Washington (JTA) — In a
move hailed by the Jewish
community, the Clinton ad-
ministration has ordered the
first government study on
what effect the Arab econ-
omic boycott against Israel
is having on U.S. companies.
The U.S. trade represent-
ative, Mickey Kantor, last
week asked the U.S. Inter-
national Trade Commission
to conduct a "carefully
researched assessment of the
impact of the boycott on U.S.
firms."
The United States
historically has concerned
itself with the boycott's
negative impact on Israel.
This action focuses attention
on how the boycott affects
U.S. trade.
The so-called primary
boycott affects trade with
Israel directly, barring econ-
omic dealings between Israel
and Arab states, other than
Egypt.
The secondary and tertiary
boycotts affect U.S. com-

Rep. Charles Schumer,
D-N.Y., chairman of a con-
gressional task force on the
boycott, said in a statement
that the report "could very
possibly lead to U.S. trade
retaliation against countries
enforcing the boycott."
Mr. Kantor's letter asks
the trade commission to
analyze how the boycott af-
fects U.S. businesses in
three ways: lost sales and
business opportunities in
Arab League countries, in-
creased transportation costs
resulting from the boycott,
and investment diverted
from U.S. businesses be-
cause of their association
with Israel.
