The Holocaust Insurance Accountability Act Of 2010: Hearing Before The United States House Of Representatives, Committee On The Judiciary, Subcommittee On Commercial And Administrative Law. 111th Congress, 2nd Session, Michael P. Van Alstine
Michael P. Van Alstine
The testimony explores the essential legal issue of the extent to which executive agreements related to H.R. 4596 have any force as law in the United States.
