SECURITIES THROUGH MARINER FINANCIAL Washington (JTA) — Two leaders of the National Confer- ence on Soviet Jewry said last week that they were "confident" that President Reagan will deal with the issue of Soviet Jewry when he meets with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in Geneva Tuesday and stressed that it was up to Reagan to de- cide how he does it. Gerald Kraft, an NCSJ vice president and president of B'nai B'rith International, and Jerry Goodman, the NCSJ's executive director, said that they have re- ceived both public and private pledges from Reagan and Secre- tary of State George Shultz that the issue will be dealt with "seriously," Kraft noted that the President personally considers the issue important. "We look to the President and his Administration as the ones who will carry the message in whatever means the President thinks as best," Goodman said. "He is essentially in this regard our messenger." Reagan, in an interview with wire service reporters last Wed- nesday, said that human rights will be discussed at the Geneva summit. "But I don't think that it is profitable to put things of this kind out in public where any change in policy would be viewed as succumbing to an- other power," the President said. "This is a tactic which we understand and which we ap- prove of and we know it has worked in the past in negotia- tions with the Soviets," Kraft said. However, Kraft noted that there has been little pre-summit attention to human rights in the media partially because the President wants to make "headway instead of headlines" and because he said some in the media do not want to ask tough questions of the Soviets for fear of losing access to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials at the summit. For this reason, Kraft said the Jewish community in the United States and abroad, sup- ported by many non-Jews, as seeking to bring the issue of Soviet Jewry to public attention both to support Reagan's efforts and to let Gorbachev know of the concern of world public opin- ion. A series of educational pro- grams in the U.S. and abroad and numerous demonstrations are planned throughout the U.S. A rally in Lafayette Park Sun- day will include a march past the White House to the Soviet Embassy. Meanwhile, New York Ar- chbishop John Cardinal O'Con- nor has written a letter to all parish priests of the Archdiocese of New York urging them to light a candle for Soviet Jews on the eve of the Reagan- Gorbachev summit. Senate Prohibits PLO Contributions Through UN Washington (JTA) — The Se- nate by a 90-2 vote last week prohibited any voluntary contri- butions by the United States to the United Nations from being used for programs for the Pales- tine Liberation Organization. The prohibition was in the form of an amendment intro- duced by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) to the appropriations bill for the Commerce, Justice and State Departments. The PLO "is committed, on paper and in practice, to the de- struction of one of our closest al- lies, Israel," Lautenberg told the Senate last Friday. And terror is its chosen means of achieving its goals. Recent events only confirm this conclusion." Lautenberg noted that for the past several years foreign aid bills have prohibited the use of U.S. voluntary contributions to the UN. Since 1980, the State Department authorization bill reduces the U.S. assessed con- tribution to the UN budget by the amount that would be used for projects that benefit the PLO, about $1 million. Lautenberg stressed that his amendment reaffirms this policy in the appropriation bill since "the appropriations process is the final arbiter of how this country actually spends its money." Sens. Barry Goldwater (R- Ariz.) and Charles Mathias (R-Mol.) in voting against the amendment did not give any reasons. The Reagan Administration meanwhile, is maintaining a cautious, non-committal position toward PLO chief Yasir Arafat's professed opposition to terrorism against innocent civilians. Arafat said in Cairo last Thursday that he condemned terrorism against innocent civi- lians anywhere. At the same time, he said, Palestinians re- serve the right "to fight against the Israeli occupation in all possible ways, with the aim of the withdrawal of the Israelis from these (Israel-occupied) lands." The immediate U.S. reaction came from State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb. "We consistently have supported ef- forts to eradicate the course of terrorism in the middle East and elsewhere. We applaud the efforts that King Hussein and President Mubarak have ex- tended in recent weeks to re- move violence from the Middle East equation," he said.
