Holocaust Claims Panel Picks Leader
Former Secretary of State Lawrence S. Eagleburger has been chosen to chair an international commission formed in an attempt to resolve disputed insurance claims stemming from the Holocaust. The action was taken in New York at the commission’s first meeting. The 13-member commission is composed of representatives of the Israeli government, several Jewish organizations, several state insurance commissioners, including California Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush, and representatives of six European insurance companies that have been sued by Holocaust survivors and the heirs of Holocaust victims.
