Senate's 'Gang of Four' Up for Re-Election

By MORRIS AMITAY

WASHINGTON —
Among the 33 incumbent
Senators whose terms ex-
pire in 1984, four stand out
for their unusually hostile
stances on issues of deep
concern to friends of Israel.
This "Gang of Four" are:
Sen. Charles Percy (R-I11.),
Sen. Jesse Helms (R-N.C.),
Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.)
and Sen. James McClure
(R-Idaho).
Percy, the 63-year-old .
chairman of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee, will be
seeking a fourth term.
Mindful of his narrow vic-
tory in 1978, Percy is al-
ready . gearing up his fund
raising efforts for 1984 and
will undoubtedly again be
seeking support from
Chicago's sizeable and
politically-active Jewish
community.
His two-year stint as
chairman has provided
Percy with a high-profile

platform to espouse his
criticism of Israel.. This was
exemplified by his 1980 trip
to the Soviet Union, where
Percy was quoted by accom-
panying State Department
officials as supporting
"Arafat's dream" of a West
Bank Palestinian state.
Previously he had refused
to sign the "Letter of '76"
which rejected the Ford
plans to "reasses" U.S. rela-
tions with Israel, despite
personal pleas by his friend
and long-time political ally,
former Sen. Jack Javits.
There are numerous
recent Percy statements
criticizing Israeli actions
and supporting U.S.
sanctions in response.
Percy has supported
both major arms sales to
Saudi Arabia but surpris-
ingly, now that re-
election is looming
closer, the Illinois Sena-
tor has begun to modify
his Middle East stance in

hope of obtaining Jewish
support which he clearly
does not deserve based
on his actions.
A strong primary chal-
lenge is expected from Rep.
Tom Corcoran, a firm friend
and initiator of the House
letter rejecting a sale of
sophisticated arms to Jor-
dan.
Helms is presently the
third ranking member of
the Foreign Relations
Committee behind Percy
and Sen. Howard Baker.
Helms' symbolic position as
leader of the far right con-
servative cause guarantees
his status of top target for
defeat by every major
Democratic and liberal
group in the country.
Washington observers
have serious questions,
however, as to which office
Helms will run for in 1984.
Many believe Helms will
opt for a run for the
Presidency, given the dif-
ficult re-election effort he
would face against Demo-
cratic Governor James
Hunt.
In terms of Israeli-
related issues, Helms has
the dubious distinction of
a nearly 100 percent
negative record since
entering the Senate in
1973. The North Caroli-
nian has consistently
voted against foreign as-
sistance for Israel and in
favor of reductions in
U.S. aid to Israel.
In character with his
stance on aid to Israel,
Helms has also supported
both the 1978 and 1981
sales of sophisticated
weaponry to Saudi Arabia.
He has been harshly critical
of Israeli actions over the
past two years, often chim-
ing in with Chairman Percy
at Foreign Relations Com-
mittee meetings.
Hatfield has served three
terms in the Senate and be-
came the chairman of the
powerful Appropriations
Committee in 1981. For 16
years, Hatfield compiled
one of the most negative
voting records relating to
Israel, and has been an out-
spoken critic — even before
it became fashionable!
Not content to vote only
against aid for Israel, Hat-
field initiated an effort in
1979 to punish Israel by cut-
ting U.S. military assis-
tance by 10 percent. His
amendment was defeated
by the full Senate, 78-7.
More recently, the senior
Senator from Oregon lead
the Reagan Administra-
tion's attempt to deny Israel
a 1983 aid increase. Again,
Hatfield could not line up
enough support and he sub-
sequently gave up his effort.
Washington analysts
believe Hatfield is lean-
ing toward a 1984 retire-
ment, based partly in
ideological differences
with conservative Re-
agan policies. Said to be
waiting in the wings is
former Mayor of Port-
land and Secretary of
Transportation in the
Carter Administration,
Democrat Neil

Goldschmidt, who is
Jewish.
McClure is a 10-year Se-
nate veteran after serving
three terms in the House.
He is the chairman of the
Energy and Natural Re-
sources Committee and
ranks fourth on the Appro-
priations Committee. He
was easily re-elected in
1978 with 68 percent of the
vote and is not considered to
be particularly vulnerable
in 1984.
McClure can match
Helms in terms of his anti-
Israel voting record. Actu-
ally he has had only two
supportive votes in the past
10 years, in favor of the
1977 Export Administra-
tion Act (anti-boycott pro-
visions), and in favor of the
1979 Supplemental Appro-
priations for the Camp
David Accords.
McClure has voted twice
for cuts in aid to Israel sup-
porting the Hatfield and
Stevenson amendments.
These four races are
among those that will be of
particular interest in the-
months ahead.
