In a separate statement, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith reiterated its support for AIPAC and said "60 Minutes" had failed to show that its success stems "not so much from lobbying but the commitment of Jews and non-Jews all over the country who are dedicated to the well-being of relations between the United States and Israel."

Wallace also quoted a CBS poll in which 630 people were asked, "Do you think it is right that the United States gives more money in foreign aid to Israel than any other country?" Wallace said 13 percent said yes, 72 percent said no and 15 percent did not know. In its statement Monday, AIPAC said that in virtually every public opinion poll, "the American public has con- sistently reaffirmed the strong support for Israel as a friend and ally of the United States!' AIPAC said that U.S. foreign assistance to Israel is based on Israel's role as a "critical United States ally, a full-fledged democracy, strug- gling to survive in a hostile and unstable part of the world!" The lobbying group said "60 Minutes" has attempted to depict lawful participation in the political process as "something negative and sinister!" AIPAC said it is preparing a more detailed refutation of Wallace's charge. Mel 0 10 a* 30400 Telegraph Rd., Suite 134 Birmingham 642-5575 \fl WO/ organized Jewish communi- ty" on at least three recent issues related to Israel. The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations held an emergency meeting Monday to discuss the fallout of the "60 Minutes" broadcast. The meeting, at which members of the umbrella organization agreed that the report was "filled with distor- tions, innuendoes and inac- curacies," was the second in a week called to discuss criticism of AIPAC. The central theme of Wallace's report was that AIPAC has exerted undue in- fluence to ensure that Israel receives $3 billion in U.S. foreign aid, with little or no congressional debate. The report appeared to charge that AIPAC has engineered the defeat of U.S. senators and representatives because of their poor voting records on foreign aid and arms sales to Arab countries. The report said that AIPAC had instructed pro-Israel PACs around the country to contribute money to the senatorial campaign of Rhode Island Lt. Gov. Richard Licht. Licht, who is Jewish, is challenging the incumbent, Republican Sen. John Chafee, who is seen as less sym- pathetic toward Israel. Wallace produced a two- year-old memo that he said proved AIPAC has been urg- ing financial support for Licht, in what he said was arguably a violation of federal law prohibiting lobbying groups from taking part in partisan politics. AIPAC has since said the memo was written by a low- level staff person. AIPAC also said it does not have the power to direct fund-raising decisions. AIPAC officials have said that while the group is pro- hibited from coordinating the activities of PACs, it often pro- vides information at the re- quest of AIPAC members who are involved in the political process. The report also included criticism of AIPAC by former Undersecretary of State George Ball and one-time Sen. Charles Percy (R-I11.). Ball served in the State Department from 1961 to 1965 and was described by AIPAC Monday as "a longtime critic of U.S. policy toward Israel!' In the "60 Minutes" report, Ball called AIPAC's influence a "corruption of the American democratic process," without specifying where AIPAC had either acted illegally or unethically. 1110111 < AWARDED CERTIFICATE BY GIA IN GRADING & EVALUATION Around the World Continued from preceding page.
