no circumstances should he be
permitted to return to a normal
life here in the United States.
He lied on his original applica-
tion for an immigration visa
about his Nazi background and
collaboration, and he continues
to perpetuate those lies, which
disqualifies him under any
standard from having his U.S.
citizenship restored.
The case against him in the
United States was proven by
clear and convincing evidence
after years of legal proceedings,
during which Demjanjuk re-
ceived more due process than
he had any right to receive —
justice he could only receive in
a great country like the United
States.
But this country also owes

Pollard Supporters
Go To The Hill
Washington (JTA) — Sup-
porters of clemency for con-
victed spy Jonathan Pollard
have mounted a campaign to
attract backers on Capitol
Hill.
Mr. Pollard's sister, Carol
Pollard, held a briefing last
week on Capitol Hill, at-
tended by several members
of Congress and several
dozen congressional staffers,
during which she urged sup-
port for a commutation of
her brother's life sentence.
Also present in the au-
dience was Capitol Hill ex-
pert Thomas Dine, the
former executive director of
the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee, who is
working with Mr. Pollard's
supporters.
Mr. Pollard, a former
civilian Navy intelligence
analyst, was convicted in
1986 of espionage for Israel
and is currently in the
eighth year of a life
sentence.
His supporters feel his
punishment is excessive and
have filed a petition asking
the administration to review
the controversial case and
grant him clemency.
The Aug. 3 briefing was
organized by four Pollard
supporters in the House of
Representatives: Reps.
Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.,
Gary Ackerman, D-N.Y., Il-
eana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla.,
and Peter King, R-N.Y.
An aide to Mr. Schumer
said that the congressman
had discussed the Pollard

case in a recent meeting
with Attorney General
Janet Reno, and that she
had told him the department
was taking a look at the
issue.
Carol Pollard argued at
the briefing that her
brother's sentence was
"disproportionate in the ex-
treme to others who spied for
allies, or even enemies, of
the United States."
Commuting Jonathan
Pollard's sentence, she said,
would close an "unhealed
wound" between the United
States and Israel. ❑
