Jews Are Targets
Of Budget Blitz
r, Washington (JTA) — With
President Clinton's econ-
omic plan now before a
House-Senate conference
committee, the White House
has been engaging in a high-
energy media blitz, in-
cluding conference calls with
the Jewish and other ethnic
press, to sell the package to
the American public.
Most Jewish groups sup-
port the majority of the pro-
>posals in Clinton's deficit
reduction plan, announced
in his State of the Union ad-
dress last February.
But Mr. Clinton's plan
only squeaked by in both
chambers of Congress, and
, the president, who promised
to focus "like a laser beam"
on the economy, needs a vic-
tory on this issue as the
House-Senate conferees try
to hammer out a reconcilia-
tion package.
High-level administration
officials, including the pres-
ident, Vice President Al
Gore, Treasury Secretary
Lloyd Bentsen, Counselor
David Gergen and National
Economic Council Chairman
'2obert Rubin, have been
briefing selected groups of
i- eporters on the Clinton
/package.
, The overall message, as
expressed by Mr. Rubin in a
July 22 briefing that was
part of an all-day session for
New York and New Jersey
iedia, is that the country is
)at an "economic crossroads,"
and there will be
"horrendous consequences"
if the bill is not adopted.
The House version of the
bill is viewed as more liberal
than the Senate version.
And one Jewish organiza-
tion, the American Jewish
i.,-,
,ongress, has written a
letter to Senate Finance
(Committee Chairman
Daniel Patrick Moynihan,
D-N.Y., urging that the con-
ference committee adopt the
House version of a number of
acial programs.
' AJCongress President
Robert Lifton wrote to Mr.
Moynihan explaining that
AJCongress supports the
higher funding found in the
House bill for the earned in-
come tax credit for the work-
ing poor, for childhood hun-
ger relief provisions and for
'childhood immunization
rograms.
The American Jewish
Jommittee is also sending
etters to House and Senate
onferees backing certain

social provisions found in
the House version of the bill.
In a July 21 conference call
with representatives of the
Jewish media, Mr. Rubin
was not specific about which
funding levels the president
would find acceptable. But
he said Mr. Clinton was
"very sympathetic" to the
whole set of social service
programs, and sought to
maintain adequate funding
for them.
He also would not offer
specifics on funding for refu-
gee programs, another issue
of concern to Jewish groups.
Mr. Clinton, for his part,
told the New York and New
Jersey area reporters last
week that both the House
and Senate versions
"dramatically increase the
earned income tax credit."
Mr. Rubin said that the
White House was engaging
in its media outreach cam-
paign because "our oppo-
nents have been more effec-
tive in defining" the econ-
omic plan in recent months.
While the plan received
popular support when it was
announced in February, he
said, reaction to it has
changed since then.
White House Counselor
Gergen offered a reason for
the change of heart.
Having spent years hear-
ing numbers and figures
that turned out to be inac-
curate, and listening to
deficit reduction plans that
were "overblown and over-
sold," Mr. Gergen said, "the
American public" has
become "cynical about
deficit reduction."
