A rles

Sen. Kennedy:
On Jewish emigration.

Redistricting will also cost
the important New York
delegation between one and
three Jewish represent-
atives.
All of this is complicated
by the bad-check scandal
that has struck fear into the
hearts of dozens of legis-
lators.
The check scandal could
compound the redistricting
woes of several Jewish stars
in the House, including Rep.
Larry Smith, D-Fla., and
Rep. Stephen Solarz, D-N.Y.
The bottom line? Because
of a variety of factors, almost
one third of the Jews in the
House are leaving, or face
new, longer odds in 1992.
This prospect has produced
deep anxiety among leading
pro-Israel activists here.

T

his will be a difficult
political year for the
Jewish community. In
addition to a presidential
race that has done little to
inspire Jewish voters, a po-
tent brew of retirements,
redistricting and rubber
checks may seriously
decimate Jewish representa-
tion in the House and
Senate.
In a worse case scenario,
10 of the 34 Jews in the
House of Representatives
could be gone next January.
These include the following
four seats:
Rep. John Miller, R-Wash.,
and Rep. Bill Lehman, D-
Fla., who are retiring volun-
tarily. And Rep. Mel Levine
and Rep. Barbara Boxer, two
California Democrats who
are seeking the seat being
vacated by Sen. Alan
Cranston.
Redistricting is a bad
dream that just won't end for
Jewish politicos. With more
and more Jews abandoning
high-density, urban
enclaves, Jewish representa-
tion in places like New York
and Detroit is giving way to
representation by other
minorities.
As a result, such Jewish
stalwarts as Rep. Sandy
Levin, D-Mich., are seriously
endangered. And this week,
Rep. Howard Wolpe, D-
Mich., faced with an uphill
reelection bid after a court-
imposed redistricting plan,
announced his retirement.

Was President George
Bush genuinely dismayed by
Jews' reaction to his hard-
ball position on Israel's $10
billion in loan guarantees?
Or is the president now
looking ahead to a tight elec-
tion in November, when
even nominal support from
Jews might be the margin of
victory?
That's the big question as
Washington digests letters
that were exchanged about
two weeks ago between Mr.
Bush and a top Jewish sup-
porter.
In his initial letter, George
Klein expressed dismay over
the recent deterioration in
U.S.-Israeli relations. Jew-
ish Republican sources said

Mr. Klein had taken a
chance by sending his letter
since the fear was that the
president would reply with a
simple "thank you" that
would exacerbate the
perception that the White
House has abandoned Jews.
But the risk paid off — at
least in the eyes of some
Jewish Republicans. In a
letter dated March 19, the
president reiterated his op-
position to Jewish set-
tlements in the West Bank.
But he also expressed his
hope that Administration
and Jewish leaders could do
a better job of making the
U.S.-Israeli relationship
work.
