Jesse Helms, R-N.C., a staunch supporter of Israel in re- cent years who has also been an outspoken opponent of foreign aid to other nations, will serve as chairman of the Senate Interna- tional Relations Committee, for- merly called the Foreign Relations Committee. Mr. Helms has called the Middle East peace process a "fraud." Rep. Benjamin Gilman, R- N.Y., one of 33 Jews in the new Congress, will be Helms' coun- terpart in the House. Mr. Gilman has strong pro-Israel ties and has consistently championed the cause of aid to Israel. In an effort to ensure his leadership over Mid- dle East policy in the new House, Gilman dissolved the Middle East and Europe Subcommittee. Un- der new Republican rules, Mr. Gilman, as chair of the House In- ternational Relations Commit- tee, would not have been able to chair the subcomittee as well. Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., will chair the Senate Foreign Op- erations Appropriations Sub- committee, which is responsible for writing the actual foreign aid spending bill. Mr. McConnell's proposal to drastically reduce foreign aid, which he unveiled last month, leaves aid to the Middle East in- tact. Rep. Sonny Callahan, R-Ala., will serve as Mr. McConnell's counterpart as chairman of the House Foreign Operations Ap- propriations Subcommittee. Mr. Callahan, who has never voted in favor of a foreign aid bill, could pose problems for foreign assis- tance. But advocates here remain optimistic in light of statements by Mr. Callahan's aide that as chairman he will now "take a hard look at changing his posi- tion" on foreign aid. Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., will rise to head the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugees, a move that many Jewish leaders fear will lead to a cut in the number of immigrants and refugees allowed into the United States each year. Mr. Simpson for years has ad- vocated cutting the numbers of refugees from the former Soviet Union. On the domestic front, the rise of many conservative lawmakers has many in the Jewish commu- nity who champion liberal caus- es worried. Rep. Clay Shaw, R-Fla., will head the House Ways and Means committee responsible for welfare reform. Mr. Shaw will spearhead GOP proposals to end the enti- tlement status for welfare pro- grams, which enables anyone who meets eligibility require- ments to receive benefits. Under Republican proposals, these pro- grams would be subject to the an- nual appropriations process. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, R- ican., will chair the Labor and Human Resources Committee. She will spearhead the welfare reform debates in the Senate. More moderate than her House counterparts, Ms. Kassebaum has expressed reservations about many aspects of the House pro- posals, including those that would cut off aid to children on welfare. Jim Istook, R-Okla., has been tapped as the unofficial school prayer kingpin for the 104th Con- gress . Although moderate Re- publicans are increasing the pressure on the new House Speaker, Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., to shelve the school prayer debate until next year, Mr. Istook has vowed to press ahead for a vote on a constitutional amendment in the House by July 4. On the question of a balanced budget amendment, Mr. Gingrich and other Republican Party lead- ers will spearhead the effort. The full House is expected to debate a balanced budget amendment as early as this month. Jewish Woman Assaulted Again Rome (JTA) — A Norwegian Jewish woman who last summer was the victim of an apparent anti-Semitic attack has been as- saulted again. Myriam Geelmuyden was found unconscious and with her face cut near the doorway of her home in the central Italian town of Assisi. Ms. Geelmuyden told police she had opened the door to a young man who claimed to be de- livering a telegram, but who in- stead attacked her, cutting her face in two places. Ms. Geelmuyden, a writer, said she believed that her attacker may have been one of three youths who assaulted her in the street last August.
