He only wants to talk about one or two things. And he also wants to know why he is being rewarded. Giving someone a check because he voted cor- rectly on a dozen issues is too fuzzy." Putting Israel ahead of other issues has produced some pecul- iar political bedfellows. In 1984, for instance, pro-Israel PACs gave over $14,000 to Republican Mark Siljander. Siljander's two congressional campaigns have also been enthusiastically backed by Christian fundamen- talists. Last year, Siljander endorsed a challenger to fellow Michigan representative, How- ard Wolpe, a Democrat and a Jew, by claiming the United States needed a "more Christian Congress." Jewish PAC money has also gone to Senators Peter Domenici (R-N.M.), Robert Packwood (R- Or.), William Roth (R-Del.) and Rep. Jack Kemp (R-N.Y.), all with the sort of conservative voting records that would make traditionally liberal Jews blanch. From this overriding concern of Jewish PACs with Israel also comes a determined biparti- sanship. But while pro-Israel PACs say that party affiliation has little influence on who gets their money, the bulk of it goes to Democrats. Last year, for example, Democrats received 77 percent of the contributions from the three largest pro-Israel PACs. Of these three PACs, the Joint Action Committee for Political Affairs (JACPAC) gave the smallest share — nine per- cent — of its campaign funds to GOP candidates. This meager sum — barely $11,000 — stems from JACPAC's refusal to back candidates who accept money from radical right political organizations which, according to a JACPAC brochure, threaten "America's tradition of pluralism." JACPAC's ban on bankrolling campaigns that accept right- wing money makes the organ- ization somewhat of a maverick among pro-Israel PACs. But it also gives many JACPAC's members a clean conscience. Said Joan Dine former head of JAPAC's Washington, D.C., chapter and wife of AIPAC di- rector Tom Dine, "The radical right has a lack of feeling for minority rights. JACPAC lets me keep my integrity." Since politics is an art, not a science, it is difficult to gauge a PAC's effectiveness. Many fac- tors determine whether someone will'be elected, how he will vote if he is and which interest groups he will allow to bend his ear in the privacy of his Capitol Hill office. But one way to measure PAC's success is whether it backs winning candidates. On that score, Jewish PACs do quite well. In 1982, for example, 76 percent of the candidates supported by JACPAC won. In 1984, almost 94 percent of the Friday, November 1, 1985 3546260 - 294-4052 ry Ff ,:am 4 irod' ' irp.pacitro ri t For those who want the finest custom furniture at...
