Presidents Conference: Mexico Relations Should be Normal
(Continued from Page 1)
It is our recommendation
that our relations be fully
normalized."
Rabbi Alexander M.
Schindler, chairman of the
Presidents Conference,
added, "It is significant that
the vote of the committee
was unanimous. I will for-
ward the report to all our
member organizations ena-

Meanwhile, Judge Paul
Ribner, national com-
mander of the Jewish War
Veterans of the U.S., stated:
"At its meeting in No-
vember 1975, the national
executive committee of the
Jewish War Veterans, re-
quested its members to
discontinue travel to all
countries which voted in
favor of the anti-Zionist
resolution at the United
Nations."
A JWV staff member
joined the delegation of
American Jewish leaders
last December who accepted
the invitation of Mexican
President Luis E. Echever-
ria Alvarez to visit him 'in
Mexico City. While the re-
ports from these discussions
suggested that the Mexican
government was prepared to
alter its policy regarding
Zionism, the subsequent
vote at the UN and the ac-
companying statement ex-
plaining the vote by the
Mexican delegation revealed
no substantive change. Un-
der these circumstances, the
Jewish War Veterans will-
continue its policy with re-
gard to travel to Mexico."
