PRESIDENT CLINTON WAS ILL-ADVISED TO PRAISE YASIR ARAFAT FOR HIS "COURAGE" AND "COMMITMENT" TO CHANGE THE PLO COVENANT CALL ING FOR THE DESTRUCI1ON OF ISRAEL. THE PALESTINE NATIONAL COUNCIL HAS NOT CHANGED THE COVENANT โ€” according to Congressman Benjamin Gilman, Chair of the House Interna- tional Relations Committee, The Washington Post, CNN, Voice of America Radio, Ha'aretz, Peace Watch, The Washington Times, The Jerusalem Post and other authoritative sources. Congressman Gilman: "the recent vote by the PLO's National Council did not change the PLO Covenant, but merely delegated the necessary authority to a so-called le- gal committee . . . as of now, the obligation to amend the charter has not been ful- filled." The Washington Post: "The precise status of the charter, 33-paragraph manifesto drafted in 1964 was left ambiguous in today's vote." CNN Cable News Network. "The PNC resolution regarding the Covenant used the future tense and was unspecific about which dauses may be eventually revoked." Voice of America Radio: 'The wording of the PNC resolution was somewhat am- biguous and may have only expressed an intent . . ." Ha'aretz, Israel's leading liberal daily: "The Palestinian Council has still not offi- cially changed the anti-Israel dauses in the Covenant." Peace Watch: 'The PLO's decision fails to meet the obligations laid out in the Oslo accords. As of now, the old Covenant remains the governing document of the PLO. ZOA National President Morton A. Klein: "Arafat and the PLO have once again made a vague promise to change some unspecified part of the Covenant at some un- specified future date. That does not fulfill what the Oslo Accords and U.S. law require โ€” changing by May 7, 1996, the 30 (out of 33) articles in the Covenant that call for Israel's destruction."

Great Adventures In World Class Cuisine PHYLLIS STEINBERG SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS he desire to present culi- nary secrets from around the world spurred the cre- ation of the Discovery Channel TV series "World Class Cuisine." Now, a cookbook written by Gail Greco, executive food editor of the television series, features more great adventures in European regional cooking. The book is titled World Class Cuisine and supplies even the most novice of cooks with the in- formation to prepare interna- tional world class cuisine at home. A splash of white wine or a dash of red have long been the choice of many gourmet cooks around the world, but in Scot- land, Ms. Greco says that Scotch whisky is used most universally in cooking. Splashes and sprinkles of Scotch whisky provide the chef and the home cook with an added essence for everything from soups and vegetables to meat dishes and sweet desserts. Single malt Scotches are paired with recipes based on how peaty or delicate they are and are better for the kosher consumer to cook with because unlike blended Scotches which utilize a combination of as many as 50 dif- ferent malt and grain whiskeys, single malts from Scotland are made exclusively from the malt- ed barley of a single distillery. While there is an overall har- mony within a group of single malts, the Classic Malts' variety of tastes, aromas and characters enables novices and connoisseurs to choose the taste which best pleases their individual palate. Chef Alan Hill from Glenea- gles in Perthshire, Scotland says the rule of thumb when cooking with whisky is that the heartier or more rustic the food, the stronger the peat flavor should be in the single malt you choose. For the classic single malts, he recommends Glenkinchie for poultry or soups; Dalwhinnie for desserts, Cragganmore for poul- try, Oban for lamb, Talisker for seafood and Lagavulin for red meats. Below are some recipes from World Class Cuisine and from chefs who prepare world class cuisine in their restaurants: WHISKY AND HERB- MARINATED SALMON WITH HORSERADISH SALSA Salmon: 8 ounces smoked salmon filet, cut into medallions 1/4 cup single-malt whisky, such as Cardhu 1/2 teaspoon sugar Sprinkling of fresh dill and tarragon Potato Salad: 2 pounds white potatoes, peeled, cooked, cooled, and sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices 1J4 cup chopped shallots 1 glove garlic, finely minced Salt and freshly ground pepper 1 tablespoon grated horseradish 3/4 cup creme fraiche 1 teaspoon chopped parsley 118 teaspoon grated nutmeg H Salsa: 4 egg yolks 2 tablespoons white wine 2 tablespoons creamed horseradish 2 tablespoons country-style mustard 2 tablespoons olive oil Juice of one lemon 1 tablespoon simple syrup (recipe below) 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill 1J8 teaspoon cayenne pepper Assembly: 2 cups or more green-leaf lettuce 2 tablespoons walnut oil Marinate the salmon for 1 hour in the refrigerator in a mix- ture of the whisky, sugar and herbs. Turn frequently. Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingre- dients and mix well. Refrigerate and prepare the salsa. Mix together the egg yolks and white wine over hot (not boiling) water or over a double boiler. The end result should be a thick, frothy mixture, done without cur- dling the eggs. Add the horse- radish and mustard. Whisk in the olive oil, lemon and syrup. Add the dill. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and cayenne. Set Aside. Coat the let- tuce with walnut oil. Place the salmon medallions in center of the serving plates. Surround with lettuce. Place the potato salad in the center. Pour the salsa over the top and serve immediately. Yield: 4 appetizer servings. C- SIMPLE SYRUP 2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 to 1 cup water In a medium sauce pan, bring the water to a boil, stirring to dis- solve the sugar. Determine the amount of sugar to use based on the sweetness of the fruits or berries you are using. Flavor the syrup to match its use. Possible flavorings are: vanil- la, wines, liqueurs, and other spirits, citrus fruits and peel, herbs and spices. --\ Yield: 2 cups syrup ADVENTURES page 134
