ceive adequate care in their new
surroundings.
He noted that Borman Hall
residents were moved to Meno-
rah House while Menorah House
was grappling with its own prob-
lems with the state.
"This situation was different,"
Mr. Connors said. "This was a
new building with a fresh start
with a company Federation in-
dividually negotiated. You'd
think the planning and prepara-
tion time would've ensured the
care was premium, not just the
price."
The cost to Danto residents
without Medicaid assistance is
roughly $70,000 per year.
Federation would not have re-
located Prentis residents if the
state had determined Dante was
not ready for the intake, said
Mark Davidoff, Federation's chief
operating officer.
He noted that most of the
state's citations involved docu-
mentation. Like Ms. Funds, he
asserted that the top priority in
the early days of Danto's opera-
tion was the physical care of new
residents.
'When you have to make a
choice of physically holding some-
body's hand or documenting, you

make the choice you need to
make. HCR has to obviously do
both, but they had to make a
choice of the primary focus in the
first days of operation," he said.
Anyway, the survey results
"indicated some areas needed im-
provement, which is not totally
unusual, because you have a new
facility with new staff and a new
system in place," he said. "We
have every confidence that the
Dante Center and the quality as-
surance mechanisms in Health
Care & Retirement Corporation,
out of their headquarters in Tole-
do, are involved in making the
required improvements. We're
on a steady course."
Grace Kerlin, the state licens-
ing officer who oversaw the
survey, said the next step is rein-
specting Danto within 50 to 70
days. If Dante has corrected the
reported deficiencies, it would re-
ceive its Medicaid and Medicare
certification. If it is not in com-
pliance, the Bureau of Health
Systems could recommend
against state reimbursement of
new admissions.
In six months, if the problems
are not cleared up, Danto could
lose its Medicaid/Medicare certi-
fication, Ms. Kerlin explained. ❑

through the official channels es-
tablished between the two coun-
tries.
`The Israeli defense establish-
ment has not been approached
by U.S. authorities regarding the
story published in the Detroit
Free Press [on Wednesday].
Should U.S. authorities seek Is-
raeli cooperation on this issue,
their request will be treated in
the spirit of full cooperation as is
the established practice in keep-
ing with the excellent relation-
ship which prevails between the
two countries."
Mr. Tenenbaum could not be
reached at his home.
A spokesperson for U.S. Rep.
Sander Levin, whose district in-
cludes Warren and TACOM, said
Rep. Levin did not want to com-
ment because he had no more in-
formation than what was
reported in the Free Press.
A rabbi friend of Mr. Tenen-
baum's at the Kollel, a talmudic
study institute in Oak Park,
ridiculed the news report on Mr.
Tenenbaum, calling it an exam-
ple of "yellow journalism."
The man, who asked that his
name not be published, said it's
possible Mr. Tenenbaum made a
mistake, but it makes sense that
someone in his position would be
investigated.
"By virtue of the fact he's Jew-
ish, he's religious, he's been to Is-
rael, he's worked with the
military— he fits the perfect pro-
file of whom they would investi-
gate," he said.

According to the FBI affidavit,
Mr. Tenenbaum admitted taking

documents classified "For Offi-
cial Use Only" to his home, as
well as a TACOM computer.
Again, his friend said, it was
no secret that Mr. Tenenbaum
had a computer from work at
home.
"Maybe it was given to him.
Maybe it was an old computer
they sold to him," he said.
Alfred Goldstein, also a retired
engineer from TACOM, said
most of the work done at TACOM
is not highly sensitive. The data
Mr. Tenenbaum passed to Israeli
officers "is not the kind of infor-
mation most of us have dealt
with, but there must have been
individuals who maintained that
kind of data. It was not directly
related to the development of
tanks, maybe about performance
of weapons or guidance systems
installed on the tank."
The only significant classified
material to which anyone would
have access was the armor pro-
tection technology, said Mr. Gold-
stein.
In its affidavit, the FBI states
that Mr. Tenenbaum may have
violated laws against gathering
or transmitting defense infor-
mation or delivering the infor-
mation to a foreign government
— both felonies that carry max-
imum penalties of 10 years in
prison. ❑
