But Mr. Clearfield said that for
the most part, the quarantined
B'nai B'rith workers kept their
spirits up.
"People began to laugh and joke
toward the end," he said. "There
was a feeling of camaraderie.
There was never a sense of panic."
Many B'nai B'rithers missed
the event entirely because they
were off for Passover.

Other Groups'
Security Measures
Jewish organizations in the cap-
ital have stepped up their secu-
rity procedures in the wake of the
B'nai B'rith incident, despite the
fact that the substance mailed to
the organization's headquarters
turned out to be harmless.
The FBI's Joint Terrorist Task
Force sent a warning to Jewish or-
ganizations around the country
recently describing the package
that brought downtown Wash-
ington to a standstill and sum-
marizing the threatening
two-page letter that accompanied
it.
The letter, from an individual
who claimed to be part of an un-
known group called the "Counter
Holocaust Lobbyists of Hillel," was
described as rambling and inco-
herent.
The Jewish Community Coun-
cil of Greater Washington coordi-
nated the flow of information from
federal agencies, including the
FBI.
"They have asked us to alert
other Jewish groups in the com-
munity to maintain a careful
screening of incoming mail, and
to use common sense in imple-
menting security measures," said
Murray Tenenbaum, the group's
executive director. "Groups have
been calling us for information; it's
clear that people are taking the
warning about tighter security
procedures very seriously."
He said that Washington's Jew-
ish organizations do not fear a new
wave of terrorism targeting Jew-
ish groups.
"There's no sense of panic or
fear," he said. `But there is a recog-
nition that people need to pay at-
tention to their surroundings and
use common sense. If they're go-
ing to err, they should err on the
cautious side."
But other Jewish leaders pri-
vately expressed concern about
the future.
"There's a growing awareness
among community leaders that
the climate of anger and violence
in the nation continues to grow,"
said the Washington representa-
tive of one major Jewish group.
"And we have to face the likeli-
hood that some of these groups are
going to get their hands on some
_

fairly well-equipped to deal with
bombs and guns, but stuff in petri
dishes is a whole different matter."
Weapons Ban:
Mixed Reviews
The Senate ratification of the
Chemical Weapons Convention
was good news for several Jewish
groups that had made the inter-
national treaty a high legislative
priority.
`This was an important vote for
the Jewish community because
it's an indication that the United
States remains committed to ful-
filling its obligations as the world's
leading power," said Barry Jacobs,
assistant director of internation-
al relations for the American Jew-
ish Committee, a group that
lobbied on behalf of ratification.
"It was a made-in-America treaty,
and we would have looked foolish
if we failed to ratify it."
And the treaty is important for
Israel, he said, because "the only
use of chemical weapons in the
last 30 years has been by nations
that are deadly enemies of Israel.
It's important to do everything we
can to make sure such weapons
will not be used again, and not be
used against Israel."
The National Jewish Commu-
nity Relations Advisory Council
also lobbied hard for ratification.
"The NJCRAC looks forward to
the swift implementation of the
Chemical Weapons Convention
— including the monitoring and
verification of compliance with the
treaty's restrictions and the pun-
ishment of violators," said Michael
N. Newmark, the group's chair, in
a statement.
But not all Jewish groups were
on President Clinton's side: The
Jewish Institute for National Se-
curity Affairs argued that the
treaty could actually increase the
threat posed by rogue nations
such as Iran, Iraq and Libya by
"opening up the trade in chemical
technologies," said. Shoshana
Bryen, the group's special projects
director. The treaty, she said, is
"unverifiable and unenforceable."
A pivotal factor in the admin-
istration's successful fight for the
treaty was the ability of National
Security. Adviser Sandy Berger to
line up Republican support, in-
cluding the all-important vote of
Senate Majority Leader Trent
Lott, R-Miss.
AIPAC's
Clinton Criticism
Most Jewish leaders regard the
Clinton administration as the
most pro-Israel ever. But appar-
ently the leaders of the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee,
the pro-Israel lobby, aren't so sure.
