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.

Call The Jewish News 354-5959 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 _ 1 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. A March AIPAC fund-raising ris_m_a arta ann.
