Stronger Boycott Laws Predicted
at ADL's Meetings in New York
NEW YORK, Nov. 15
(JTA) — Rep. Benjamin S.
Rosenthal (D-NY) pre-
dicted Sunday that the
new Congress convening
in January will promptly
pass strong legislation to
outlaw compliance with
the Arab boycott of Israel
and American business.
Addressing 300 leaders
of the Anti-Defamation
League of Bnai Brith at-
tending the agency's 63rd
annual meeting at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
Rosenthal said "The deep
national concerns which
earlier this year led the
House and the Senate
overwhelmingly to pass
strong anti boycott legis-
lation are even stronger
as a new Congress and
President prepare to take
office."
He warned, however,
that the American public
"does not yet understand
fully the implications of
boycott compliance, and
the Arabs and their allies
in the U.S. business com-
munity will continue
doing all in their power to
perpetuate this situa-
tion."
In a report at the same
session, Arnold Forster,
the ADL's general counsel
and associate director,
said that the. American
banking industry's "recal-
citrance" in ending its role
as "major enforcer" of
Arab boycott regulations

has been cracked by the
recent actions of several
major banks.
He cited announce-
ments by one of the
world's largest banks,
Bank of America, and by
United Bank of Califor-
nia, Provident National
Bank and Continental
Bank of Philadelphia, and
Sterling National Bank of
New York that they will
not, or will no longer,
handle boycott-tainted
letters of credit.
Forster said that a new
ADL banking survey,
currently being com-
pleted, has at the top of
the list of banks which
continue to honor such
letters of credit, Chase
Manhattan, Citibank,
Chemical. and Irving
Trust. The rest will be re-
vealed, he added, upon
completion of the survey.
Rosenthal described
the Treasury Depart-
ment's proposed
guidelines implementing
the Ribicoff Amendment
to the Tax Reform Act of
1976 (which denies cer-
tain tax benefits to com-
panies complying with
the boycott) as so limited
as to be "virtually use-
less."
He explained that the
guidelines would discour-
age only formal agree-
ments to avoid trading
with Israel or blacklisted
U.S. firms, thus having the
effect of condoning infor-
mal or unilateral actions to
refrain from doing busi-
ness with Arab boycott
targets. Moreover, he de-
clared, no penalties would
be imposed upon com-
panies which furnish in-
formation needed by the
Arabs to perpetrate the
boycott.
Rosenthal and Rep.
Jonathan B. Bingham
(D-N.Y.) were awarded
Distinguished Public
Service Awards by the
ADL for their "legislative
leadership . . . and de-
termined efforts to
safeguard all segments of
the American community
against the discriminat-
ory, social and economic
dictates of foreign pow-
ers."
At an earlier session,
S.O. Shapiro, a member of
the ADL's national corn-
mission and co-chairmen
of its communicati
committee, was p _-
sented with the Lee
Schooler Memorial
Award for "creatively
and effectively com-
municating the values of
intergroup relations."
Schooler, until his death
last year, was chairman
of the Public Relations
Board, one of the nation's
largest public relations
counseling firms, and a
long-time ADL leader.
. Burton M. Joseph of
Minneapolis, was elected
national chairman of the
ADL, succeeding
Graubard, who completed
his six-year term of office.
He was installed Wed-
nesday at a dinner in
Jerusalem at which Pre-
mier Yitzhak Rabin was
the principal speaker.

Agnew Hits Laws
NEW YORK — Former
Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew was quoted in the
English-language Jordan
Times last week as saying
that American laws to
counteract the Arab
boycott of Israel were not
in the interests of
America.
He also called Israel a
"liability to the United
States," said that
"American Zionists make
it very uncomfortable for
a person to criticize Is-
rael," and claimed that
pro-Arab material is sup-
pressed in the American
news media in favor of
pro-Israel material.

NEW YORK — The
Anti-Defamation League
of Bnai Brith presented
its America's Democratic
Legacy Award to Saul
Bellow, winner of the
1976 Nobel Prize for Lit-
erature.
Bellow is the 23rd reci-
pient of the award, estab-
lished by ADL in 1947 "for
distinguished contribu-
tions to America's democ-
ratic heritage," and is the
first, "Man of Letters" so
honored.
In making the presen-
tation to Bellow,
Seymour Graubard, hon-
orary national chairman
of the League, said that
Bellow "has correctly re-
jected all efforts to
pigeonhole him as a
`Jewish writer.' Rather,
he has simply found in the
Jewish experience those
common strains of hu-
manity that are part of all
of us — and therein lies
his greatness as an
American writer."
(In Detroit Tuesday,
author Charles Madison,
speaking at Jewish Com-
munity Center Book Fair,
said that the honors Bel-
low received "crowned
the achievement of
Jewish writers in this
country and you can
realize how much Jews
contributed to this cul-
ture.")
Bellow has just ac-
cepted an assignment
visiting professor
Brandeis University.
UNDOF Extension
OK by Syria Seen
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Syria will extend the
mandate of the United
Nations Disengagement
Observer Force (UNDOF)
on the Golan Heights ac-
cordingo to political
sources in Jerusalem.
The assumption here is
that Syria is interested
more than ever in a quiet
border with Israel be-
cause she thinned out her
forces to deploy them in
Lebanon and along the
unstable frontier with
Iraq. The UNDOF man-
date expires at the end of
November.
