(02/13/98)
;
,
SPONSOR: Sen. D'Anlato.
,
I
SUMMARY: Title I of this act-directs the President to instruct the commissioner
representing the United States on the Tripartite Commission for the Restitution of
Monetary Gold to seek and vote for a timely agreement under which all signatories to the
Paris Agreement on Reparations with ciaims against the monetary gold pool in the ~ ,
Commission's jurisdicrion contribute all or a substantial portion of such gold to charitable
organizations to assist :survivors of the Holocaust. As an inducement to do so, it
authorizes the President to obligate up to $30 million for such distribution (this sum
represents the present value of the difference between what Congress originally
authorized as compens'ation for the assets of heirless victims of the Holocaust either
seized or frozen.in the [United ~ta~es at the onset of World War II and the amount actually
paid in '1962). Of the $;30 million authorized, $25 million is .to go to organizations paying
restitution to Holocaus~ victims, and $5 million for archival research to assist in the
restitution of assets looted or extorted from victims of the Holocaust and such other
activities that would Nrther Holocaust remembrance and education. Title II expresses the
I
'
sense of the Congress that all governments undertake good faith efforts to return works of
I
.
art confiscated from rightful owners during the period of Nazi rule.

Title
A name given to the resource
Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States, formed in 1998, was charged with investigating what happened to the assets of victims of the Holocaust that ended up in the possession of the United States Federal government. The final report of the Commission, <a href="http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/pcha/PlunderRestitution.html/html/Home_Contents.html"> “Plunder and Restitution: Findings and Recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States and Staff Report"</a> was submitted to President Clinton in December 2000.</p>
<p>Chairman - Edgar Bronfman<br /> Executive Director - Kenneth Klothen</p>
<p>The collection consists of 19 series. The first fifteen series of the collection are composed mostly of photocopied federal records. These records were reproduced at the National Archives and Records Administration by commission members for their research. The records relate to Holocaust assets created between the mid 1930’s and early 1950’s by a variety of U. S. Government agencies and foreign sources.</p>
