the ways in which funds
raised by the Jewish com-
munity had been spent in the
past and to the probability
of reordered priorities.
The trend in the coming
decade is expected to be
away from more generalized
undertakings and toward the
allocation of greater funds
for more narrowly defined
Jewish interests, the Task
Force said.

has played an historic role
in the establishment and
maintenance of hospitals,
