While Mr. Perry does not have a high-profile image on Middle East issues and some observers here were not clear about his record on Israel, others praised Mr. Perry this week for his at- titude toward the Jewish state. Mr. Clinton chose Mr. Perry to replace outgoing Defense Secretary Les Aspin, after retired admiral Bobby Ray Inman, the pres- ident's first choice, pulled himself out of consideration last week. Israeli officials here de- scribed Mr. Perry, 66, as pro- fessional, fair-minded and efficient on U.S.-Israeli issues. One former high-ranking Pentagon official said Mr. Perry would bring to his new post a "positive force and a continuation of Mr. Aspin's positive attitudes" toward Israel. Dov Zakheim, an adjunct scholar at the Heritage Foundation who served as a Pentagon deputy undersecretary during the Reagan administration, said Mr. Perry "in professional terms is certainly not anti- Israel by any stretch of the imagination." He mentioned that Mr. Perry had recently attended a concert at the Israeli Em- bassy. Mr. Zakheim said that Mr. Perry, a high-technology specialist, is aware of the importance to Israel of U.S.-Israeli technology coop- eration and other defense cooperation. Israeli officials said they had positive dealings with Mr. Perry this past year on the touchy issue of possible changes in how Israel buys its military equipment from the United States. And the officials said that embassy and Israeli defense officials had also thought well of Mr. Perry during his previous stint at the Pen- tagon during the Carter ad- ministration. Mr. Perry is "well- regarded as a capable man- ager within the Pentagon," said James Colbert, director of communications for the Jewish Institute for Nation- al Security Affairs. Malcolm Hoenlein, ex- ecutive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, said he felt Mr. Perry would "carry out the policies of Les Aspin." Mr. Aspin has long been viewed by Jewish organiza- tions as a staunch supporter of Israel. Mr. Inman, Clinton's previous nominee, had clashed with pro-Israel New York Times columnist Wil- liam Safire over policies relating to Israel during the Reagan administration, when Mr. Inman was a high- ranking CIA official. Among the reasons Mr. Inman gave for his decision to withdraw last week was what he considered unfair criticism from Mr. Safire and other columnists. Mr. Perry, who holds a doctorate in mathematics, was sworn in as deputy sec- retary last March. He previously served as undersecretary of defense for research and engineering from 1977 to 1981. He was also a professor at Stanford University's engi- neering school and held high positions in technology- related companies in California's Silicon Valley. Mr. Perry is not expected to have trouble in upcoming Senate confirmation hear- ings. Madagascar Renews Ties Washington (JTA) — In an- other addition to Israel's growing network of diplo- matic ties, Israel re- established relations this week with Madagascar, a large African island nation in the Indian Ocean. The two countries' ambas- sadors to Washington held a ceremony at the Israeli Em- bassy here and released a joint communique stating that Israel and Madagascar "have decided to re-establish diplomatic relations at am- bassadorial level from today, the 27th of January 1994." The two countries have not had diplomatic relations since 1973. 0
