Editorial Note
On May 18 the Intergovernmental Study Group on Germany (ISG) held its final plenary meeting and agreed on the texts of the various reports on restitution, reparations, contractual relations, and debt settlements. In a brief concluding report, IGG/P(51)116 Final, dated May 16, not printed (CFM files, lot M–88, box 197), the study group stated that it had considered the subjects listed in the Foreign Ministers directive of September 1950 and the Brussels directive of December 1950 and had prepared nine reports for the Governments on these topics, thus completing the discussion of all aspects of its agenda.
Following the plenary the ISG representatives met with the Benelux delegates, briefed them on the reports, and informed them of the conclusion of the study group’s work.
