Washington —President
Reagan' has pledged to "op-
pose any agenda which
associates Zionism with ra-
cism" at the United Nations
. Conference on Women to be'
held in Nairobi, Kenya,
next year the World Jewish
Congress (WJC) reported.
In a White House meeting
with WJC President Edgar
M: Bronfman and a delega-
tion of leaders from Jewish
women's organizations
throughout the United
States, the President said
that "the U.S. will have no
choice but to seriously con-
sider canceling its partici-
pation In the conference" if
such links were found.
. The 1985 Nairobi confer-
ence will be the culmination
of the UN Decade for
Women. Two previous UN
sponsored conferences on
that topic, in Mexico City in
1975 and in Copenhagen in
1980, proved to be platforms
for the vilification of Israel,
according to the WJC.
Barbara
Mandel,
president of the National
Council of Jewish Women
and one of the women who
attended the White House
meeting, praised the
President for his stance on
the issue. "It is crucial that
the Nairobi conference con-
centrate its total efforts on
securing universal women's
rights and we share your in-
sistance that this confer-
ence be held free of the viru-
lent anti-Semitic, anti-
Western and anti-Israel ac-
tivities which pervaded the
mid-decade conference in
Copenhagen," Mandel
wrote the President in a let-
ter following the meeting.
