Ventilation was the name of the
game at a House International
Relations Committee hearing
last week designed to give critics
of the Middle East peace process
a chance to read their criticisms
into the Congressional Record —
and, not incidentally, to relieve
some of the political pressure on
a key Republican lawmaker.
In recent months, Rep. Ben
Gilman (R-N.Y.), the committee
chair, had been the subject of fe-
rocious lobbying by partisans on

Palestinian Authority.
Mr. Gilman had made vague
promises that he would hold

hearings on the Middle East
Peace Facilitation Act, the law
allowing American aid, even
though the renewal bill no longer
was before his committee. MEP-
FA expired in June and has been
miming on temporary extensions
since then.
"Ben is sensitive to the con-
cerns many of his important con-
stituents have about giving
money to Arafat," said a high-lev-
el House staffer. "But he is also
sympathetic to the need for the
Israeli government to pursue its
policies as it sees fit. The feeling
was that it might be sensible to (
let everybody have their say."
