Levin listed Adminis- tration policies that have hurt Israel during recent years, including: selling AWACS and F-15 enhancement equipment to Saudi Arabia, under- mining Camp David by dictating the final status of the West Bank, shelv- ing the strategic coopera- tion agreement, refusing U.S.-Israel liaisons in Lebanon, and delaying the sale of F-16s to Israel. He said that we must seek support for Israel and for Jewry in the Soviet Union, Ethiopia and Argentina, as well as other oppressed peoples around the world. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) told United Israel Appeal trustees on Monday that there is no conflict be- tween being a good Jew and supporting what he believes is in the interest of the U.S. "What's good for Israel is good for the United States," Lautenberg said. "I wish we had more allies like Israel in Central America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia. Lautenberg urged his fellow Jews to "stand up for what you believe, be a good Jew."

He revealed that before he entered the campaign for the Senate last year, he was told that a Jew could never win state-wide office in New Jersey. But he said throughout his campaign, which resulted in his upset victory over former Repub- lican Rep. Millicent Fen- wick, there was "not one reference to me as a Jew." Lautenberg, a former na- tional chairman of. the United Jewish Appeal who has resigned from the UIA board of directors, admitted that he misses not being able to be closely involved in Jewish organizations any more. He noted that he went to Israel 60 times in 10 years but has not been able to go there in the last two. Jerold Hoffberger, the outgoing UIA chairman, who had served for fivd years, stressed that a major goal should be to bring Jews who have separated them- selves from Jewish organ- izations and institutions, back into the community. "No one can be left out," he said, noting that "our cadre is too small." Hoffberger said the two major goals of educa- tion and aliya are tied to- gether. He said that with- out greater effort in all aspects of Jewish educa- tion, action for aliya will not be successful. Former Detroiter Irwin Field of Los Angeles, a former national chairman and president of the UJA, was elected the new chair- man of UIA.
