deal on Hebron and on further Is-
raeli redeployments in the West
Bank.
Officials here are refraining
from criticizing Mr. Mubarak pub-
licly, but in private, they believe
he is using the Hebron talks to re-
assert Egypt's traditional role as
the overseer of Arab negotiations
with Israel.
And that, they worry, could be
a major complicating factor in Is-
raeli-Palestinian negotiations af-
ter Hebron.
U.S.-Egyptian relations were
further strained when officials in
Cairo reacted angrily to the deci-
sion to send FBI agents to Cairo
and Alexandria to investigate last
week's spate of letter bombs.
Five of the explosive packages
were discovered in Washington,
addressed to a progressive Sau-
di newspaper; all eight letter
bombs bore Egyptian postmarks.
The State Department sought
to minimize any impression of con-
ffict over the investigation.
"There was a statement made
by ... an Egyptian government of-
ficial which took issue with this
investigation," said a State De-
partment spokesman. "But I can
tell you that the government in
Cairo has told us that the Egypt-
ian government will cooperate
with the United States in all re-
spects to uncover the source of
these letter bombs."

Jewish Reps
Are Squabbling

/—'

As the 105th Congress gets its act
together, two prominent Jewish
legislators are slugging it out in a
game of musical subcommittees.
Committee members bid for
subcommittee assignments ac-
cording to seniority; two years ago,
the more senior Rep. Tom Lantos
bumped his California colleague,
Rep. Howard Berman, from the
top Democratic slot on the Inter-
national Operations and Human
Rights subcommittee of the pow-
erful International Relations Com-
mittee when two panels were
combined.
Mr. Berman then switched to
the Asia and the Pacific subcom-
mittee, where he' was ranking
member during the 104th Con-
gress. Mr. Berman, one of the
House's genuine policy wonks, be-
came an expert in Asian policy
and won wide praise for his ac-
tivity on the committee.
But now, it seems, Mr. Lantos,
too, has cast his eye on the mys-
terious East; because Mr. Lantos
has more seniority, he wants to
bump Mr. Berman — again.
Trade with the Pacific Rim
countries is a vital part of the Cal-
ifornia economy, and Asian-Amer-
icans are poised for an expanding
role in American politics; those fac-
tors make the Asia subcommittee
an increasingly important con-
gressional venue. ❑
