Shultz Looking at Post-Lebanon Middle East
By MORRIS J. AMITAY
WASHINGTON — Even
before the PLO evacuation
of Beirut was agreed upon,
Secretary of State Shultz
was making private sound-
ings on Capitol Hill as to
where U.S. Middle East pol-
icy should go next.
The Senators and Repre-
sentatives who participated
were all impressed by what
a good listener Shultz was
— and felt he was seeking to
determine a common
ground. Shultz prefaced all
of his own remarks with an
acknowledgement of the
need to preserve Israel's se-
curity.
Whether this current
cautious approach will re-
sult in decisions based on
closer cooperation with Is-
rael — or putting the screws
on her in negotiations over
the West Bank — will be-
come known in the next few
weeks. But looking at the
cast of characters advising
the President on the Middle
East, there is scant reason
for optimism, even though
the identity of interest be-
tween the two countries
provides a solid basis for a
close relationship.

With so much attention
being focused on Yasir
Arafat recently, the most
definitive biography still
remains a 1975 volume by
British author Thomas
Kiernan (Abacus Press).
Detailed interviews with
family, friends and ad-
illuminate
versaries
childhood,
Arafat's
adolescence and rise to
notoriety.
Interestingly, but not
surprisingly, most of his
emotional and ideological
conflicts were with fellow
Arabs.
" Among the revelations
provided by Kiernan is con-
firmation — sometimes in
gruesome detail — of
rumors which have been
circulating among PLO-
watchers as to Arafat's per-
sOnal life and preferences. If
one isn't turned away by the
subject matter — and a copy
can be found — the book of-
fers a profile of the foe Israel
has had to confront for the
past 15 years.
The November Congres-
sional elections have pro-
duced a bumper crop of
Jewish candidates. Joining
the 25 Jewish members of
the House of Representa-
tives running for re-election
this year are 23 Jewish
challengers for House seats.
On the Senate side,
there is a much greater
proportion of involve-
ment where nine of the 33
Senate races have a
Jewish candidate either
as an incumbent (two of
the six Jewish Senators
are up for re-election) or
as a challenger (seven).
The two incumbents are
Howard Metzenbaum
(D-Ohio) and Ed Zorinsky
(D-Nebraska).
In Delaware, Democratic
challenger David Levinson
will face Senator William
Roth.
In Missouri, Democrat
Harriet Woods will chal-
lenge Senator, John Dan-
forth.
In Nevada, Republican
Chic Hecht is running in the
GOP primary for nomina-
tion to face the winner of the
Democratic primary.
In New Jersey, Democrat
Frank Lautenberg will face
Rep. Millicent Fenwick.
In New York, Muriel
Seibert is running in the
GOP primary for nomi-
nation to face Sen. Daniel
P. Moynihan.
In Pennsylvania, Demo-
crat Cyril Wecht will face
Sen. John Heinz.
In Rhode Island, Demo-
crat Julius Michaelson will
face Sen. John Chafee.
In the unlikely possibility
all seven are elected, it
would mean the U.S. Senate
would have more than a mi-
nyan!

When the last thing the
American Jewish commu-
nity needed was another
Jewish organization — one
has emerged here in Wash-
ington with a specialized
and vital function — the
Jewish Institute for Na-
tional Security Affairs.
JINSA, which was es-
tablished in 1976, has a
two-fold purpose. It
seeks to inform the
Jewish Baseball Quiz
By YITZHAK BEN-CHONE
Jewish community of the
necessity of the U.S na-
tional defense effort, and
to demonstrate to Ameri-
can defense planners
that Israel is of strategic
importance to the U.S.
In seeking to fulfill these
worthwhile goals, JINSA
deals directly with top Pen-
tagon officials — and par-
ticularly those in the uni-
formed services whose
careers are not subject to
political changes.
• The U.S. Defense estab-
lishment is a crucial target
for JINSA-sponsored publi-
cations and discussion
meetings — as is the Jewish
community which benefits
by more education on tech-
nical military programs af-
fecting both Israel and the
U.S. To further this, JINSA,
with its 8,000 members, has
applied for membership in
the
Conference
of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations.
