Hollings Explains Metzenbaum
Incident; Denies Charge of Bias

U.S. Senator Ernest Hol-
lings (D-S.C.) vehemently
denies harboring prej-
udices. He especially re-
futes the accusation that he

has ever entertained anti-
Semitic ideas.

To All Our Friends & Customers

school prayer bill is traced
in a letter to Bill Graham of
West Bloomfield. Graham
had written criticizing him
for his reference to Metzen-
baum during the debate as
the "Senator from Bnai
Brith." Senator Hollings'
letter to Graham follows:
"Obviously one would not
refer to another person out
of the clear as the 'Jewish
Voice.' This would be offen-
sive and unforgivable.
You must understand
that the parties were
friends and the circum-
stances were otherwise
than you read. We were in
a heated debate over
school prayer which, in-
cidentally, is the best rea-
son that politics should
not get mixed in with
religion. One side was ac-
cusing the other of
hypocrisy in that the Se-
nate itself begins each
daily session with a vol-
untary prayer, yet some
Senators who counte-
nance this will not
countenance a voluntary
prayer in the public
school.
"The other side was ac-
cusing those supporting the
amendment of doing so in
violation of their oath to ,
support the Constitution.
"The Senator from North
Carolina was being cross-
examined on the Catholic
`Hail Mary' Prayer, and I
was trying to introduce
some levity to cool the at-
mosphere. The Senator
from North Carolina was re-
ferred to as the Baptist
Voice, the Senator from
Missouri (himself a minis-
ter) was referred to as the
Episcopal Voice, and the
Senator from Maine, for-
merly a federal judge, was
referred to as Judge Mitch-
ell.
"No one took offense, and
this was the atmosphere
prevailing when I turned to
my friend Howard Metzen-
baum and stated, "The
questioning will now be
done by the Senator from
Bnai Brith.' He took excep-
tion to being referred to as
the Jewish Voice, and I im-
mediately apologized.
"I have known Howard
Metzenbaum for a long
time. I have been a spon-
sor of his fund-raising re-
ceptions for re-election.
The last thing I would do
would be to hurt his feel-
ings. There was no malice
or intent to hurt in my
reference to him, and I
was mistaken when I
thought he would take it
in the spirit I had in mind.
"I have participated in
ceremonies at Bnai Brith
and I have the highest re-
gard for the Jewish faith.
Other than sincerely re-
gretting my mistake, I can
only refer you to the Jewish
community of my
hometown of Charleston
which knows me better than
these inflammatory news
articles."
