Museum Chief
Asked To Resign

Washington (JTA) — Just
weeks before the scheduled
opening of the U.S. Holo-
caust Memorial Museum,
the White House has asked
the chairman and vice
chairman of the museum's
council to leave their posts.
Both the chairman of the
U.S. Holocaust Memorial
Council, Baltimore builder
Harvey Meyerhoff, and the
vice chairman, San Fran-
cisco businessman William
Lowenberg, have been asked
to remain until April 30.
The museum's dedication
ceremonies are scheduled for
April 22, and it will open to
the public on April 26.
The council serves as a de-
velopment arm of the muse-
um, which was constructed
with over $150 million in
private funds. Though built
with private funds, however,
the museum stands on do-
nated public land and is in
the process of being turned
over to the U.S. government.
Sources said Mr.
Meyerhoff has been devoted
to the museum, and had con-
tributed approximately $6
million toward its construc-
tion.
"Mr. Lowenberg and I ful-
ly understand and respect
the president's desire to ap-
point new council leader-
ship," Meyerhoff said in a
statement Sunday. "We will
continue to work with the
White House and the new
leadership to ensure a
smooth transition and suc-
cessful start-up of museum
operations."
Mr. Meyerhoff said he and
Mr. Lowenberg were asked
to remain on the council
after they step down from
their posts.
Both Mr. Meyerhoff and
Mr. Lowenberg, like the
other 50-plus members of the
council, were presidential
appointees named by
previous Republican ad-
ministrations. Many of them
expected to be replaced at
some point by the Clinton
administration.
But the idea of dismissing
the two officials just weeks
before the museum's open-
ing struck some as strange
timing.
Rep. Sidney Yates, D-Ill.,
who is on the Holocaust
council and also serves as
chairman of the subcom-
mittee that appropriates
money for the museum, said
he had heard there was

Meyerhoff as council chair-
man.
"I'm told there is"
pressure, Mr. Yates said.
But he said he did not know
the source of the pressure.
"I anticipated he'd be
replaced," Mr. Yates said of
Mr. Meyerhoff, "but I didn't
think it would happen so
soon. There was no need for
this kind of immediate
replacement."
Sources said that the
White House also called off,
or, at least, put on hold, a
search for a new director for
the museum.
The council had set up a
search committee and hired
an executive search firm to
look for a replacement for
current director Jeshajahu
Weinberg, who came out of
retirement to serve as direc-
tor and is not expected to
stay much longer in his post.
"Regardless of what the
White House says, the sear-

Mr. Meyerhoff
contributed funds
for the museum's
construction.

ch should continue," said
Mr. Yates, who is on the
search committee.
Malcolm MacKay, manag-
ing director of Russell
Reynolds Associates, the
firm retained by the muse-
um to search for a director,
called the search committee
"totally non-partisan" in its
attitudes.
He said he was not sure
why the White House would
call the search to a halt at
this point. "We have several
very good candidates," he
said. "I'd hate to see it lost."
Mr. Yates said the com-
mittee has been searching
for "months," and that one
of the latest candidates
under consideration for the
director's post was Washing-
ton-based scholar Walter
Reich.

And so man, too, has his own
place. Then why do people
sometimes feel so crowded?
Because each wants the
other's place.
—Rabbi Yaacov of
