With foreign aid looking
more and more vulnerable, a
powerful Senate leader who
has given pro-Israel activists
fits over the question of aid
to Israel has decided not to
hang up his cleats, after all.
Recently, Sen. Robert
Dole, R-Kans., the minority
leader in the Senate, con-
founded some pro-
gnosticators by announcing
that he would run for a fifth
term.
Last year, the 68 year old
Capitol Hill veteran was
treated for prostate cancer,
which fueled speculation
about his possible departure.
In the past, Mr. Dole has
called for cuts in aid to
Israel, and for linking aid to
changes in the policies of the
government of Yitzhak
Shamir.
Perpetually waiting in the
wings is Rep. Dan Glickman,
a Jewish Democrat with
well-known senatorial ambi-
tions.
Last year, Mr. Glickman
sent out hints that he would
run only if the popular Mr.
Dole did not seek another
term.
But now, with anti-
incumbent feeling running
high across the nation and
the dimming of prospects for
the Republicans, Mr.
Glickman may be thinking
twice about mounting a
challenge, according to
sources here.
This poses an interesting
question: would the pro-
Israel political action com-
mittees (PACs) give money
to Mr. Glickman — a Jewish
legislator with an
unblemished pro- Israel
record?
In the past, the PACs have
waved Mr. Glickman off
from a possible challenge;
working with an incumbent,

Dole:
Will he run again?

Glickman:
Waiting in the wings.

even a sometimes unpredic-
table one, is more attractive
to PACs than betting their
money on a long-shot
challenger — especially
when the incumbent
happens to be the Senate
minority leader.

A Compromise
For Loan Guarantees?

A member of Knesset was
on Capitol hill recently for
meetings with 20 legislators
and staffers on his in-
novative plan for resolving
the deadlock over loan guar-
antees for Israel.
Yoash Tsiddon, a member
of Knesset from the right-
wing Tsomet party, is urging
that the money from U.S.
banks be issued to in-
vestment banks in Israel,
not to the Jerusalem
government. Those banks
would then invest in job-
creating private industries

and privately owned
utilities.
It's an idea that should
warm the hearts of Repub-
licans in this country —
which helps explain why Mr.
Tsiddon was ushered around
town by the National Jewish
Coalition, a group of Jewish
Republicans.
"That is a solution that
could help defuse the situa-
tion," he said. "Instead of
having Bush quarrel with
Shamir, this would be a way
of providing the money
