Jewish Leaders
Plan Rebuff

New York (JTA) — For the
first time, Saudi Arabia has
invited American Jewish
leaders to attend a holiday
reception at the kingdom's
embassy in Washington.
But many of those invited
do not plan to attend.
Invitations to attend a re-
-' ception last week in honor of
Saudi Arabia's National
Day holiday were extended
to officials of a number of
Jewish organizations, ap-
parently those who met with
the Saudi ambassador,
Prince Bandar Ibn Sultan,
last November.
That meeting, with more
than 60 representatives of
the Conference of Presidents
of Major American Jewish
Organizations and the
American Jewish Congress,
followed four years of pri-
vate talks between the am-
bassador and AJCongress of-
ficials.
But Saudi Arabia's failure
to go beyond goodwill
gestures toward American
Jews and announce substan-
tive policy changes toward
Israel has disappointed Jew-
ish leaders.
As a result, many of those
invited decided not to
attend the reception in
Washington, while others
were undecided.
Phil Baum, associate ex-
ecutive director of the
AJCongress, hailed the in-
vitation as "a good sign, a
sign that they intend to open
up and be available to the
Jewish community. It would
be wrong to just be indif-
ferent to it."
But Mr. Baum said he is
disturbed by the Saudi
failure to drop the Arab
secondary boycott against
firms that do business with
Israel, as well as harsh
comments concerning Israel
that were made last week by
the Saudi ambassador to the
United Nations.
"They have not progressed
as rapidly as they should,"
said Mr. Baum. "Whether
that should be an adequate
reason not to go, we don't
know. In all likelihood, it
will be worthwhile to go, to
intimate to them that more
progress is desirable."
Lawrence Rubin, ex-
ecutive vice chair of the Na-
tional Jewish Community
Relations Advisory Council,
said, "We're not going to be
there."
He said there had been in-
dications last month that
Saudi Arabia would make a
breakthrough statement on
the boycott during a visit
there by James Baker.
