WERE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE

Washington (JTA) — A U.S.
congressman and some
members of the Jewish
community have called on
President Clinton to
withdraw the nomination of
Strobe Talbott to be deputy
secretary of state, saying
Mr. Talbott is anti-Israel.
But the sense among
others in the organized Jew-
ish community is that while
there are some questions
about Mr. Talbott's writings
on Israel during the years he
served as a Time magazine
correspondent, there will not
be a concerted effort to fight
his nomination.
In addition, some Jewish
officials have had warm
praise for Mr. Talbott's ac-
tions in his current capacity
as the State Department's
ambassador-at-large with a
special focus on the former
Soviet Union.
In late December, the pres-
ident picked Mr. Talbott, an
old friend, for the key No. 2
slot at the State Depart-
ment.
Rep. Jim Saxton, R-N.J.,
and Mort Klein, president of
the Zionist Organization of
America, held a press con-
ference where they called for
the withdrawal of Mr.
Talbott's nomination.
"It concerns me that the
Clinton administration
would put forth a name for
this position when Talbott
clearly has a documented
anti-Israel bias," Mr. Sax-
ton, who is seen as pro-
Israel, said in a statement.
"He has, over many years,
demonstrated a lack of
understanding for the
threats that Israel faces, and
tends to view Israel as the
prime source of most prob-
lems in the Middle East,"
Mr. Klein said in his state-
ment.
Mr. Klein released a paper
quoting from Mr. Talbott's
writings on the Middle East
during the period 1981 to
1991, when Mr. Talbott
worked for Time.
One passage he cited, from
an article in the Sept. 7,
1981, issue of Time, read: "If
Israel continues to take
international law into its
own hands as violently —
and as embarrassingly to the
U.S. — as it did in Baghdad
and Beirut, then the next
display of U.S. displeasure
. . . might include selective
cutbacks in American
military aid."
The article appeared short-

ly after Israel dropped a
bomb on an Iraqi nuclear
reactor.
The National Jewish Co-
alition, a group promoting
Jewish Republican activity,
also criticized Mr. Talbott
for his views on Israel.
The Republican group bas-
ed its criticism on Mr.
Talbott's writings in Time,
and on published criticism of
Mr. Talbott in the Near East
Report, a publication put out
by the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee.
The comments in the Near

Top policy expert on Russia.

East Report were published
before Mr. Talbott entered
government service.
"We have every confidence
that Ambassador Talbott
will be fully supportive of
the policies of the Clinton
administration that have
strengthened the U.S.-Israel
relationship and have
enhanced prospects for Mid-
dle East peace," said Steve
Grossman, president of
AIPAC.
Others in the Jewish
community, however, said
that while they had some
concern about Mr. Talbott's
past writings, they had
heard that in more recent
months he had changed his
views somewhat on Middle
East issues.
A Russia specialist, Mr.
Talbott has been closely in-
volved in U.S.-Russian rela-
tions in his current State
Department post. His new
position will bring him into
contact with a broader range
of issues.
