Vietnamese Refugees
Not Forgotten

When it comes
to cleaning your contact lenses,
the best solution...
is no solution.

Soviet Jewry activists here
remain sensitive to the
needs of other groups.

A case in point was a re-
cent rally across the street
from the White House in
support of Indochinese refu-
gees. A featured speaker at
the event was David Harris,
Washington representative
for the American Jewish
Committee and organizer of
the massive 1987 mobiliza-
tion for Soviet Jews.

money for Jews seeking to
leave the Soviet Union,

"The rally was to support
the Vietnamese American
community in its call for pol-
icies against forced repatria-
tion," Harris said, "and to
urge the administration to
encourage other countries to
stop rejecting these refu-
gees."

9-Year-Vigil
Could Set Record

If the Guinness Book of
Records kept statistics on po-
litical demonstrations, the
19-year-old Soviet Jewry
vigil across the street from
the Soviet embassy would
almost certainly deserve
mention.
"It definitely continues,"
said Buddy Sislen, Interna-
tional Affairs coordinator for
the Jewish Community Re-
lations Council in
Washington. "But there's
been a refocusing of the vig-
il; we now describe the goal

in terms of calling attention
to the continuing problem of
long-term refuseniks. The
vigil will continue until all
long-term Refuseniks have
been granted permission to
leave the country."
Sislen doubts that the re-
cent rise in emigration has
affected turnout at the vigil,
which is staffed on a rotating
basis by local synagogues,
members of various Jewish
organizations and Jewish of-
fice workers on their lunch
breaks.

Mazon 'Dinner'
Planned

Plans for a "dinner
without dinner" fund-raiser
for Mazon, the Jewish
response to hunger, are
underway. The event is in-
tended to both raise money
for Mazon and to serve as a
vehicle for raising the con-
sciousness of young Jewish
professionals.
Tony-award winning actor
Ron Silver has volunteered
to serve as MC. Doug
Mishkin, a well-known
folksinger, has written a
song about Mazon, "Sing For

Your Supper," which will
debut at the event, which
will also feature elegant
place settings and formal at-
tire -- but no food.

A month before the
November 30 event, the
group has already collected
more than 30,000 for the an-
ti-hunger group.
"It's exceeded our best pro-
jections," said Jonathan
Kessler, a longtime pro-
Israel activist and one of the
event's originators. O
