  OPERATION SAFE HAVEN AND THE ASSETS OF EUROPEAN JEWS IN SWISS BANKS

  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I rise today to discuss an issue of great 
emotion and importance to Holocaust survivors and their families. The 
issue at hand is an inquiry into the return, by Swiss banks, of assets 
deposited by European Jews and others in the years preceding the 
Holocaust.
  From the 1930's until the onset of the Holocaust, European Jews and 
others deposited funds and other assets in Swiss banks for safekeeping. 
In doing so, they were trying to avoid what some inevitably saw as the 
writing on the wall, namely the coming Nazi onslaught. Others did so, 
simply for business reasons. At the end of the war however, a great 
many Swiss banks denied holding these assets.
  Throughout the intervening years, the victorious Allies made several 
requests of the Swiss Government for cooperation in finding these 
assets. Several organizations, in addition to the Allies made repeated 
and determined efforts to persuade the Swiss to examine their banks and 
to find these missing assets.
  For the Swiss though, the matter was simple, they did all that they 
could to

[[Page S3031]]

avoid any type of examination of their banking system, despite clear 
evidence of very deep cooperation with the Nazis. The Swiss hid behind 
their 1934 Bank Secrecy Act, claiming that they could not divulge the 
identity of their account holders. This is quite ironic in view of the 
fact that the 1934 Act was designed to protect the identity of the 
account holders from the Nazis. Now, they were using this same law to 
shield the assets from the survivors and the victims' rightful heirs.
  Finally, in a series of agreements and treaties with the Allies 
following the war, Switzerland reluctantly agreed to search their 
banks' files for these assets. Finally, in 1962, the Swiss Bankers 
Association undertook a search through their records to find what 
assets, they denied holding in the first place. At the conclusion of 
this search, they found approximately 9 million Swiss francs, or some 
$2 million, belonging to 961 claimants. Nevertheless, some 7,000 
claimants were turned down.
  Numerous sources have questioned the validity of this search, but 
nothing was done beyond this until another search was performed in 
1995. In this new search, according to the Swiss Bankers Association, a 
total of 893 accounts, holding $32 million were found. These accounts 
were said to have been dormant for at least 10 years and were opened 
before 1945. These numbers have been criticized, by a variety of 
sources, as vastly too small.
  It is in this vein, as Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, I 
have begun an inquiry into this situation. The inquiry will examine the 
procedures by which Swiss banks calculated the amount of assets in 
their possession. In these post-war searches, in 1962-63, and most 
recently in 1995, the Swiss banks used different criteria to conduct 
their examinations. Therefore, the Banking Committee will evaluate how 
the banks searched their accounts, and what kind of accounts might have 
been missed. The Committee will try to discern if the searches were 
comprehensive enough to find all assets.
  While in the early stages of the search, my staff has found 
declassified military intelligence documents that detail a variety of 
fascinating facts vital to this inquiry. In ``Operation Safe Haven,'' a 
program of the Joint Treasury Department-Justice Department-State 
Department operation to locate and identify Nazi assets and looted 
assets in Europe, Military Intelligence officers filed a series of now-
declassified reports on these topics. One such document, dated July 12, 
1945, details a list of 182 separate bank accounts held by Societe 
General de Surveillance S.A. of Geneva. These holders of these bank 
accounts were from Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Moravia, 
Slovakia, France, Holland, and Denmark.
  This important document is vital to understanding the issue of 
Holocaust assets in Swiss banks. More importantly, we must compare it 
to the declarations of the Swiss that they had no real assets in their 
possession, and to later fulfillment of some claims made with them. To 
start, I would like to know if these accounts are among those found in 
the post-war, 1962, and 1995 searches, and if not, where is the money 
now?
  At this time, Mr. President, I ask that the above mentioned document 
be printed in the Record at the conclusion of my remarks.
  Mr. President, this document proves vital to countering the claim 
that there were no assets, or very little. With the help of the 
Congressional Research Service, I would like to list the amount of 
assets, held in the various currencies reported, converted into dollars 
at the 1945 rate. Additionally, I will list the value of those assets 
in 1995 dollars accounting for inflation, as well as what the accounts 
would hold today with 3 percent, 4 percent, and 5 percent interest 
respectively. The amounts are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Mr. President, as you can see, these amounts are of an incredible 
magnitude. If they are accurate numbers, there is a real problem and 
the Swiss banks have a lot of questions to answer, and I plan to pose 
questions to them today. I plan on actively pursuing this matter until 
I achieve an authoritative, accurate and final accounting of all assets 
that numerous Swiss banks continue to hold from this time period and to 
which the survivors and rightful heirs are entitled.
  The document follows:

                            Safehaven Report

     Subject: Supplementary Report on Funds Held for Others by 
         Societe General do Surveillance S.A., Geneva.

       Reference is made to SAFEHAVEN Report No. 4 of April 9, 
     1945. Attached hereto is a list of balances held by Societe 
     General de Surveillance S.A., Geneva for nationals who are 
     also residents of Rumania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatin, 
     Moravia, Slovakia, France, Holland, and Denmark. It will be 
     soon from the attached list that the balance hold for 
     nationals who are also residents of the named countries 
     total:

Swiss Francs...............................................9,506,078.62
French Francs................................................250,000.00
Belgian Francs................................................31,282.08
Francs Gold (no further description).........................182,100.00
British Sterling............................................17,739-4-17
Canadian Dollars.................................................291.68

Slovakia Cr....................................................5,162.60
Rumania Nom. Lei...........................................1,400,000.00
Greek Drachmas...............................................500,000.00
Kuna..........................................................10,069.00

And one safety deposit box for which no value can be attributed at this 
time.

       The attached list represents certain amendments to the list 
     appended to SAFEHAVEN Report No. 4 suggested by our 
     informants, and also includes additional information in 
     regard to other balances not heretofore reported. The 
     attached list, which contains more detailed information 
     relative to the property held than the earlier one, is said 
     to be a complete list of all persons who are nationals and 
     also residents of the countries named who have balances with 
     S.G.S., except that for practical reasons later compilations 
     omit balances below Swiss francs 10,000. Furthermore, it may 
     be noted that we are advised that we now have a complete list 
     of all accounts held by S.G.S. for all persons who are 
     nationals and residents of countries which are of interest 
     except Germany.
       While we have been advised that S.G.S. holds no balances 
     for persons in Germany, this statement has been questioned on 
     the basis of an admission that advances were made to a German 
     resident of Switzerland out of funds due Mr. Siepmann, the 
     former Manager of the Hamburg Control Company which was 
     formerly affiliated with S.G.S., and it is possible that an 
     additional report will be submitted if additional information 
     is obtained at a later date.
       In SAFEHAVEN Report No. 4 it was stated that:
       ``. . . It is reliably reported that since 1941 S.G.S. also 
     has acted in a banking or fiduciary capacity by holding funds 
     representing profits realized by its Balkan customers on 
     shipments of merchandise to neutrals and to enemy territory. 
     The transactions which resulted in the accumulation of 
     profits involved over invoicing consignees, shipment of the 
     merchandise against payment in Switzerland in Swiss francs, 
     and withholding by S.G.S. of the excess payments or balances 
     . . .
       ``It is stated that the aforementioned funds and other 
     property are beneficially owned principally by Jewish persons 
     who are nationals of and residents of the abovementioned 
     countries and who were endeavoring (1) to profit from black 
     market operations in local currencies of the Balkan 
     countries; (2) to move funds out of their home countries; or 
     (3) to insure that the funds would be safe from confiscation 
     by their local authorities''.
       During the present investigation, however, a question was 
     raised as to whether or not the above statement also were 
     true for balances held for persons who are nationals and also 
     residents of France, Holland, and Denmark and in reply the 
     following memorandum dated June 18, 1945 was received:
       ``The only countries for which we hold financial accounts 
     are Romania and to a very

[[Page S3032]]

     limited extent Bulgaria. We have never transacted such 
     business for people in other countries.''
       From the foregoing it would appear that our earlier remarks 
     do not hold for nationals and residents of Hungary, Croatia, 
     Moravia, Slovakia, France, Holland, and Denmark. This 
     conclusion seems to be correct since at our request the 
     Genova Consulate discussed the memorandum of June 18, 1945, 
     further with the S.G.S. and on July 2, 1945 advised in part 
     as follows:
       The memorandum of June 18 from S.G.S. is correct. On the 
     French list all but the last two entries have been held since 
     before the war. The last two were acquired from a bank in 
     free exchange for the account of the persons mentioned. The 
     Hungarian gold (as also the French gold) was deposited with 
     the S.G.S. without its having any knowledge as to how it had 
     been acquired.''
       For your further information, we are advised by the Geneva 
     Consulate in their letter of July 2, 1945, that all dollar 
     balances are deposited in blocked accounts except one of 
     $4200 held for Maurice Moiso Rothmann, Bucharest, which is in 
     the form of currency.
       With regard to the balances held in French francs, the 
     following was reported in the Geneva Consulate's letter 
     referred to above:
       ``There is only one case involving a balance in French bank 
     notes (S.A.R. DE TRANSPORTURI EGER on the Rumanian list 
     involving 250,000 French francs) and those were declared to 
     the French Consulate here by the S.G.S.
       ``Holdings shown on the French list should supposedly be 
     declared by the owners. S.G.S. has no obligation to declare 
     anything in these cases. It is not known for sure, but the 
     presumption is that the French owners have not made any 
     declarations in order to avoid taxation.''
       This information is reported to Washington and London for 
     whatever further action may be desired.
       We should like to request again that this information be 
     regarded as extremely confidential and be so handled that it 
     will not be disclosed to Swiss or other sources. The request 
     is for the protection of our informants who appear to have 
     been very cooperative.
