D.C. 20090 Pollard Turns 40, Supporters Gear Up New York (JTA) — As Jonathan Pollard turned 40, supporters of the American Jew who spied for Israel were gearing up for sever- al more rounds in the struggle to release him from his life sentence. To mark his birthday, the more than 350 chapters of Citi- zens for Justice for Jonathan Pol- lard held rallies and letter-writing campaigns across the country. They are seeking clemency for the former Navy intelligence an- alyst who was arrested in 1985 and sentenced in 1987. The campaign has recently garnered support from Hollywood celebrities, as well as from the leadership of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. On the legal front, meanwhile, Mr. Pollard's supporters are con- sidering a new appeal. And they have just received what they are taking as a sign that President Clinton may be open to recon- sidering clemency for Mr. Pollard. Mr. Clinton turned down a clemency request in March, say- ing his decision reflected "the grave nature" of Mr. Pollard's of- fense and "the considerable dam- age that his actions caused our nation." But Carol Pollard, who has been leading the fight for her brother's freedom as the head of Citizens for Justice, says a sup- porter recently received a letter from the White House that gave a glimmer of hope. According to Carol Pollard, White House Counsel Lloyd Cut- ler wrote that Mr. Clinton's de- nial of clemency was based on "the best information at that time." In a telephone interview from her home in Connecticut, Carol Pollard described the tone of the letter as much more positive than that found in previous letters from the White House. She said she interpreted the letter as an indication that Mr. Clinton is open to reconsidering his decision. She said the Cutler letter in- dicated that in order to review the decision, Mr. Pollard must sub- mit a renewed clemency request. Carol Pollard said that she and her brother's lawyers plan to do so immediately. She attributed the change of heart in the Clinton administra- tion to the fact that rather than going away, the Pollard cam- paign has only gathered strength. Among the latest to sign on to a request for commuting Mr. Pol- lard's sentence to time served are Jon Voight, Jack Lemmon, Whoopi Goldberg, Gregory Peck, Barbara Hershey, Mery Adelson and Roddy McDowell. Also in Los Angeles, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, has been active on Mr. Pollard's behalf. Rabbi Cooper recently wrote to Mr. Clinton, suggesting that the Washington Declaration of non-belligerency between Jordan and Israel signaled an occasion for "the leadership of the Jewish community" to reiterate its call "to re-evaluate the case of Jonathan Pollard." Mr. Voight, the actor, recently wrote a letter to Mr. Pollard, de- scribing how he had been in close touch with Rabbi Cooper. He also said he had met Mr. Pollard's family. Urging Mr. Pollard to main- Mr. Pollard last suffered legal defeat in March 1992. taro his "will to live," Mr. Voight wrote: "My dream is that your energy will be interwoven into the energy of men like Moses, and it would be like a ray of sun- shine. When the sun shines, this en- ergy will shine upon the new chil- dren of the universe." Meanwhile, Lester Pollack and Malcolm Hoenlein, chairman and executive vice chairman, respec- tively, of the Conference of Pres- idents, last month visited Mr. Pollard at his Buttner, N.C., prison. It was the first visit by the Conference of Presidents. Carol Pollard, who speaks of- ten with her brother on the tele- phone, said he thought the visit went well. "He thanked them for any help they can give him, and also thanked any (member) organi- zations that have been support- ive," she said. "It was just a get-together. They wanted to come on a humanitarian visit." Meanwhile, Mr. Pollard's lawyers are planning a new legal strategy, according to his sister. While she would not disclose details, Carol Pollard said that "new material" that could provide grounds to reopen the case has surfaced in the past nine months. Mr. Pollard last suffered legal defeat in March 1992, when an appellate court found there were not sufficient gmi.mds to overturn his sentence, a decision based in
