as it policy, or was it a
gaffe? That's what
pro-Israel activists
here are asking after
the controversial presidential
response to the flare-up of vio-
lence in Lebanon.
In his early statements, Pres-
ident Clinton called on Israel
and the Hezbollah guerrillas to
halt the escalating violence. In
the same breath, he praised
Syrian "restraint."
The only problem with that,
as Jewish legislators quickly
pointed out, is that Hezbollah
would not be much of a fighting
force without help from Syria,
which facilitates the flow of
arms from the "Party of God's"
primary backers, the militant
Islamic government of Iran.
Jewish leaders spent a fran-
tic few days trying to educate
the White House on just that
point. And Jewish groups
stressed that Syria's indirect
role in the new round of violence
threatened the peace process,
and that any perceived U.S. tilt
towards Damascus would un-
dercut the Rabin government's
efforts to hold together the pro-
negotiations consensus in Is-
rael.

W

The president heard a simi-
lar message from some State
Department officials, who wor-
ried that his praise of Syria
would be misunderstood
throughout the Mideast.
By the end of the week, Jew-
ish leaders privately expressed
satisfaction that the White
House had learned a few
lessons from the incident.
"The White House has been
in constant communication
with us since this began," said
Malcolm Hoenlein, executive
vice chair of the Conference of
Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations.
"It has made it clear that the
Jewish community's efforts had
a direct impact on the presi-
dent's understanding of the ef-
fect of the words he used
regarding Syria."
"There was alarm at first,"
said another Jewish leader.
"But by the end of the week, we
were pretty certain that the
president's comments were
more of a gaffe than a change of
policy. We successfully fur-
thered the president's educa-
tion on these topics, and found
the administration very re-
sponsive to our efforts."

Hard Times For AIPAC

The American Israel Public Af-
fairs Committee (AIPAC) con-
tinues to try to right itself after
the forced resignation of its
longtime executive director
Tom Dine, and in the face of a
worrisome financial shortfall.
AIPAC, say knowledgeable
sources, needs to slash month-
ly spending by about $100,000.
Last week, AIPAC's profes-
sional leadership and some key
lay leaders met in intensive
budget sessions, looking for
places to cut that would not di-
minish its presence on Capitol
Hill or weaken its extensive
grass roots network.
Between eight to 12 positions
will reportedly be eliminated,
either by layoffs or attrition.
The changes are intended to
produce a leaner, more effective
pro-Israel lobby.
'We're carefully looking at
our financial resources...," said
AIPAC president Steven Gross-
man. The organization's top
echelon, he said, is "engaged in
a complete review of the staffing
with a view to prudent man-
agement."

sources say AIPAC's recent ef-
fective lobbying implies that it
is coping effectively with a
daunting series of setbacks. But
others worry that a combina-
tion of factors — including Mr.
Dine's ouster; the fact that
AIPAC's top lobbyist, Ester
Kurz, is on temporary leave;
and the group's financial prob-
lems — could make it more dif-
ficult for AIPAC to marshal
sufficient resources for the
