AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TECHNION
29645 W. Fourteen Mile Road
Farmington Hills, MI 48334-1666 • (313) 737-1990
20 FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1991
New York (JTA) — The
president and chief profes-
sional officer of the United
Jewish Appeal, Stanley
Horowitz, has resigned from
his position, effective July 1.
Mr. Horowitz's "request to
be relieved of day-to-day ex-
ecutive responsibilities at
UJA," which had been
rumored for some time, was
confirmed in a memorandum
sent to national UJA leaders
Feb. 28 by Morton Kor-
nreich, chairman of the UJA
board of trustees, and Mar-
vin Lender, its national
chairman.
Mr. Horowitz, who has
worked as a professional in
UJA and the federation
movement for the last three
decades, has been at the
helm of UJA for the last
seven years.
He has presided over a na-
tional campaign to raise
hundreds of millions of
dollars annually for Israel
and other Jewish needs, in-
cluding the historic reset-
tlement of Soviet and Ethio-
pian immigrants in Israel.
Under his leadership, UJA
last year raised what Mr.
Kornreich and Mr. Lender
called in their memo a
"record-shattering $1.2
billion dollars" in UJA-
federation campaign pledges
and $500 million in actual
cash collections.
They also cited his
"proactive role in substan-
tive issues such as Soviet
Jewry advocacy and Jewish
Agency reform," as well as
his role in "enriching UJA's
relationship" with federa-
tions, the Council of Jewish
Federations and other
organizations.
The memo said UJA
leaders were "surprised"
several months ago when
Mr. Horowitz "initiated the
discussions" leading to his
resignation. It said he be-
lieves his recent ac-
complishments "mark for
both him and the UJA a
logical transition point."
It added that Mr. Horowitz
"believes that UJA, too, will
benefit from a new profes-
sional leader, new energy
and new ideas."
According to the memo,
Mr. Horowitz "wants to turn
his attention to writing,
teaching, foundations and
other activities." He will
become a consultant to UJA
after July 1.
$650 Million In Added
Aid Voted For Israel
Washington (JTA) — The
Senate voted 92-8 last week
to provide Israel with $650
million in additional aid to
offset its added defense-
preparedness costs during
the Persian Gulf conflict.
The money for Israel was
included as part of an
emergency supplemental aid
bill covering costs related to
Operation Desert Storm.
A similar bill was approv-
ed overwhelmingly by the
House of Representatives.
But to receive any of the
funds, Israel will have to
wait for a House-Senate con-
ference committee to iron
out differences between the
two chambers' versions of
the bill.
Speaking after the vote,
Sen. John Heinz (R-Pa.) said
the bill "reimburses the
people of Israel for a portion
of the material costs in-
flicted on them" during the
Gulf war.
But the bill covers only ex-
traordinary military ex-
penses and not property
damage caused by the 39
Iraqi missiles fired at Israel.
The Senate took the addi-
tional step March 20 of barr-
ing delivery of $55 million in
aid to Jordan this fiscal year
unless President Bush cer-
tifies to Congress that Jor-
dan is taking positive steps
toward bringing about peace
in the Middle East.
During the Gulf conflict,
the White House suspended
further deliveries of U.S. aid
to Jordan this fiscal year,
specifically blocking the
transfer of $246 million in
aid that was about to be
released. That action was
taken in response to King
Hussein's open support for
Iraq after its invasion of
Kuwait.
Also as part of the bill, the
Senate adopted an amend-
ment calling on Syria to
allow the country's
estimated 4,000 Jews to
reunite with family mem-
bers abroad. The measure,
adopted by voice vote, was
sponsored by Sen. Bob
Graham (D-Fla.).
