With Election Day 1986 only
months away, Israel's supporters
in Washington are watching a
number of key Senate races
closely.
Several of Israel's most impor-
tant and loyal friends in the Se-
nate look quite safe for re-
election at this point: they in-
clude the charismatic Chris
Dodd, Democrat of Connecticut
and a key Foreign Relations
Committee member; the veteran
Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, ranking
Democrat on the vital Foreign
Operations Appropriations Sub-
committee; the popular Alan Di-
xon, Democrat of Illinois and the
feisty and effective Al D'Amato,
Republican of New York.
A number of other key incum-
bents, however, face greater un-
certainty as to their - re-election
prospects. In this category we

of Republican opponents, but
California hag a reputation for
political surprises..
On the Republican side of the ,
aisle, three priority races deserve
attention. Bob Packwood of Ore-
gon, an outstanding and outspo-
ken leader on all Israel-related
issues, is seeking his fourth Se-
nate term and faces primary or--_<
position from an extreme right-
wing Baptist minister. Once thi ,-./
hurdle is overcome, Packwood \
will still face a Democratic chal-
lenge.
Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania,
a member of the Foreign Opera-
tions Appropriations Subcommii,
tee (which determines economic
and military aid levels for Israt.-:=` , /
will fortunately not be chal-
lenged by the current governor.
He will, however, face either one
of two formidable opponents next
November. Specter, who is
Jewish, is completing his first
term and has been most active on
issues of concern.
Another first-termer who may
face a tough fight is Robert Kas-
ten of Wisconsin.
