Still, he is likely to find a way to work with his Israeli counterparts as well. The best guess here is that he will be more supportive of Israel than Caspar Weinberger — probably about as friendly as was Frank Carlucci during the final year of the Reagan administration. Because he represented a very small state with only a handful of Jews, Cheney did not have to deliver many major addresses on Israel. "He hasn't thought about the subject too much," one Capitol Hill source said. But Cheney did speak before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in 1984, a presiden- tial election year in the United States. He underscored his commitment to "the growing importance of our shared strategic in- terests" with Israel. "The determination of the United States to maintain and build on that historic relationship is not the subject of partisan debate," Cheney said. "There is no Republican or Democratic position on the security of Israel — only an American position." In the speech, Cheney went on to urge the largely-Jewish audience to support a strong U.S. defense and a large Pen- tagon budget. "What's at stake," he said, "is the future commitment of the United States to maintain that [military] commitment — to be the strong, reliable and ef- fective partner that future generations of Israelis can de- pend upon." Whatever attitude toward Israel Cheney does adopt at the Pentagon in the coming years, there is no doubt that he is talented and committed. He will command a great deal of respect in Washington, and therefore he will be a forceful defense secretary. Israeli officials believe that it is important for Cheney to meet at an early opportunity with Defense Minister Yit- zhak Rabin and other Israeli leaders. "It will be crucial for us to establish some personal ties and some good chemistry with him," one Israeli official said. "Otherwise, there could be problems."
