Agreement was reached among the members of the Arab League's Palestine Commission to grant visas to pilgrims to the Holy Land during the 1950 Roman Catholic Holy Year, even though the applicants had Israeli visas. It had been the policy of the commission to deny visas to persons having such visas. The commission also decided that the Arab states should continue to prevent the loading or provisioning of vessels bearing or suspected of bearing goods considered war contraband or immigrants to Israel, and recommended that an exchange blacklist be maintained of such vessels.
