Reconvening this afternoon in open meeting, Sub-Committee I of the Ad Hoc Committee on Palestine resumed discussion of the proposals submitted by various delegations on implementation of the eventual recommendations of the General Assembly on Palestine.

Dr. PEDRO ZULOAGA (Venezuela) proposed that a working group be set up, composed .of representatives of Guatemala, the US and the USSR to study and bring nearer the proposals put forward by these three countries for implementing the Assembly recommendations.

This proposal met with the support of MAJOR GENERAL JOHN H. HILLDRING, (USA) and Dr. J. GARCIA GRANADOS (Guatemala)

Mr. SEMEN TSARAPKIN (USSR) expressed the wish to postpone decision on the Venezuelan proposal until further questions and replies on the Guatemalan, US and Soviet proposals for implementation had been heard.

Leaving those questions and replies for a later meeting, the Sub-Committee then took up the question of Economic Union (Section “D” of the Partition Plan of the UNSCOP Report – pages 50 – 51).
