The senator sent a

weeks. The tough-talking let-
ter comes after a series of
dead-ends for congressional
Syrian Jewry supporters.
Late last year, senators
Grassley and Kennedy sent a
letter on Jewish emigration
to the Syrian ambassador in
Washington. Congressional
sources say the Syrian never
replied.
Many members of Con-
gress, with backing from Syr-
ian Jewry groups, are
convinced that the impasse
can't end without a tougher
U.S. role. And Syrian Jewry
activists in Congress want to
counteract what they see as
the administration's focus on
the Mideast peace talks,
which may be keeping the
White House from leaning on
Damascus.
"In a situation where lives
are at stake, nobody likes to
act precipitously," said a con-
gressional source involved in
the discussions. "But you get
to the point where silence is
even riskier. There's a sense
in Congress that we're get-
ting to that point very rapid-

Delegates at the American
Jewish Committee's meeting
were confronted by a Jewish
AIDS activist who offered
emotional personal testimo-
ny about the ravages of the
disease, and about what he
sees as the Jewish communi-
ty's continuing discomfort
with the issue.
Jeff Schaire, a member of
AJC's commission on nation-
al affairs, likened the com-
munity's unwillingness to
confront AIDS to passivity in
the face of the rise of Nazism.
In an interview, he said,
"The Jewish community is
reacting in the same way
most of America is reacting:
by denying that AIDS exists.
That's the same way the Jew-
ish community reacted dur-
ing World War Two."
Both Mr. Schaire and his
partner have AIDS.
The Jewish community, he
told the AJC commission last
week, has not done enough to
push the government for in-
creased AIDS research fund-
ing.
Mr. Schaire's story had a
visible impact on many AJC
delegates, but not the effect
he wanted.
"People are very kind," he
said, "and they're sorry. But
I don't want them to say 'I'm
sorry' any more. I want them
to demand action.
"It's natural to deny hor-
rors that are going on right in
front of your nose... But some-
day this community is going
to look back and they're go-
ing to feel a really deep sense
of shame at their inaction."

Janet Reno
Wows AJC
At the American Jewish
Committee 87th annual
meeting last week in Wash-
ington, Attorney General
Janet Reno's keynote ad-
dress was short on specifics
and ignored the issues at the
top of AJC's agenda.
But she spoke movingly
about her pride in her Dan- K
ish heritage when she first
learned of the rescue of Den-
mark's Jews during World
War Two, and the impact of
her recent participation in a
Washington commemoration
of that event.
The event, she said, "was
my rededication to doing
everything I could do to speak
out against discrimination."
A more downbeat tone was
taken by Harts Silajdzic, the
foreign minister of Bosnia-
Herzogovenia. In an inter-
