phone with his daughter who
was immediately flown to
Lexington after the sentenc-
ing. He expressed his deep con-
cern that her return to prison
could " kill her". He said that
the five-year sentence imposed
by the judge "was really a
death sentence," given her
"frail health."

Pollard and his wife are not
allowed to see each other.
Their only form of communi-
cation will be through the
mail. Both can occasionally
make outgoing telephone
calls from prison but only
"collect?' The catch, however,
is that neither can accept
"collect" calls from the other.
Despite reports to the con-
trary, Henderson said that he
and Dr. Pollard have not yet
received any financial con-
tributions to help pay for the
expenses for their children's
legal defense. Their combined
legal bills are said to have
reached some $200,000.
"Morris established a bank
account for $25 hoping to
receive some help," Hender-
son said. "The last time we
checked it has $24 in it
because the bank took $1 for
a service fee."
He said that she and
Pollard still feel that their on-
ly hope of getting out of jail
is for the Israeli Government
to intervene with the U.S.
Government on their behalf
and to get them deported to
Israel. But for the meantime,
as they linger in jail, the
United States and Israel con-
tinue to exchange angry
recriminations over the entire
Pollard spy scandal. In recent
days, U.S. and Israeli officials
have warned of a major dip-
lomatic clash unless both
sides move quickly to ease
the crisis.
Israel must accept a great
deal of the responsibility for
this entire tragedy. It mis-
handled the matter from the
start.
Israel should have never
run Pollard in the first place
- no matter how valuable the
information he obtained. The
risks were not worth the
benefits, even if they were
significant.

only five of the nine courts cur-
rently covered by the bubble.
Three courts will become out-
door courts and one court will
be lost because of the new
structure. The food concession
will also serve the adjacent
outdoor pool area.
Dr. Plotnick said the JCC is
now talking to architects about
the project, and he hopes con-
struction will be completed in
12-18 months.

The information about
Pollard's espionage activities
initially provided to the U.S.
by Israel actually set the
stage for his decision to seek
a plea bargaining arrange-
ment with the U.S. Govern-
ment and to cooperate with
the investigation. Pollard con-
fessed and began to tell all on-
ly after discovering that the
Israeli officials whom he had
trusted and with whom he
had worked had already
presented the U.S. with a con-
siderable body of evidence
against him.
Feeling betrayed and aban-
doned by Israel, he began to
inform the prosecutors of
even more incredible details
involving the scope of the es-
pionage ring - details left
out by the Israeli officials.
Israel, for example, returned
only 163 of the more than
1,000 documents taken by
Pollard, according to the U.S.
government.
Earlier, Pollard had
planned to "dissemble," or
fabricate stories to get the
American investigators off
Israel's back. During the first
few days of questioning by
FBI agents after he was first
suspected of espionage ac-
tivities - and while he was
still planning his escape to
Israel - he made up all sorts
of tales involving East Ger-
many, Pakistan and other
countries in order to confuse
his interrogators. Even after
he was actually arrested out-
side the Israeli Embassy in
Washington, after unsuc-
cessfully seeking asylum
there, he remained determin-
ed to lie about his involve-
ment with Israel. He was go-
ing to be devoted to Israel un-
til the end.
U.S. law enforcement offi-
cials have acknowledged that
the Israeli cooperation -
even if incomplete and
misleading - had been in-
strumental in convincing
Pollard to confess and to
enter into the plea bargaining
arrangement. Without the
leads and evidence provided
by Israel, Pollard could have
remained silent - his right
under the U.S. Constitution
- and the Government would
have had a very hard time
convicting him.
After Pollard was arrested,
Israel should have done one of
two things. It should either
have hung tough and re-
mained silent - an action
which would have been
grudgingly understood by
hardnosed U.S. intelligence
officials - or it should have
cooperated fully and ac-
curately with the Americans.
By taking a middle position
- partial and misleading
cooperation - Israel man-
