velopments.
NJCRAC has stepped up
its community relations
efforts since the Aug. 2 Iraqi
invasion of Kuwait, accor-
ding to Kenneth Bandler,
the agency's director of
public information.
NJCRAC is the coor-
dinating body for 13 nation-
al agencies and more than
100 community relations
councils. It has provided
local agencies with regularly
updated advice on handling
national and international
issues, responding to media
queries and interpreting
Bush administration policy.
NJCRAC has also been
considering instituting its
own information line to pro-
vide callers with updated
reports about Gulf develop-
ments.

Issues, Peace
Rome (JTA) — Pope John
Paul II, in addresses to
thousands this past
weekend, coupled calls for
peace in the Persian Gulf
with appeals on behalf of the
"sorely tried" Palestinian
people.
Addressing thousands in
St. Peter's Square who were
gathered for a special "day
of prayers for peace," the
pontiff appealed to Iraq to
withdraw from Kuwait in "a
gesture of peace that would
bring it honor in history."
A day earlier, addressing
diplomats accredited to the
Vatican, including the U.S.
and Iraqi ambassadors, the
pope said "peace is still
possible."
But he said it must em-
brace a solution of the Pales-
tinian question.
"For decades, the Palestin-
ian people has been sorely
tried and unjustly treated,"
he said.
"This is testified to by the
hundreds of thousands of
refugees dispersed in the re-
gion and in other parts of the
world, as by the situation of
the inhabitants of Jordan
and Gaza.
"This people asks to be
heard, even if it must be rec-
ognized that some Palestin-
ian groups have chosen to
use unacceptable and con-
demnable methods to
achieve this," the pope said.

New York (JTA) — Ameri-
can Jewish organizations
are establishing a series of
communication networks to
ensure that the latest infor-
mation on developments in
the Persian Gulf is con-
tinuously available to Jewish
community leaders.
They also want to make
sine that local activities re-
lating to the Gulf crisis, such
as rallies or demonstrations,
are coordinated nationally
as tension builds in the Mid-
dle East.
The Conference of Presi-
dents of Major American
Jewish Organizations is set-
ting up a "crisis response
center" to monitor develop-
ments in Washington, at the
United Nations and in the
Middle East itself.
"Silence in this case is our
enemy," Shoshana Cardin,
the new chairman of the con-
ference, said at a news brief-
ing. "Sleep is not on our
agenda."
In conjunction with the
Council of Jewish Federa-
tions and the National Jew-
ish Community Relations
Advisory Council, the Con-
ference of Presidents is es-
tablishing a toll-free hotline
for federation executives to
call for information on the
Gulf. This will complement
an already set-up phone line
for Jewish organizational
leaders.
The new hotline will be
updated twice daily with the
latest information on the
Gulf crisis and Israel.
Phone lines are scheduled
to be installed this week, but
no phone number is yet
available.
In addition, the CJF
satellite network will be
available to link national
Jewish leaders in New York
and federation leaders
around the country with
Israel, Marvin Lender, na-
tional chairman of the
United Jewish Appeal, an-
nounced last week.
Mr. Lender spoke during a
satellite broadcast linking
federation leaders from 70
communities across North
America with UJA leaders
and three Israeli officials:
Eliahu Ben-Elissar, chair-
man of the Knesset Foreign
Affairs and Defense Com-
mittee; Jerusalem Mayor
Teddy Kollek; and Simcha
Dinitz, chairman of the Jew-
ish Agency and World
Zionist Organization Exec-
utives.
According to Mr. Lender,
