Serious About
Moynahan Bill

In election years, the
thoughts of politicians
naturally turn to issues like
welfare reform.
But this time around, the
welfare debate may involve
more than the usual stump-
speech rhetoric. A proposal by.
New York's Sen. Daniel
Patrick Moynihan is current-
ly on the table in the Senate
— and several Jewish groups
have been a part of the effort
to craft a bill that will be
politically palatable, yet
strong enough to have a
positive impact on the na-
tion's poor.
"We feel that we have a
window of opportunity now,"
said Judy Golub, assistant
Washington representative
for the American Jewish
Committee. "And some say
it's getting narrower; the
closer we come to the election,
the harder it gets to pass this
kind of legislation."
The Moynihan bill, which
cleared the Senate finance
committee recently and is
now scheduled to come to the
floor in the next few weeks,
requires states to provide
education and job-search ser-
vices to help welfare reci-
pients move back into the
economic mainstream, and
tightens up child-support en-
forcement. The bill also in-
cludes provisions for Aid to
Families with Dependent
Children (AFDC) to two-
parent families who meet the
eligibility requirements.
But there are concerns that
the Moynihan bill has been
watered down in an effort to
build Republican support.
"For example, the bill caps
the training and employment
programs at $500 million for
the first year," said Beth
Sperber of the National Coun-
cil of Jewish Women, a group
active in the fight. "That
comes out to $131 per reci-
pient. So while it claims to set
up adequate training pro-
grams, the money just isn't
there."

Verity Gets
Activists' OK

C. William Verity, whose
nomination as Secretary of
Commerce last year provoked
howls of protest from Soviet
Jewry groups, is winning
high marks from many of
those same activists.
In his recent trip to Moscow,
Verity reportedly laid it on
the line to the Soviet leader:

ease up on emigration
policies, or forfeit the trade
advantages that the Soviet
Union desparately wants.
In his talk with the Soviet
leader, Verity indicated that
the Jackson-Vanik amend-
ment — the cornerstone of the
U.S. human rights policy —
was "not going to go away."
During his confirmation
hearings, there were concerns
that Verity's associations
with groups favoring eased
Soviet-U.S. trade would result
in a reduced emphasis on
Jackson-Vanik.
"From what we hear, he
was very tough and effective,"
said Micah Naftalin, national
director of the Union of Coun-
cils for Soviet Jews, a group
that led the charge against
the Verity nomination. "We
sensitized him to these issues
— and I now feel like we have
a sincere, significant ally at
Commerce."
Representatives of several
Soviet Jewry groups met with
Verity before his trip and urg-
ed him to keep pressing the
human rights agenda. "What
really pleased us," Naftalin
said,"is that he did this not
only in his meetings with the
Trade Ministry people, but
with Gorbachev himself."

Israel Signs
Trade Agreements

The recent disorders on the
West Bank and Gaza have
focused an uncomfortable
amount of attention on the
U.S.- Israeli diplomatic rela-
tionship. But a different kind
of diplomacy has kept officials
of the Jerusalem government
busy lately — trade and
economic cooperation
agreements between Israel
and state governments in this
country.
This week, Israeli officials
and Maryland governor
William Donald Schaefer
marked the conclusion of a
pact in a Baltimore ceremony.
A number of other states have
already developed joint pro-
grams, including Michigan,
New York, Wisconsin, Califor-
nia, Massachusetts and
Texas. More are in the works.
And last week, Virginia
Governor Gerald Baliles led a
mission of some 130 top cor-
porate and business leaders
on an Israel jaunt. The pur-
pose of the trip, sponsored by
the Virginia-Israel Commis-
sion, was to sign a long-term
accord renewing that state's
official ties with Jerusalem.
