Isolationist Politics
Threaten Pro-Israel Bills

When Congress returns, loan guarantee
approval is just one problem facing
Jewish activists.

JAMES D. BESSER

Washington Correspondent

p

residential elections
always add a jolt of
energy to the activity
in Congress.
But in 1992, a combination
of volatile economic and po-
litical factors are coming
together in ways that could
prove particularly explosive
for the cadre of activists who
represent Jewish interests
on Capitol Hill.
At the top of the agenda for
Jewish activists is the ex-
pected rematch over Israel's
request for $10 billion in
U.S. loan guarantees.
Last September, Jewish
groups waged a massive
grass-roots campaign to
build congressional support
for the guarantees, which
will provide federal backing
for loans made by private
banks.
But that effort ran afoul of
a president angry about
Israel's settlements policies.
After his infamous
September 12 news con-
ference, President George
Bush successfully fought for
a 120-day delay in the guar-
antees — something that
Congress, sensing a new and
powerful anti-foreign aid
sentiment blowing across
the land, meekly accepted.
This time around, pro-
Israel groups are taking a
more cautious approach.
Jewish leaders, chastened
by September's crushing
defeat, are working with
leaders on Capitol Hill and
in the White House to find a
compromise formula that
will keep the loan guar-
antees from becoming a po-
litical football.
"There's an assumption
this time that if the presi-
dent is still totally against
the guarantees, we don't
have much of a chance," said
a leading Washington pro-
Israel activist. "So the em-
phasis is on persuading peo-
ple in the administration
that this is in U.S. inter-
ests."
One possible compromise
would involve spreading out
the $10 billion package over
five years, with separate ap-
proval required each year.
Some pro-Israel activists
are also quietly warning of-
ficials in Jerusalem that a

successful compromise will
require concessions on the
part of the Israeli govern-
ment.
But Capitol Hill observers
suggest that even with new
flexibility on the pro-Israel
side, it will be an uphill
fight.
President Bush's attack on
proponents of the guar-
antees seemed to touch a
responsive chord among
recession-weary voters; for-
eign aid, an unpopular pro-
gram in the best of times,
makes an inviting target for
politicians who see a rich
harvest of votes in espousing
isolationism.
Curiously, the recent an-
nouncement that coner-
v a t iv e columnist Pat

This time,
pro-Israel groups
are taking a
cautious approach
on the $10 billion
loan guarantee
issue.

Buchanan will challenge
Mr. Bush in the Republican
primaries could provide a
boost to efforts to avoid a
showdown with the ad-
ministration.
With Mr. Buchanan ham-
mering away at the isola-
tionist theme, Mr. Bush may
have a vested interest in
defending the international
outlook that has
characterized his ad-
ministration — and in
avoiding anything that
might give the conservative
challenger new weapons in
his crusade for an American
withdrawal from the world
arena.
A noisy, divisive fight over
the loan guarantees could be
such a weapon.
Unlike the last loan guar-
antee go-round, Jewish
leaders have not mounted a
large-scale grass roots cam-
paign to build support for
the measure.
"The real question is, does
this debate take place in the
context of angry public con-
frontation — or in private,
where we can make a serious
effort to work out the prob-
lems?" asked Jess Hordes,
Washington director for the
Anti-Defamation League of
