  • 14 March 1997 Dear Congressman, I Should Like to Respond to Your
    THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 14 March 1997 Dear Congressman, I should like to respond to your letter dated 4 March, in which you expressed your concern about holding this year's meeting of the Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland. I wish to assure you that I share your profound concern on the question of Jewish assets. I have stated publicly my hope that this issue can be settled quickly, appropriately and equitably and to the satisfaction of all concerned. In this connection, I am greatly encouraged by recent reports regarding steps being considered by the Swiss authorities for the benefit of victims of genocide world-wide. As for the holding of the meetings of the Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, you are no doubt aware that the city of Geneva has a long tradition as a "city of peace", and plays host to a variety of international humanitarian organizations, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross. Geneva is also the home of numerous United Nations bodies involved in humanitarian affairs, including the High Commissioner for Refugees, the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Centre for Human Rights. On a more practical level, the United Nations Office in Geneva is equipped with conference facilities to service major intergovernmental meetings such as those of the Commission. In this light, I hope you will agree that the location of the Commission's meetings has no political significance. fours sincerely, •Koff A. Annan The Honourable Sam Gejdenson United States House of Representatives Washington, D.C. BENJAMIN A. OILMAN, NEW VonK LEE H.

  • 88-49-141 Barry Jackson Jeff Kennedy, Moderator Fairbanks
    88-49-141 Barry Jackson Jeff Kennedy, moderator Fairbanks, Alaska Series: Potlatch series Mossy Davidson song Jeff Kennedy said Barry Jackson said the 1.9 million dollars that Congress arbitrarily assigned has short changed the forty or so lawyers who worked on the Land Claims Bill. He charged that Congress made no effort to evaluate the lawyer’s services. He doubts it would be practical to solve the problem with new legislation or adding another amendment to the Land Claims Act. Tlingit lawyer Fred Paul who first filed the claim is now representing Jackson. Under the Tucker Act attorneys had to file within six years of the passage of the Land Claims Act to receive any right to sue. Jackson believes no other lawyers will file. He received 115,000 dollars, but said his services were worth up to half a million dollars. He is not asking for any specific amount in his lawsuit. Jackson will talk about his involvement in the Land Claims Settlement. Jackson said he became involved in the Settlement Act in 1965. He was practicing law in Fairbanks as a solo practitioner. He had been the city attorney for about three and a half years. One day several Natives from the village of Minto came into his office with William Byler. Byler was the executive officer for the Association on American Indian Affairs. They do lobbying. They asked him to represent the village of Minto. Minto had been faced with the fact that the state was selecting land from Minto Flats. A protest to the state selections had been filed by Ted Stevens when he had been in private practice, but Stevens was no longer available.
