WASHINGTON (JTA) —
Last week's Senatorial pri-
mary elections in New York
and Florida cast a long
shadow over the probably
complexion of the Senate
Foreign Relations Commit-
tee when the new Congress
organizes next January.
In New York, the Repub-
licans denied nomination to
Jacob Javits, their ranking
member on that all-
important committee which
has strong influence on U.S.
foreign policy and on who-
ever is President.
Instead of the liberal
Javits, with a record of 24
years in the Senate and a
specialist in foreign affairs,
the Republicans, in a stun-
ning upset, gave their

nomination to a conserva-
tive, Alfonse D'Amato, the
43-year-old presiding
supervisor of the town of
Hempstead in Long Island.
D'Amato also has the
nomination of the Con-
servative and Right to
Life Parties, thus being
assured of three lines on
the ballot.
The Democrats in New
York nomiated 38-year-old,
three-term Congresswoman
Elizabeth Holtzman. She
upset three opponents, in-
cluding Bess Myerson, the
first Jewish Miss America,
who was favored by New
York's major Democratic
powers, and former New
York City Mayor John
Lindsay.

Reagan Israel Support Firm
Jewish Leaders Are Told

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
The Conference of
Presidents of Major Jewish
Organizations coicluded its
series of discussions with
the three principal
Presidential candidates late
Monday with an hour-long
session with Republican
nominee Ronald Reagan
who again gave his reassur-
ances of political, military
and economic support for Is-
rael.
According to key Confer-
ence members, Reagan reit-
erated his backing of Israeli
sovereignty over "undi-
vided Jerusalem" while
volunteering once more
that the idea of a Vatican-
like form for its holy places
"open to all people" was "in-
teresting."
He made a similar state-
ment last June 13 in an ad-
dress to the American
Jewish Press Association
convention here. It was re-
called that when Henry
Kissinger was Secretary of
State, he also was reported
interested in the idea.
Howard Squadron,
chairman of the
Presidents Conference,
said at a press conference
after the session with Re-
agan the Sheraton
Carlton Hotel that the
Conference is not making
any endorsements of
candidates. He had made
the same statement after
meeting with President
Carter at the White
House last week.
Key Conference members
said they were impressed

with Reagan's knowledge
and fluency on Arab-Israeli
matters. "He answered all
questions well except one,"
according to one member
who asked not to be ,iden-
tified. "He didn't know the
anti-Arab boycott law and
all he would say is that he is
against boycotts," the
members said.
At the meeting, Reagan
reiterated portions of the
statement he made to the
Bnai Brith convention in
Washington on Sept. 3,
which was virtually all de-
voted to support of Israel
and criticism of Carter Ad-
ministration policies.
Reagan made reference in
the discussion of Jerusalem
to the Vatican-like idea "as
one way to look at East
Jerusalem," while pointing
out that it was "a matter
that had to be settled by
negotiations."
conferenc
One
member quoted Reaga,
as saying:-"If I were to
make a major issue of
Jerusalem it would com-
plicate a settlement." The
same source said that
Reagan declared, "I be-
lieve Israeli sovereignty
over Jerusalem is jus-
tified."
Reagan reiterated that he
thought Jordan is a "proper
partner" in negotiations
with Israel for a settlement.
He also hailed Israel as a
"strong ally" and said that
U.S. officials "should stand
up not only for Israel when
it is unjustly attacked but
for this country as well."
