ifying to Jewish activists
were the results of a behind-
the-scenes effort to protect
funds for the Office of Refu-
gee Resettlement (ORR), an
agency that jointly works
with voluntary groups to
resettle refugees from
around the world, including
the former Soviet Union.
For months, the Council of
Jewish Federations, the A-
merican Jewish Committee,
the New York Association
for New Americans, HIAS
and other Jewish groups
fought cuts that would have
crippled the matching grant
programs that have been a
key to resettling Soviet
Jews in the U.S.
Last week, a compromise
version of the measure fund-
ed ORR at $381 million —
less than most Jewish activ-
ists wanted, but more than
they expected.
Another measure that
could affect Jews from the
ex-Soviet Union passed as
part of the foreign aid bill —
a two-year extension of the
Lautenberg Amendment, a
measure that clarifies stan-
dards for assigning refugee
status to certain groups, in-
cluding Jews from the for-
mer USSR.
This could be a critical
safety valve for Jews if con-
ditions in that part of the
world deteriorate.
The news was not as good
on the administration's pro-
posed sale of 72 F-15 jet air-
craft to Saudi Arabia.
Despite several
"resolutions of disapproval"
introduced near the end of
the session, Congress show-
ed little interest in stopping
the sale —whiCh the White
House said was the only
thing standing between
thousands of aerospace
workers and the unemploy-
ment lines.
Rep. Howard Berman, D-
Calif., and Rep. David Obey,
D- Wis., urged their col-
leagues to block the sale be-
cause it could contribute to
another deadly Middle East
arms race. Other legislators
hoped to link the sale to a
Saudi decision to repudiate
the Arab boycott against Is-
rael.
But in the end, there was
almost no interest in block-
ing the sale only weeks be-
fore the election.
With no legal impedi-
ments now existing regard-
ing the F-15 deal, Rep.
Wayne Owens is circulating
a letter that asks the White
House to impose some addi-
tional conditions on the sale
and to provide legislators
with an exact accounting of
what equipment will be of-
fered on the F-15s.
The letter also demands
regular updates to Congress
on what is being done to get
the Saudis to drop the eco-
nomic boycott against Isra-
el.
Several Jewish groups, led
by the National Council of
Jewish Women, also lost the
battle to overturn the ad-
ministration's "gag rule,"
the regulation that bans
abortion counseling in
federally funded clinics.
Both houses passed
measures lifting the ban.
But late last week, the
House failed by 10 votes to
override a presidential veto.
"This will have an im-
mediate impact on women's
lives," said Sammie Mo-
shenberg, Washington di-
rector for NCJW. "The ram-
ifications of censoring the
speech of medical profes-
sionals are very dangerous."
Congress also could not
override another bill that
many Jewish groups sup-
ported: President Bush's
veto of the family and medi-
cal leave act. The measure
would have provided unpaid
leave for workers with fami-
ly emergencies.
