See, for instance, the statement of Valentin Kopteltsev, head of the Russian
delegation to the 1998 Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets: "The law
provides that claims ... could be submitted only within the 18-month period
beginning from April 21, 1998. Since the work in the archives as well as
attribution of the retrieved works of art is difficult and time-consuming the
Russian Government will be ready to discuss these issues even after the
expiration of the above period." In J. D. Bindenagel (ed.),
Proceedings, Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets
(Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of State, 1999), 319.
