Lobbying for Reagan NEW YORK (JTA) — The American Jewish Con- gress on Wednesday said it was satisfied with agree- ments it reached with nine leading U.S.-based corpora- tions that shareholders would be informed of the ex- tent of the corporations' lobbying efforts on behalf of the 1981 AWACS arms package sale to Saudi Arabia and that a number of these corporations would no longer engage in lobbying activity on behalf of U.S. Middle East policy in the fu- ture. AJCongress President Howard Squadron, in mak- ing the announcement, also disclosed that one of the 23 corporations targeted in an AJCongress project to re- veal the extent of corporate lobbying for Mideast policy, was solicited directly by telephone by officials in the White House to lobby Se- nate members for approval of the arms sale. Congress approved the arms package in November 1981. According to William Maslow, general counsel of the AJCongress and coor- dinator of the project, the Dallas-based Halliburton Corp., which he claimed has no direct interests in the Middle East, was persuaded by the Administration to involve themselves in lob- bying efforts "because they were led to believe that ap- peasing the Saudis on the sale was critical to the U.S. economic and political policies." He added that this perception "was wrong both on economic and political grounds." The project, an- nounced in December, operates_ through share- holders' resolutions submitted by AJCon- gress members who own stock in the targeted cor- porations requesting that management report on the nature and cost of the lobbying efforts and seeking agreement "that they will not in the future spend corporate funds for efforts of this kind." A corporation receiving a resolution from a share- holder is required to include the text in the proxy state- ment it distributes to its shareholders in advance of Purim By MADOLYN ROSENTHAL Purim, a happy holiday is here And childhood memories make it very dear.

The delegates, represent- ing Reform and Liberal synagogues in 25 countries, will address four major is- sues: • A report by a 35- member commission on the attitudes and relationships of their communities to Is- rael; • An analysis and evaluation of anti- Semitism and the status of Jewish security in the 25 countries represented in the WUPJ; • A report on the status of the Reform movement in Is- rael; • An address on the con- ference theme — "Diversity, Within Unity" — given by Rabbi Herman Schaalman, president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. There is nothing in the universe that I fear, but that I shall not know all my duty, or shall fail to do it. —Mary Lyon
