"I do not think our policy
is incorrect," he said in an
interview. "I do not think
that we need change our
policy when it is still unclear
what the situation will be
tomorrow, what the
government's position will
be tomorrow."
Seymour Reich, interna-
tional president of B'nai
B'rith, noted in a statement
issued in New York that he
was in South Africa only last
week for meetings with the
president and other political
leaders. "President de Klerk
was true to his word," Reich
said. "He had pledged that
he would remove the ban on
the African National Con-
gress and that he would
release Mandela. "He has
done so, and now the ir-
revocable process for achiev-
ing racial harmony and
representative government
in South Africa has begun."
Sholom Comay, president
of the American Jewish
Committee, declared that
"Freeing Nelson Mandela is
a giant step on the road to a
more just world."

Johannesburg (JTA) — The
South African Jewish Board
of Deputies hailed the
release of Nelson Mandela
last week in a statement
echoed by other Jewish
spokesmen worldwide.
The board wished Mandela
well and congratulated
South African President
F.W. de Klerk for his deci-
sion to free the black leader
of the African National Con-
gress, who became a symbol
of the anti-apartheid move-
ment during his 27 years in
prison.
The Board of Deputies said
that "it earnestly hopes Mr.
Mandela will use his con-
siderable political experi-
ence and wisdom for
creating a suitable climate
for reconciliation and
negotiation, which would be
to the benefit of all peoples of
South Africa regardless of
race, color or creed."
In Jerusalem, Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Shamir made clear that his
country's policy of limiting
its contacts with South
Africa would not change be-

New York (JTA) — Ameri-
can Jewish leaders are pri-
vately more dovish than
their public statements on
the Middle East would lead
one to believe, according to a
survey of 780 American Jew-
ish leaders that is expected
to be released next week.
The survey, conducted
under the auspices of the
Israel-Diaspora Institute, a
Tel-Aviv based public policy
think tank, found that
although 78 percent of the
leaders believe that the
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization is determined to
destroy Israel, a whopping
73 percent would support
Israeli dialogue with the
group if it "recognizes Israel
and renounces terrorism."
Seventy-six percent said
they favor "territorial com-
promise for credible guar-
antees of peace," and 59 per-
cent believe that Israel
should "offer the Palestin-
ians a prospect of a Palestin-
ian state in 15 years."
"The results are extremely
surprising in light of the
public statements these
leaders have made," said
Steven Cohen, professor of
sociology at Queens College,
who conducted the study.
"If you ask most observers
where Jewish leaders stand
on Likud vs. Labor, they
think the leadership hasn't
weighed in on one side or the
other. But it turns out that
in their private thinking,
American Jewish leaders
are squarely in the Labor
camp ideologically.
"The survey also shows,
however, that they think it's
inappropriate, unwise or
maybe even immoral to lean
in one direction or the other
professionally, even if they
do have a strong personal
opinion," said Cohen. "Thus,
there's a public position at
variance with a private posi-
tion."
Over 1,310 American Jew-
ish leaders were sent ques-
tionnaires in October and
November of 1989. They
represented three sectors:
Jewish community federa-
tions, prominent rabbis and
synagogue leaders, and
agencies such as the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, the
American Jewish Congress,
the Anti-Defamation League
of B'nai B'rith and local
Jewish community relations
agencies.
