"The spirit of Entebbe
was .pervasive," said
Frank R. Lautenberg,

termination, the impossi-
ble is attainable — if
leadership will lead."

Separation Case
Filed in Michigan

The Michigan Attorney
General's office has filed
suit in Hillsdale Circuit
Court against the rural,
one-school Camden-
Frontier School District
near the Michigan-Ohio-
Indiana border.
The suit seeks to halt
Bible classes being con-
ducted at the school by
the Rural Bible Mission, a
fundamentalist group, on
the grounds that the clas-
ses, conducted during
school hours, violate the
Michigan and U.S. con-
stitutions and the state
school code restrictions
under the separation-of-
church-and-state princi-
ple.
The once-per-month,
20-minute sessions are
voluntary, and the state
contends they are illegal
as long as they are held on
school property.

The mission members
were received at an Air
Force base by Chief of
Staff Gen. Mordechai
Gur. They attended a
dinner at the Jerusalem
Hilton Hotel where they
were welcomed by Yosef
Almogi, chairman of the
Jewish Agency and World
Zionist Organization
Executives. Almogi said
that Israel's leaders were
thankful for American
Jewry's support of Israel.
He stressed that the
times are difficult, there
are many more problems
that Israel must face and
therefore, "we need
more" help.
Following the dinner,
the mission visited the
Western Wall where a
ceremonial service was
conducted by the army's
chief chaplain, Gen. Mor-
dechai Piron.
They boarded planes at
Jerusalem's Atarot Air-
port for a flight to Rosh
Pina in Galilee from
where they visited the
Lebanese border and the
"good fence" where
Lebanese came for free
medical treatment on the
Israeli side. Later, the
UJA leaders visited a de-
velopment town. They re-
turned to Jerusalem for
ceremonies at the Yad
Vashem Holocaust
Memorial where they
were addressed by the
Jewish Agency's director
general Moshe Rivlin.
They also met with
Minister pf Commerce and

and Security Committee.
Premier Yitzhak Rabin
told the group that he did
not believe peace with Is-
rael's Arab neighbors
was at hand and warned
that the struggle could
last "one, two or three
generations." Addressing
a private dinner at the
Knesset, Rabin described
the Sinai interim agree-
ment signed with Egypt
just one year ago as a
small step toward peace
that has reduced the
danger of war.
He said he was pleased

such activity "does not
prevent war, at least it
adds weight on the side
