Final installment in Czechoslovakian gold dispute eyed
The essay reviews 33 years of stalled negotiations over nearly 9 tons of Czechoslovakian gold held by the United States. It cites 1948 expropriations, 1958 claims value of $113.64 million, and a 1980 Moynihan proposal to settle within 60 days or sell the gold, with proceeds paid to claimants and invested until all claims and Helsinki Agreements are satisfied. It proposes adding inflation adjustments, time, and labors costs, plus earmarking yields for Radio Free Europe and a Georgetown chair.
