Commitment to Excellence'

Located on 12 Mile, West of Greenfield Road

New York (JTA) — Phil Baum,
associate executive director of the
American Jewish Congress, has
been named the group's new ex-
ecutive director.
Mr. Baum has been acting as
executive director since April,
when Henry Siegman, who held
that position for 16 years, retired
at the age of 65.
In announcing the appoint-
ment, David Kahn, AJCongress
president called Mr. Baum "a
brilliant civil rights and civil lib-
erties lawyer, an astute foreign
affairs analyst and a committed
Jew who embodies the best that
the AJCongress has to offer the
American Jewish community."
A Chicago native, Mr. Baum

The 70-year-old Mr.
Baum is the author
of numerous 'white
papers.'

in the coming years.
According to Mr. Baum, since
Israel is growing increasingly
stronger, AJCongress will now
serve "not merely as an advocate
but as a partner."
Mr. Baum compared the past,
in which "Israel needed our help,"
with the present, in which "we
are Jews with a common per-
spective."
Now AJCongress can pay
more attention to domestic con-
cerns, he added.
Commenting on AJCongress'
historical reputation for sup-
porting liberal causes, Mr. Baum
asserted that the organization
would continue in that tradition.
"If anything, we will extend
and deepen our emphasis on lib-
eral causes," he said.

attended Northwestern Univer-
sity and the University of Chica-
go and graduated from the
University of Chicago Law
School, where he was an editor of
the law review.
During World War II he served
with the U.S. Army Air Corps in
New Guinea and the Philippines.
Mr. Baum's involvement with
AJCongress began in 1948, when
he joined as an attorney with the
Commission on Law and Social
Action.
He became senior staff coun-
sel, and in one high-profile case,
he helped win a landmark libel
suit against Conde McGinley,
publisher of a notorious hate
sheet called "Common Sense."
The 70-year-old Mr. Baum is
the author of numerous "white
papers," studies and reports pub-
lished by AJCongress on Middle
East issues, including the Arab
boycott of Israel, as well as sub-
jects such as anti-Semitism and
ultra-nationalism in Germany.
In recent years, he was a mem-
ber of AJCongress missions that
met with King Hassan of Moroc-
co, King Hussein of Jordan, Pres-
ident Hosni Mubarak of Egypt
and the foreign minister and oth-
er ranking members of the Sau-
di Arabian government.
Mr. Kahn acknowledged that
the new executive director "has
been at the center of our organi-
zation's most significant achieve-
ments over the years.'
Noting that there have been
"big changes" in the world, Mr.
Baum said in an interview that
he anticipated a "somewhat dif-
ferent direction" for AJCongress

Jerusalem
`Is Not Golan'

Jerusalem (JTA) — Foreign Min-
ister Shimon Peres reiterated this
week that when and if an agree-
ment is reached with Syria on the
Golan Heights, it would be sub-
mitted for a referendum to the Is-
raeli public.
He also said the Golan could
not be compared to Jerusalem,
which is the "heart of Jewish life,"
belongs to Israel and would nev-
er be divided.
He said there was no place for
Palestinian sovereignty over
Palestinian parts of Jerusalem.
`Jerusalem is politically closed
and religiously open," he said dur-
ing a briefing of reporters from
the Diaspora Jewish media.
He expressed similar views a
day earlier, via a satellite brief-
ing at the Israeli Consulate in
New York for the Conference of
Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations.
With regard to the Golan, Mr.
Peres said, "I don't know if the
Golan is ours or not. At least two
times [in the past] the govern-
ment said it is not ours."
The foreign minister said he
believed that support for the
peace process among Diaspora
Jews is increasing every day.
He defended the interim au-
tonomy arrangements with the
Palestinians in the face of charges
they should be abandoned in fa-
vor of permanent agreements. He
said it is important to improve re-
lations first.
"To draw frontiers on current
relations would go nowhere," he
said. "I prefer a calendar to a
map."
Mr. Peres also cited the dan-
gers of Muslim fundamentalism
in the region.
