/— and rights in Jerusalem while ne-
gotiations on Jerusalem's final
status are postponed."
The report comes at a time
when administration officials are
seeking new ways to revive the
Israeli-Palestinian talks after the
failure of the Egyptian mediation
effort.
But they seem unlikely to ac-
cept the basic CFR recommen-
dation that the Oslo process be
scrapped.
Asked if Oslo was still the ad-
ministration's primary vehicle
for Mideast negotiations, State
Department spokesman Nicholas
Burns said "Yes, absolutely, pos-
itively. When the times get tough,
you don't run and you don't throw

up your hands and think up 16
differentpolicy options to pursue;
you stick with what got you to the
game."
Sources in Washington say
there may be interest in the
administration in a more pro-
active role for American media-
tors — but none in abandoning
Oslo.
Pro-peace process leaders re-
sponded cautiously; many sup-
port the key proposals, but worry
that they are not in sync with to-
day's political and diplomatic re-
alities.
Americans for Peace Now di-
rector Debra DeLee railed the re-
port "an impressive articulation
of our vital interests in the re-
gion," but the group made it clear
it was not endorsing the CFR
conclusions.

Back To Court
For AIPAC

I is back to court for the Amer-
ican Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC), the per-
petually maligned pro-Israel
lobby that has been under at-
tack from a group of retired
diplomats and chronic Israel
bashers for years.
The Supreme Court agreed to
review a lower court ruling in
December that the Federal Elec-
tion Commission was wrong
when it rejected allegations of
improper political activity by the
politically powerful group.
The case involves a 1992 EEC
decision turning aside com-
plaints by a group of former
State Department officials that
AIPAC acted improperly as a po-
litical committee, not a mem-
bership organization. In
December, the U.S. Court of Ap-
peals for the District of Colum-
bia ruled that the FEC decision
was out of order. That decision,
if upheld, could force AIPAC to

abide by the tougher financial
disclosure rules that apply to po-
litical committees.
In the original complaint, the
anti-AIPAC activists charged
that the group had made cam-
paign contributions and expen-
ditures in excess of $1,000 —
thereby exceeding the threshold
for determining whether a group
is a "political" organization.
In 1992, the EEC decided that
AIPAC had made those expen-
ditures, but also that since they
were not a major part of
AIPAC's activities, there was no
probable cause to believe AIPAC
was a political committee.
The December ruling reject-
ed the FEC's use of the "major
purpose" test in deciding in
AIPAC's favor.
The FEC appealed that deci-
sion to the Supreme Court,
which is where the matter
stands now.

Conservative
Difference

Legislators from the conserva-
tive end of the spectrum and Con-
servative rabbis — note the
uppercase "C" — don't see eye to
eye on a lot of issues, a fact that
was apparent during a Wash-
ington mission by some 40 rep-
resentatives of the Rabbinical
Assembly.
Many participants in the Capi-
tol Hill blitz came away convinced
that the Republican-led Congress
isn't on the same wavelength as
the American people.
`There was a strong feeling that
a lot of the battles being fought
right now are not in tune with

changing realities," said Rabbi
Charles Feinberg, head of the
group's social action committee.
"The rhetoric from the Republi-
cans, in particular, is in tune with
10 years ago. They talk about the
need to cut taxes, but the econo-
my is booming; it's hard to see the
need for tax cuts, and for the cuts
Congress will have to make in im-
portant programs to make up for
them."
The rabbis brought legislators
a sf.rong message on health care.
"We made it clear people are re-
ally having problems under man-
aged care," Feinberg said. ❑
