tough legislative battles ahead.
In a sidebar to the AIPAC
story, Tom Dine received a
grand sendoff from an all-star
group of congressional leaders
recently. The idea for the
Capitol Hill party originated
with Rep. Howard Berman D-
Calif., a leading pro-Israel
voice in the House.
The list of co-sponsors re-
flected Mr. Dine's prestige on
Capitol Hill: House and Senate
majority leaders Richard A.
Gephardt, D-Mo. and George
Mitchell, D-Me. and house mi-
nority whip, Newt Gingrich, R-
Ga.
Also lending their names to
the invitation were Reps. Lee
Hamilton, D-Ind., Helen Delich
Bentley, R-Md. and Connie
Morella, R-Md. and Sens. Carl
Levin, D-Mich. and Alfonse M.
D'Amato, R-N.Y.

When it comes to passing a for-
eign aid package complete with
Israel's annual $3.2 billion al-
lotment, the game isn't over un-
til the president signs his name
on a final bill.
Jewish troops on Capitol Hill
were reminded of this when
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., sig-
naled that he would try to elim-
inate the "earmarks" that have
traditionally protected high lev-
els of aid to Israel and Egypt
from across-the-board cuts.
In response, Jewish activists
around the country called key
members of Mr. Leahy's ap-
propriations subcommittee on
foreign operations, which will

August recess. AIPAC did a
full-court press on the commit-
tee, backed by a number of oth-
er Jewish organizations. And
committee member, Sen. Bar-
bara Mikulski D-Md., told Mr.
Leahy that axing the earmarks
would disrupt the fragile
Mideast peace talks.
The administration also lob-

Early this week, there were
signs that Mr. Leahy had re-
treated — at least for now. But
pro-Israel forces are taking no
chances. They plan to use the
