“Statement by the President: I am very happy that the request I made for the immediate admission of 100,00 Jews into Palestine has been unanimously endorsed by the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry. The transference of these unfortunate people should now be accomplished with the greatest dispatch…I am also pleased that the Committee recommends in effect the abrogation of the White Paper of 1939, including existing restriction on immigration and land acquisition to permit the further development of the Jewish national home…” The Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry on Jewish Problems in Palestine and Europe was a joint British and American committee assembled in Washington and tasked to examine the political, economic and social conditions in Mandatory Palestine in relation to the matter of Jewish immigration.
