They never saw this as some-
thing having overwhelming
support."
That view was reinforced by
a recent membership survey by
the National Jewish Democra-
tic Council, which showed Mr.
Pollard's case was near the bot-
tom of Jewish Democrats' list of
political priorities.
Mr. Reich agreed that the
public battle within the Pollard
movement over the question of
whether he was remorseful for
having broken the law also hurt
the clemency drive. Late last
year, a highly public dispute
arose when Rabbi Avi Weiss,

"It was very
unfortunate that
Clinton made this
statement on eve of
Passover. A nice
Passover gift."

Mr. Pollard's rabbi and one of
his most vocal supporters, sug-
gested that the convicted spy
was uncomfortable with a let-
ter he had written earlier in
which he expressed strong re-
morse.
"Some of his supporters shot
him in the foot," Mr. Reich said,
without being specific. "The ef-
fort to portray him as a hero
was damaging. It's clear that
the administration was getting
some mixed messages on this."
The recent arrest of CIA offi-
cial Aldrich Ames on charges of
spying for Russia and the for-
mer Soviet Union also con-
tributed to a political
atmosphere that worked
against clemency.
"It created an aura, and at-
mosphere of anger about spy-
ing that made commutation
very difficult for the president,"
Mr. Reich said.
Other observers suggest that
the president's weakened posi-
tion stemming from the ongo-
ing Whitewater scandal made
it harder for Mr. Clinton to un-
dertake any political risks by of-
fering clemency.
Morris Pollard, Jonathan's
father, agreed with that as-
sessment.
"Clinton is in real political dif-
ficulties now," he said. "I sus-
pect he just caved in. I see a real
relationship between these
events."
But the primary reason for
the decision, Mr. Pollard said,
"was that the intelligence com-
munity orchestrated a violent
opposition to [Jonathan's] be-
ing released."
Mr. Pollard described his

son's mood when he heard
about the presidential decision:
"He called home, and I asked if
he heard the news. He said
`what news?' When I told him,
he said 'My God, it's another
barrier.' He seemed surprised.
He wasn't bitter — but he was
very disappointed."
But Morris Pollard, the griev-
ing father, did allow himself a
degree of bitterness.
"It was very unfortunate that
Clinton made this statement on
eve of Passover," he said. "A nice
Passover gift."
Attention will now shift to
the issue of parole. Jonathan
Pollard, who pleaded guilty in
1987 to passing highly classi-
fied documents to Israeli offi-
cials, will be eligible for parole
next year. But few prisoners
convicted of spying have been
paroled in the first year of their
eligibility, several lawyers who
have followed the case said.

Americans
Are 'Needed'

Los Angeles (JTA) — Israeli
emissaries have visited the
United States since the
founding of the State of
Israel to exhort American
Jews to make aliyah. But
when retired Maj. Gen. Ori
Orr met with a handful of
potential immigrants at the
local Israel Aliyah Center
recently, his message had a
slightly different twist.
Arriving on the heels of
the massacre in Hebron of at
least 29 Palestinians by
Brooklyn-born Dr. Baruch
Goldstein, Maj. Gen. Orr
wanted to assure his
listeners that despite the
violent extremism of some of
those making aliyah from
the United States, Israel was
still eager to attract more
American immigrants.
Following the Hebron
massacre, attention soon
turned to the fact that many
Israeli extremists, par-
ticularly in the territories,
were American immigrants.
The virulently anti-Arab
Kach movement, and its
founder, the late Rabbi Meir
Kahane, were American im-
ports. His followers included
not only Mr. Goldstein, but
Elliott Goodman, who fired
into a crowd of worshipers at
the El Omar mosque.
Maj. Gen. Orr noted that
while American immigrants
make up only 1 percent of
Israel's total population,
they comprise 10 percent of
West Bank settlers, and pro-
vide the hard core of Kach
activists.
