"We might have done some more thinking through about what we could do if the administration played the linkage card," said NJCRAC's Larry Rubin. "In the future, I hope we will pay more attention to what could go wrong and how to deal with it." ❑ Winners And Losers A look at the major Ameri- can Jewish groups that took part in the loan guarantee fight — and how they fared. AIPAC: Monday-morning quarterbacking has centered on the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the lobbying arm of the pro-Israel community. Because of its size and its take-no-prisoners style, AIPAC has become an in- viting target for those parceling out blame for the loan guarantee loss. The reality is somewhat more complex. AIPAC's notoriously pragmatic legislative staff was quietly warning against overconfidence as early as July. AIPAC lobbyists were telling pro-guarantees coali- tion colleagues that the ad- ministration might seek direct linkage — and that any serious effort by the White House to tie the guar- antees to Israel's set- tlements policies would be very difficult to counter in Congress. But other elements within AIPAC were implying that an easier victory was at hand, according to sources here. AIPAC's executive direc- tor, Tom Dine, was faulted by some pro-Israel activists for giving the impression that the loan guarantee battle was all but won. But Mr. Dine was also tireless in exhorting Jewish groups around the country to get involved in the political battle. Typically, the criticism of AIPAC was somewhat con- tradictory. When the presi- dent announced his desire for a delay, many pro-Israel activists privately expressed concern that AIPAC would "cave in" to administration demands. But after the pres- ident's Sept. 12 tirade, some of these same activists com- plained that AIPAC was dragging the Jewish com- munity into a hopeless, dangerous battle. There is little question that AIPAC's reputation for legislative success has suf- fered a serious blow. But analysts point out that AIPAC was able to turn the 1981 AWACS disaster into a victory of sorts by successful- ly punishing key opponents of their position in the debate — and using that punishment as a major weapon in future battles. The 1992 elections may show how well AIPAC can recover from the loan guar- antee fight. The Conference of Pres- idents of Major American Jewish Organizations: The umbrella organization head- ed by Shoshana Cardin became the pivotal group in planning the massive grass- roots effort in support of the loan guarantees. So far, pro- Israel activists have given the President's Conference high marks for uniting a Jewish community that is far from united on the critical issue of Israel's set- tlements policies. Malcolm Hoenlein, the group's executive director, and Mrs. Cardin, its chair, were credited with working tirelessly and effectively to keep the broad coalition together, despite the volatility of the settlements issue. Mr. Hoenlein and Mrs. Cardin were also cited by many Jewish activists as the most effective advocates for the loan guarantees in the media. But the Conference was faulted by some pro-Israel activists for not predicting the president's passion on the settlements issue, despite the group's respon- sibility for administration lobbying. The remarkable unity forged by the Presidents' Conference imparted enor- mous momentum to the grass-roots pro-guarantees effort — but it also may have mislead the Israelis into thinking that they could win the loan guarantees even as they expanded settlements, according to some observers. Strained relations with the administration over the loan guarantee debate are likely to make the job of the Presi- dents' Conference much more difficult in the days to come.
