(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

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

government was prepared to

plaining the vote by the
Mexican delegation revealed
no substantive change. Un-

Jewish War Veterans will-
continue its policy with re-
