NEW YORK (JTA) —
Only 20 percent of the more
than 50,000 participants in
"Great Decisions 1980,"
sponsored by the Foreign
Policy Association, in-
dicated they wanted the
United States to press Israel
"for enough- concessions on

comprehensive
about
negotiations between Israel
and its neighbors," includ-
ing Jordan, Syria and
Lebanon as well as Egypt,
the FPA reported last week.
Described as "the
nationwide foreign policy
discussion program con-
ducted" by the FPA, the
association declared that
the more than 50,000 bal-
lots received since the May
1 deadline was "the highest
number of ballots received
since the nationwide an-
nual opinion ballot was in-
stituted in 1976." Eight
areas of foreign policy, each
with a variety of opinions,
were listed in the 1980 bal-
lot, one being "the Mideast
and the Gulf."
The FPA reported that "a
clear majority, 56 percent,
favored a policy of working
with both Egypt and Israel
toward an agreed formula
on Palestinian rights, press-
ing both sides when neces-
sary to promote agree-
ment." The FPA reported
that 19 percent "favored let-
ting Egypt and Israel work

their own pace." Two per-
cent wrote in opinions, the
content of which the report
did not disclose, and three
percent selected more than
one option, the FPA re-
ported in its special ballot
issue.
The FPA report de-
clared that "the more as-
sertive foreign policy
mood of most partici-
pants was visible with re-
spect to the most volatile
of recent foreign policy
areas, the Persian Gulf."
On a ballot listing three
options, 41 percent pre-
ferred to see the United
States play a more sig-
nificant role than
hitherto in maintaining
the region's security and
favored increasing U.S.
military capabilities for
this purpose." Only 24
percent would accept the
building up of military
capabilities of friendly
powers in the region and
only 18 percent would
have the United States
limit its commitments in
the region to the present
level."
On an issue of special con-
cern to Israel and its
friends, who fear United
States pressure on Israel to
win favor with the Arab oil
producing nations, and
given the likelihood that "in
the short run" the United
States will "continue to be
dependent on OPEC for at
least some of its supplies,"
the FPA asked participants
to choose among several op-
tions.
A majority of respon-
dents, 57 percent, chose "the
middle alternative" which
was to "make no concession
but rely on economic and
political pressure," while 28
percent chose to make con-
cessions and six percent
"opted for military action, if
necessary."
Rabbis' Leader
Is Critical of
Intermarrieds
MIAMI BEACH, Fla.
(JTA) — The newly-elected
head of the Rabbinical
Council of America declared
that "intermarriage repre-
sents a silent spiritual
Holocaust," which is taking
a heavy toll of the entire
American Jewish commu-
nity and is jeopardizing its
very survival.
Rabbi Sol Roth, Atlantic
Beach, N.Y., the newly-
elected president of the
organization of Orthodox
rabbis, made those remarks
in his official acceptance
address before several
hundred delegates at the
44th annual convention of
the Rabbinical Council.
Rabbi Roth called for "the
elimination from leadership
roles in Jewish public life of
all those who marry out of
their faith, and rabbis who
perform marriages between
Jews and non-Jews. The
time has come for drastic
steps to stem this suicidal
tide which represents a
self-inflicted Holocaust and
offers Hitler the possibility
of a posthumous victory."
Holocaust Compensation
to Ignore Jewish Victims
The decision to call for a
new foundation was sup-
ported by the Social Demo-
cratic Party-Liberal Coali-
tion. The opposition Chris-
tian Democratic Union
abstained. One CDU
member, Franz-Heinrich
Krey observed that the plan
failed to honor a decision in
December, 1979 by all three
factions to link the final
round of reparations pay-
ments to Nazi victims with
the financial claims of Nazi
civil servants of the Hitler
Era for pensions and other
back payments. The Social
Democrats and Jewish
organizations have at-
tacked the linkage for
equating "the fate of the vic-
tims and their oppressors."
_ BONN (JTA) — Jews are
not expected to be among
the beneficiaries of a 150
million mark (approx-
imately $83 million) special
foundation the Bundestag
will ask the government to
create to compensate "hard
core" cases of Nazi victims
who have received no repa-
rations under previous laws
and agreements.
According to financial
sources, the monies will go
primarily to German Gyp-
sies and victims who im-
migrated into West Ger-
many from Eastern Europe
after 1969, the cut-off date
for claiming reparations.
Jewish claims still pend-
ing will be paid through the
New York-based Confer-
ence on Jewish Material
Claims Against Germany
which is expected to receive
a total of 440 million marks
(approximately $244 mil-
lion) from the Federal Re-
public over the next several
years in a "final financial
gesture" toward Jewish
Holocaust victims. The
Bundestag has earmarked
50 million marks (approx-
imately $28 million) in its
current budget for that pur-
pose.
