AMERICAN
CANCER
SOCIETY'

Washington (JTA) —
President-elect George Bush
has appointed Brent
Scowcroft as his national
security adviser, but the im-
pact of the appointment on
Jewish and Israeli issues is
unknown since Scowcroft dees
not have an extensive public
record on the Middle East.
Scowcroft, who will be
returning to the position he
held in the last two years of
the Ford administration, is
better known for his expertise
on arms control and the
Soviet Union.
Sources speculated that
while Scowcrofrt is not anti-
Israel, he might lean more
toward the Arab countries. In
1981, he was one of 16 former
top-ranking government of-
ficial who publicly supported
the sale of AWACS
surveillance planes to Saudi
Arabia.
Scowcroft, who now works
for Kissinger Associates, the
consulting firm headed by
former Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger, has been a
consultant for businesses
dealing with the Arab world,
particularly Saudi Arabia.
Bush's appointment of the

63-year-old retired air force
lieutenant general was ex-
pected and was touted even
before Bush's election.
If Bush, as expected, next
week names former Sen. John
lbwer of Texas as secretary of
defense, he will have ap-
.pointed two of the three
members of President
Reagan's special review board
on the Iran/Contra affair. The
other member was former
Secretary of State Edward
Muskie, once a Democratic
senator from Maine.

The review board recom-
mended that the national
security adviser have direct
access to the president
without having to go through
the chief of staff or anyone
else, something Bush stress-
ed Scowcroft will have.
Scowcroft is considered a
protege of Kissinger. He serv-
ed as Kissinger's deputy on
the National Security Coun-
cil from 1972 to 1975. When
Ford decided that Kissinger
should not hold both the posts
of secretary of state and na-
tional security adviser,
Scowcroft was named na-
tional security adviser.

U.S. Jews Pleased With
Entry Denial To Arafat

New York (JTA) — Major
American Jewish organiza-
tions are pleased with the
United States' decision not to
allow Palestine Liberation
Organization leader Yasir
Arafat to enter the country
for a speech at the United
Nations.
In a number of public state-
ments made after the decision
was announced last weekend,
groups praised the Reagan
administration for rejecting
terrorism and for repeating
its dissatisfaction with the
outcome of the Palestine Na-
tional Council's recent ses-
sion in Algiers.
Arafat requested the visa in
order to address the annual
UN General Assembly debate
on the Palestinian situation.
The State Department said
that since Arafat is responsi-
ble for PLO • elements that
"have engaged in terrorism
against Americans and
others," he would continue to
be denied a visa under a law
that prohibits identified ter-
rorists from entering the
country.
While most American Jew-
ish groups communicated
their concern over the Arafat

visit to U.S. officials during
the last few weeks, the lobby-
ing effort was mild compared
to an earlier attempt to close
the PLO observer mission to
the United Nations.
While the Justice Depart-
ment did order the mission
closed earlier this year, a
federal judge in Manhattan
overturned the order. The bat-
tle over the mission's closure
and the subsequent court
order was seen as a public
relations victory for the PLO.

ADL Backs
Religious Man

New York — The Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith asked the United
States Supreme Court to rule
that the government cannot
deny unemployment benefits
to an Illinois man whose
"sincerely held religious
beliefs" forbid him from work-
ing on Sunday.
ADL, in an amicus curiae
(friend of the court) brief, said
that William A. Frazee was
within his First Amendment
rights to object to Sunday
shifts.
