Lester Pollack, chairman of
the Conference of Presidents
of Major American Jewish
Organizations; Malcolm
Hoenlein, the umbrella
group's executive vice
chairman; Melvin Salberg,
national chairman of the
Anti-Defamation League;
and Abraham Foxman,
ADL's national director.
According to Pollack, who
served as the delegation's
spokesman, Christopher
said the peace process was
movino- along, as demon-
stratedby
6 the fact that •en-
voy Dennis Ross was in the
region.
Pollack said Christopher
also pledged the administra-
tion would continue pushing
Arab countries to end their
economic boycott. The
boycott affects both Israel
and companies doing busi-
ness with the Jewish state.
The secretary expressed
optimism that positive de-
velopments would occur
before the next Arab League
meeting, where Arab coun-
tries are possibly set to add
more companies to the
boycott list.
On the topic of U.S. loan
guarantees to Israel, the sec-
retary said that the United
States and Israel were try-
ing to work out a way to
redefine legislative re-
quirements that resulted in
the United States slapping a
$437 million penalty on
Israel's second installment
of $2 billion in loan guar-
antees.
Under terms of legislation
agreed to by the two coun-
tries, the penalty reflects the
amount Israel spent in Jew-
ish settlements in the ad-
ministered territories in the
previous year.
During the meeting,
Christopher also expressed
concern about Iran's support
for terrorist activities.
In addition, Pollack said,
the four Jewish officials ex-
pressed concern about
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization statements that they
feel undercut the peace pro-
cess, including comments
about the status of
Jerusalem and about Pales-
tinian statehood.
Christopher said the ad-
ministration had brought
this issue to the attention of
the PLO, and that the ad-
ministration has not seen a
continuation of such PLO
statements recently.
The issue of Israeli
technology sales to China
did not come up in either
meeting, participants said.
Participants in the morn-
ing meeting did not com-
ment on the specifics
discussed. ❑
