A Jewish Association for Residential Care for persons with developmental disabilities 28366 Franklin Road Southfield, MI 48034 (313) 352-5272 U.S. Moves To Enable Israeli Housing Loans Washington (JTA) — A U.S. Agency for Interna- tional Development team is expected in Israel soon to begin implementing the U.S. agreement to guarantee $400 million in loans to building housing for Soviet immigrants. Secretary of State James Baker last week told Israel's new ambassador to Wash- ington, Zalman Shoval, that he had instructed AID to go ahead with the mission. The AID team will evaluate Israel's plans for using the $400 million before issuing the guarantee document, which allows Israel to seek the loans from an American bank. There had been reports last week that Mr. Baker had delayed sending the AID mission because of continued concern about the set- tlement of Soviet Jews in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. Mr. Baker had accepted Israel's assurances that none of the $400 million would be used for settling Soviet Jews in areas not under Israel's control before 1967. But he reportedly wanted greater assurances about Israel's overall hous- ing plans beyond the Israeli government's promise that Soviet Jews are not being directed to the territories. State Department spokes- woman Margaret Tutwiler repeated that the delay in sending the AID team was due only to the need to work out details. Mr. Shoval, who has not yet presented his credentials to President Bush, met with Mr. Baker for an hour Nov. 2, just one day before the secretary left for visits to Turkey, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. During his one-week trip, Mr. Baker was scheduled to meet Tuesday with the Chinese foreign minister in Cairo and to go to Moscow for meetings Thursday with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and Foreign Min- ister Eduard Shevardnadze. Mr. Shoval said his meeting with Mr. Baker demonstrated that the basic understanding between the United States and Israel continues, despite differ- ences of opinion on some issues. Disagreement between friends does not break an al- liance, the ambassador said. The close ties are as strong as ever and can withstand disagreement.

Bloomfield • 855-5528 NRA Disavows Staffer's Anti-Semitic Remark Washington (JTA) — The National Rifle Association has disavowed a comment made by one of its workers that "most anti-gun and an- ti-hunting stuff is backed by Jews." The comment, made by Willis Corbett, the gun lobby's representative in Missouri and Illinois, ap- peared Oct. 28 in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Mr. Corbett was discussing the gun control records of local lawmakers in prepara- tion for Election Day, but also spoke of the NRA's other enemies, including police chiefs, the press and the Jewish community. The NRA's disassociation was made in a letter Oct. 30 to the newspaper, which was supplied by the group. "The comments in this story do not represent the views of the National Rifle Associ- ation," wrote Robert Grego, director of its field services division. "Any inference that the (NRA) is anti-Semitic is completely false," he added. "NRA has, for over 119 years, accepted law- abiding American men and women of all races, religions and na- tionalities as members." In addition, Mr. Grego said, "NRA was an equal opportunity association long before laws were enacted against prejudice in our nation. In fact, the NRA is the oldest civil rights organ- ization in the United States." The Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith wrote the gun lobby last week without knowledge of the NRA disavowal, which the ADL considers insufficient. Abraham Foxman, ADL's national director, said that "the religion of those on either side of the debate is irrelevant." Mr. Foxman also claimed that Mr. Corbett was "playing with a weapon potentially as dangerous as any gun."
