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." Indians Turn To Jews For Political Insight Orchard Lake Road • North of Maple CENTURS CLA, M E. RA BUY—SELL—TRADE 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 Fri. 10-8 6919 Orchard Lake Road W. Bloomfield • 855-5528 Larry Paul makes FURNITURE NEW.

For Free Estimates 681-8280 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.
