"it is a silly thing to suggest that
people would resort to violence
in the name of religion."
A Different World
In another dramatic sign of
changing times, the Washington
chapter of American ORT will
hold a major fund-raiser for ed-
ucational projects around the
world. There's nothing unusual
in that — except that the event
will take place at the Embassy of
Jordan in Washington. Ambas-
sador Fayez Tarawneh will at-
tend the gathering; so will
diplomats from the Israeli em-
bassy just down the street.
The event came about after a
UJA women's campaign trip to
Jordan, where Vivian Marion, a
leader of the local group, encoun-
tered Jordan's ambassador to this
country and broached the subject.
ORT in Israel has proposed a
joint Israeli-Jordanian college for
the border between Eilat and
Aqaba, open to students from
throughout the region. That may
have one more inducement to the
Jordanian diplomats — although
the money raised at the Dec. 6
event will go to ORT projects
- throughout the world.
"It's a very exciting and inter-
esting example of how things
have changed in the region," Ms.
Marion said.
Rally for the Really Rich
Political theater isn't dead, as
was demonstrated when a group
opposed to big social service bud-
get cuts staged a sarcastic "Ral-
ly for the Really Rich" in
downtown Washington.
The Coalition for Human
Needs, an umbrella group that
includes several Jewish organi-
zations, took on a new name, for
one day, to mark to occasion: the
Rich Peoples' Liberation Front.
Activists dressed in pearls and
tuxedos and offered words of
thanks to Congress for the $200-
billion plus in tax cuts, which the
group contends will primarily
benefit the richest Americans.
"There's a serious message be-
hind the theater," said Sammie
Moshenberg, Washington direc-
tor for the National Council of
Jewish Women, one of the par-
ticipating groups. "While people
are clamoring to balance the bud-
get, Congress seems to think the
only way to do this is to cut pro-
grams to the poor and the mid-
dle class. We want to call
attention to the fact that this
budget reconciliation act contains
tax breaks for the wealthiest
Americans. If you want to bal-
ance the budget, let's at least be
even-handed." ❑
Anti-Terror Bill
Back On Track - Sort Of
JAMES D. BESSER WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT
he omnibus anti-terrorism
bill, which will make it eas-
ier to bar suspected terror-
ists from entry into this
country and harder to raise mon-
ey for foreign terror groups, was
hailed as a top congressional pri-
ority after the Oklahoma City
federal building bombing.
After sailing through the Sen-
ate, the bill ran into a brick wall
in the House, where conservative
Republicans joined liberals in
criticizing provisions that would
greatly expand the power of fed-
eral law enforcement authorities.
For the past few months, Jew-
ish groups — led by the Anti-
Defamation League and the
Conference of Presidents of Ma-
jor American Jewish Organiza-
tions — have pressed for action
on the bill.
Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., one of
the conservative critics, joined
with Judiciary Committee chair
Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., in
proposing compromise language
intended to mollify fellow con-
servatives.
The amendment will delete
parts of the earlier bill authoriz-
ing the use of military personnel
in civilian law enforcement, and

limiting the habeas corpus rights
of death row inmates.
It will also limit the FBI's abil-
ity to gather information on do-
mestic terrorist groups and delete
funding for a domestic countert-
errorism center.
That, according to some sup-
porters of the original bill, would
gut the section of the legislation
dealing with right-wing groups
in this country.
"From the very beginning,
many Republicans were happy
to talk about foreign terrorists,
but very reluctant to talk about
groups like the militias," said a
Capitol Hill staffer involved in
the debate. "The bill still contains
some important provisions. But
if it passes in this form, it will be
far weaker in the area of investi-
gating and fighting terrorism of
the sort that caused the tragedy
in Oklahoma City."
Michael Lieberman, ADL's
Washington counsel said: "We
were disappointed that the bill
was sidetracked by largely un-
founded criticism. Our objective
at this stage is to move this bill
through the House as quickly as
possible, and try to get the tough-
est bill that is constitutional sound
in House-Senate conference."
