- WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 —Declaring that the Nazi anti-Jewish policy sought "to exterminate a whole people," 63 senators and 181 representatives sent to President Roosevelt today a joint declaration expressing their support of this country's "declared and traditional policy" favoring restoration of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine.
Senator Robert F. Wagner, of New York, who in his capacity as chairman of the American Palestine Committee announced the drafting of the declaration, declared that "we have been impelled to reiterate our position at this time by the horrifying reports which have been pouring in concerning the mass slaughter of European Jews." - History Unfolded Contributor
