Report: Water Rights Could Be Problem in Middle East

political arrangements un-

according to a recent report
issued by the American
Jewish Committee.
The situation is so acute,
the report maintains, that
delay will only exacerbate

formed in New York.
The committee is geared
toward "authentic Judaism
which is based on the Torah,
Talmud and code of Jewish
law and will now have an
impact on the issues affect-

to Rabbi Marvin Friedman,
chairman of the group.
The Jewish Moral Corn-

parochial schools. It is
against abortions, the
Equal Rights Ammend-

PLO.
