SUMMARY RECORD OF THE NINTH MEETING

Held at the King David Hotel, Jerusalem,

on 1 February 1949, at 11.45 a.m.

* Alternate

Report by Colonel de LA RUE on his conversation earlier in the day with Colonel Dayan, on the subject of:

1. the crossing of boundaries by members and staff of the Commission;

2. the repair of the road between Government House and the Arab zone,

In view of the afternoon reception to be given by Dr. Mussa Husseini and Colonel Dayan’s refusal to open the road block once more between 5.30 and 6 p.m., the Commission decided to call for Mr. Gaulan immediately.

Mr. Gaulan arrived at 12.30 p.m. and was informed of the two problems by Mr. de Boisanger. He agreed that the road block should be opened in the evening. As far as the question of the road was concerned he would communicate with Mr. Shertok on the subject.
