Nelson, Bill [D-FL] FL D N000032 2 (This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.)

Expresses appreciation for the efforts of the European countries that have implemented legislation for the restitution of, or compensation for, private, communal, and religious property confiscated during the Nazi or Communist eras and welcomes the efforts of the governments of many post-Communist countries to address the status of such property. Urges each government that has not already done so to implement legislation to effect the in rem return of, or the payment of, compensation for such confiscated property.
