Odnaleziona zaginiona, sensacyjna umowa Nr 5518 z 1960r. Dotyczy ustawy Senatu USA S.447.



Umowa dotycząca roszczeń obywateli amerykańskich w stosunku do Polski, podpisana 16 lipca 1960 roku i zarejestrowana  w ONZ w Seria Traktatów w 1961 dzień rejestracji 6 stycznia 1961 roku.


Rząd Polskiej Republiki Ludowej pragnący załatwić roszczenia Amerykańskich obywateli wobec Polski Ludowej i pragnąc polepszyć warunki gospodarczej współpracy handlowej miedzy Polską  a USA, podpisuje tą umowę.

Chodzi o mienie żydowskie obecnie amerykańskich obywateli żydowskiego pochodzenia.

w punkcie pierwszym tej umowy Rząd Polski zobowiązuje się zapłacić  Rządowi USA 40.000.000 dolarów w walucie USA , w ramach zaspokojenia wszystkich roszczeń osób fizycznych lub prawnych wobec Rządu Polskiego. Z powodu nacjonalizacji oraz innego przejęcia majątków, praw i udziałów, w tym majątków, które miały miejsce  przed lub w dniu wejścia w życie niniejszej umowy.

w punkcie b: wypłata kwoty 40.000.000 dolarów zostanie wypłacona sekretarzowi stanu USA w ratach 2.000.000 rocznie do dnia 10 stycznia następnego roku.
Przez 20 lat czyli do roku 1981.

Tym samym, tłumacząc wynik tej umowy, Rząd USA przejął schedę po wszystkich prywatnych lub firmowych  roszczeniach obywateli lub firm amerykańskich w stosunku do Polski. Czyli jeśli jakiś amerykański żyd wystąpi z roszczeniami wobec na przykład utraconej nieruchomości  w Polsce, to Polski rząd powinien spakować jego roszczenie i wysłać do USA, które przejęło efekty i konsekwencje takiego roszczenia, zgodnie z niniejszą umową. USA powinna sama rozpatrywać takie roszczenia i załatwiać je swoimi pieniędzmi, bo otrzymała na to 40 milionów dolarów od Polski. USA przejęło w ten sposób roszczenia.

W celu ochrony Polski  wobec roszczeń państw trzecich co do tych roszczeń, rząd USA przekaże kopie umów i pozwów tych państw lub osób trzecich, gdyby takie były.
ONZ zarejestrowała pod numerem 174 ta umowę jako traktat. 

W ciągu 30 dniu od czasu wejścia w życie niniejszej umowy Rząd USA zwolni kontrolę blokującą nad majątkami polskich obywateli w USA, nad całym polskim majątkiem.

Znaczy to, że elementem przymuszenia wtedy Polski do podpisania tejże umowy była blokada USA polskiego majątku!
