In the past week, three groups of legislators have started actions designed to give shape to the emerging discussions in Tunis — a pro- cess that some privately sug- gest has been lacking from the administration. The most sweeping is a bill offered by two Senate newcomers, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, (D-Conn.), and Sen. Connie Mack, (R- Fla.). The Lieberman-Mack proposal would require the administration to report periodically to Congress on the progress of the talks. "What it does is take the commitments made by Ge- orge Shultz and codify them," said a spokesman for Lieberman. Although the Lieberman- Mack measure was introduc ed as a independent bill, it is expected that it will end up as an amendment — possibly to 0f The Shoe Center Come visit our new store!

M. J. Rosenberg, currently special assistant to Sen. Carl Levin, (D-Mich.), will become administrative assistant to Rep. Edward Feighan, (D- Ohio). In the curious pecking order of Congress, the job represents a significant pro- motion even though Rosenberg will be moving to the lower house. Rosenberg has held a number of positions in the Jewish world, as well as Capitol Hill. He served as editor of the Near East Report and worked for the American Jewish Committee, and he has become a popular speaker on the UJA circuit. Feighan, according to some Washington observers, is an up-and-coming congressman from the Cleveland suburbs who has worked well with Jewish and pro-Israel groups. Feighan is best known as author of the "Brady Amend- ment," the measure designed to limit the sale of cheap handguns.

Bob Kasten: Warning to U.N. the huge foreign aid bill now lumbering through Congress. Also last week 38 senators signed a letter by Sen. Robert Kasten, (R-Wis.), and Sen. Patrick Leahy, (D-Vt.), warn- ing that the Senate would not look favorably upon any at- tempt by United Nations agencies to recognize the newly declared "state of Palestine?' And for good measure, Sen. Jesse Helms, (R-N.C.), has been circulating a letter that urges the administration to Jewish groups here con- tinue to work in the trenches in the fight for civil rights. Several groups currently are involved in a small but important battle over the future of the Martin Luther King Commission, the board that oversees planning for celebrating the late civil rights leader's birthday. The commission's mandate is due to expire on April 20. Legislation to extend the commission's life is pending in both houses, but the bill has fallen through the cracks in Congress because of other business. There is also concern about a possible filibuster by Sen. Jesse Helms, (R-N.C.). And Senate Minority Leader Robert Dole (R-Kans.), has been inexplicably slow to schedule the measure for ac- tion on the Senate floor. "This is not a large amount of money we're talking about," said Sammie Moshenberg, Washington representative for the Na- tional Council of Jewish Women, one of the groups pro- moting the legislation. "The Commission is what helps Martin Luther King: Is his holiday in jeopardy? keep Martin Luther King's birthday from being just another day for big sales; it's a shame that people in Con- gress haven't really focused on it." The Jewish effort to restore renew the King commission has been spearheaded by the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith. Panel Clears Israel of Labor Discrimination After weeks of rumors, a government panel released its report last week absolving Israel of unfair labor practices for Palestinian workers. But the abrupt timing of the announcement and an ap- parent lack of interest by the press gave the Arab organiza- tions that filed the initial petition with the U.S. Trade Representative a kind of backhanded victory. The panel found no evidence of discriminatory labor practices in Israel pro- per and declined to in- vestigate labor practices in the West Bank and Gaza because of their status as ter- ritories under dispute. But despite active efforts by groups like the Jewish Labor Committee, the American Jewish Committee and the American-Israel Public Af- fairs Committee, the final
