HHS Plan
Is Scrapped

/-

Washington (JTA) — Refu-
gees, including Jews from
the former Soviet Union, can
breathe a little easier now
that the U.S. government
has pulled back from plans
to reduce their financial and
medical assistance.
Because of budget cuts, the
government had planned to
shorten the time during
which refugees who had
come to the United States
were eligible for assistance.
The time period for el-
igibility would have been
reduced from eight months
to five.
But after advocates for the
refugee population
intervened, the Health and
Human Services Depart-
ment decided last week to
seek additional funding to
continue the program on its
eight- month basis.
Among the groups speak-
ing out on the refugees'
behalf were the Council of
Jewish Federations and the
Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society. Catholic and
Lutheran organizations
were also involved.
Mark Talisman, director of
CJF's Washington office,
said he had "long conversa-
tions" with HHS Secretary
Donna Shalala, whom he
has known since they were
teen-agers, seeking a way to
fund the program.
"She worked a miracle,"
Mr. Talisman said of Ms.
Shalala's efforts. He added
that it would have been a
"financial and moral catas-
trophe" had the program
been cut back.
Arnold Leibowitz, Wash-
ington counsel for HIAS,
estimated that the decision
will affect 80,000 to 90,000
refugees.
New York's two senators,
Republican Alfonse
D'Amato and Democrat
Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
sent a letter earlier this
month to HHS urging a
withdrawal of the resolution
reducing the assistance.
New York is home to many
refugees from the former
Soviet Union.

The quartermaster general
of the Confederate army was
Col. Abraham Charles
Myers, for whom Ft. Myers
in Florida is named. A close
relative of Moses Cohen, the
first rabbi in Charleston,
South Carolina, Myers serv-
ed with Federal troops dur-
ing the Seminole Indian and
Mexican wars, but opted for
the South in 1861.
