National Council of Jewish
Women. "But it clearly in-
creases the risk. It has a
chilling effect on young wo-
men going for safe, legal
abortions because they don't
want to hurt their parents."
Still, the lobby day was
considered a rousing success
by participants.
"This really does begin a
new phase in the public
debate over reproductive
choice," said Ann Lewis, di-
rector of the American Jew-
ish Congress' Commission
for Women's Equality. "The
gag rule is an issue that
touches our community in a
very basic way. We believe
that you cannot artificially
limit research, or advice and
information, for purely
ideological reasons. This is
not the way the Jewish
community works."

When pro-choice activists
gathered in Washington last
week for a "National Direct
Action Day" in support of
legislation overturning the
Supreme Court's "gag rule"
decision, a long list of Jewish
groups turned out for the
event.
Last week, the Senate
passed the anti-gag rule bill,
which would overturn
regulations forbidding abor-
tion counselling in federally
funded family planning
clinics.
But senators tacked on two
non-related amendments re-
quiring parental notification
for abortions for minors —
something many Jewish
groups will have a hard time
living with.
"People think parental
notification is no big deal,"
said Sammie Moshenberg,
Wnqhing,tnn director for the

Jewish groups have
become known for their
sophistication in working
the levers of power in Wash-
ington — so much so that
representatives of other
minority groups often turn
to the Jewish community for
tips on successful political
advocacy.
So it was last week when
Vernon Masayesva, Chair-
man of the Hopi Nation,
turned to the Washington
Action Office of the Council
of Jewish Federations for in-
formation on how the Jewish
community has organized its
capital city presence.
"He was very interested in
how the Jewish community
works in Washington, how
we have been able to help
our own community through
our work in the capital,"
said Mark Talisman, CJF's
Washington director.
The Hopis also hope to ac-
quire some expertise from
the Israelis.
"They expect that some of
the elders of the tribe will be
traveling to Israel to learn
about water and crop
management," Mr.
Talisman said. "There is al-
ready one project underway
between Israel and an In-
dian tribe; this could be the
second."
The Hopi leader also ex-
pressed strong interest in
the work of Women's Ameri-
can ORT, a group with cut-
ting-edge training programs
that could serve as a model
for the hard-pressed Hopi
people, who face a 65 percent
unemployment rate among
the community's young.
Breger Takes New Post
In Bush Administration
Observant Jews are in
somewhat short supply in
the upper reaches of the
Bush administration.
So last week's appoint-
ment of longtime Jewish
Republican activist Mar-
shall Breger to be solicitor of
the Department of Labor
was a move that pleased Or-
thodox activists.
Mr. Breger, a former law
professor, currently serves
as chairman of the Ad-
ministrative Conference of
the United States — a kind
of government think-tank
working on improving the
regulatory process.
Before that, Mr. Breger
served as special assistant to
President Ronald Reagan for
public liaison, with special
responsibility for relations
with the Jewish community.
In that role, he was praised
for greatly increasing the
access of Jewish leaders to
the White House inner-
sanctum.
