Campaign funding to
$45,000.
"It is not going to be easy,
but we are all committed to
Operation Exodus," said
Jewish Community Council
Executive Director David
Gad-Harf. "We must
sacrifice to help settle Jews
in Israel and here in
America. We are facing a
historic opportunity and we
should not complain about
the level of our agency fun-
ding at a time when funds
are so critically needed for
Soviet resettlement."
Although the JCCouncil
will receive additional Cam-
paign funds this year, Gad-
Harf said his agency needed
more money just to break
even. Like other agencies,
Gad-Harf is trying to cut
corners.
Jewish Family Service,
which operates on a $2.5
million budget, is implemen-
ting a fee structure for more
services, JFS Executive Di-
rector Alan Goodman said.
The agency is also slashing
its financial assistance to
the poor program in half to
$50,000.
The agency is considering
replacing cash
dispersements to the poor
with food certificates gen-
erally used for holiday
funds. "We will be focusing
assistance on people who are
much more needy," Good-
man said.
In addition, JFS for the
first time has started charg-
ing its clients for rides to ap-
pointments in the
metropolitan Detroit area.
Previously free to anyone,
the service will cost $4 for
those who can afford to pay.
Those who can't afford the
service still will be able to
ride at no charge.
JFS leaders say the fees
are expected to generate
$20,000 a year and will help
offset flat funding from its
two major contributors —
the United Way and the
Federation.
"This is very difficult for
us," Goodman said. "We
have cut on every budget
line item and we might
have to cut two staff posi-
tions.
"This is extremely pain-
ful," Goodman said. "We
don't see what else we can
do. We are overjoyed that we
can do what we can to help
the Soviet Jews. We under-
stand it. We made a com-
mitment, but it does have an
impact on local services."
Goodman said JFS also is
developing a fee structure
for its respite care services.
"Now those who can afford
to pay will. This is a major
departure for Jewish Family

Services. But what we are
saying is we are here for the
whole community, not just
the poor."
The Jewish Community
Center doesn't expect to trim
its staff, but executive direc-
tor Mort Plotnick says he
may reduce staff hours.
"I am looking at my op-
tions," Plotnick said, in-
cluding a membership dues
increase in November.
Jewish Vocational Service
is projecting for the first
time a deficit of $50,000.
JVS, too, hopes to generate
funds by selling services
such as insurance case-
management.
JVS subsidizes several
counselling and rehabilita-
tion programs.
"If we can't find dollars,
that will be cut," said JVS
Executive Director Al
Ascher. "This is tough for us.
It is occurring during a time
when the state budget is in
question."
JVS, operates on a $7 mill-
ion budget that is comprised
of monies from the Federa-
tion, United Way and
government funds.
In the worse-case scenario,
Ascher said, JVS would be
forced to eliminate two staff
positions. "I don't know if
that will be necessary or not.
We hope to avoid it," Ascher
said. EJ

teed in the effort to bring
about elections leading to
negotiations for Palestinian
autonomy in the West Bank
and Gaza Strip, the diplomat
said.
Republican congressional
leaders who met with Bush
reported the president said
there were "reasons to hope
for success."
Fitzwater said the only ex-
planation he could offer for
this comment was that with
the Israeli government now
in place, "at least we have
an entity to work with."
The letter was revealed by
Bush in an interview with
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In the interview, the pres-
ident seemed to reiterate
Baker's warning before a
congressional committee
last week that the United
States might drop its efforts.
"We aren't going to pick
up our marbles and go
home," Bush said. But he
also said that if Israel and
the Palestinians do not show
they want to go on, "there
may be a hiatus" in U.S. in-
volvement.
