Hyde-Barr compromise, and
asking that action on the mea-
sure be put off until next year,
at the earliest.
Mr. Gingrich has apparently
taken that advice to heart — not
a hard thing to do, given the fact
that Congress is preoccupied
with the latest budget show-
down.
But the quick response from
the conservatives suggests that
the Barr-Hyde compromise —
which largely gutted sections of
the bill dealing with home grown
terrorism — will not be enough
to unblock the bill, despite the
fact that Gingrich appears com-
mitted to its passage.
Jewish leaders now hope the
House will act early in January
on a stripped-down proposal,
and that House-Senate negotia-
tors will restore some of the pro-
visions yanked from the bill.
"We think it will go through,"
said Malcolm Hoenlein, execu-
tive vice chair of the Conference
of Presidents of Major American
Jewish Organizations, a group
that has pushed hard for the leg-
islation. "We are concerned
about the backlash from the con-
servatives. But the sense we get
is that the administration and
the Republican leadership will
work hard to get something
through."

Affirmative Action
Not to Forefront

A few months ago, affirmative
action was the hottest issue in
Washington; now, with the bud-
get battle and the Bosnia peace
agreement dominating the
news, the issue has faded from
the headlines.
But not from the congres-
sional agenda; a House sub-
committee held hearings on a
bill by Rep. Charles Canady, R-
Fla., that would gut government
affirmative action programs, ac-
cording to Jewish activists and
a Clinton administration that
has hinted of a veto.
On the roster for the hearings
was the National Council of
Jewish Women, as well as a
numbing assortment of legal ex-
perts.
Barbara Herman, a NCJW
activist from New Orleans in-
sisted that affirmative action
programs have significantly im-
proved opportunities for women.
"We have come a long way," she
said, "but studies ... consistent-
ly show that we still have a long
way to go. We are extremely dis-
mayed that (women) continue
to be shamefully underrepre-
sented at the critical decision-
making, management level in
U.S. firms."
The Canady legislation, she
said, would "destroy a key tool
for achieving economic oppor-
tunity."
