B. Ordynka St. 41/24, bld.3 Moscow, Russia

Dear Moshe,

It was a real pleasure meeting you and being with you during the WJC Governing Board in Jerusalem.

It is good to know that the European Jewish Congress is moving forward progressively and with great energy. I note also that the EJC will shortly be revising its constitution in order to gain greater stability and transparency.

Equally importantly, our organizations are now working together in a spirit of harmony and cooperation. I am closely following your important initiatives for the 70 ^th anniversary commemoration event of the Kristallnacht, and wish you every success in this regard.

I look forward to continuing to work together with you on the many issues of common concern on our agenda.

Sincerely yours,
Ronald S. Lauder
