Keego Harbor

The effort by Jewish right-wing
forces to quash the nomination
of U.S. Ambassador to Israel
Martin Indyk as assistant sec-
retary of state for Near East af-
fairs got a boost recently when
two senators raised questions
about the nominee's role in the
controversy over moving the
American Embassy from Tel
Aviv to Jerusalem.
But Capitol Hill sources say
the opposition is unlikely to af-
fect either the confirmation vote
or the conflict between the ad-
ministration and Congress over

dangerous message that the U.S.
is reducing its human rights com-
mitment to Jews and other mi-
norities in the former Soviet
Union."
While Jewish numbers are
down, the number of Evangeli-
cal Christians seeking to enter
as refugees has increased, and
the numbers could soar if the
Russian parliament resurrects a
bill limiting religious freedom to
the Orthodox church and a hand-
ful of other groups that have been
active in Russia.
"By our calculations, these
numbers are clearly insufficient,"
said Martin Wenick, executive di-
rector of the Hebrew Immigrant
Aid Society. "And there are dis-
turbing questions about the way
those numbers were determined."
BIAS, UCSJ and other groups
hope to change the administra-
tion's arithmetic; they are lobby-
ing the White House, and working
with a number of sympathetic leg-
islators, including Sen. Frank
Lautenberg, D-N.J., Sen. Edward
Kennedy, D-Mass., and Sen.
Spencer Abraham, R-Mich.

Martin Indyk

the stalled embassy move.
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), an ear-
ly advocate of moving the em-
bassy, has urged the Foreign
Relations Committee to grill Mr.
Indyk on the embassy question
when it takes up the nomination
in the fall; so far, hearings have
not been scheduled.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.)
also has urged the committee to

question Mr. Indyk about the
controversial move.
But "there's still no substan-
tive opposition," said Jess
Hordes, Washington director for
the Anti-Defamation League,
who also rejected the claim that
Mr. Indyk — the first Jewish am-
bassador to Israel and a former
pro-Israel lobbyist — played a
major role in the administration's
resistance to 1995 legislation
mandating the embassy move.
"Indyk is simply articulating
administration policy that goes
back for decades," he said. 'We're
not pleased that the administra-
tion continues to resist this step,
but it's nothing new, and Indyk
has not changed it."
A former Indyk colleague said
that when the ambassador
worked for the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee, he was
an advocate of pressuring the
Reagan administration to move
the embassy.

Religious Freedom
Gets Clinton Assist

The Clinton administration's
new guidelines on religious free-
dom in the federal workplace
may boost pending legislation
aimed at doing the same for
workers in the private sector —
and slow the drive for a contro-
versial "religious freedom"
amendment promoted by Chris-
tian conservatives.
The guidelines were unveiled
at a White House ceremony with
representatives of a wide range
of Jewish and Christian groups
in attendance.
In the plain-language docu-
ment, the administration tried
to walk a difficult line between
Christian groups, which wanted
clarification of the right of work-
ers to proselytize and bring re-
ligious symbols to work, and
Jewish organizations interested
in freedom from religious coer-
cion and harassment.
The guidelines also make it
clear that federal managers
should try to accommodate the
special needs of religious em-
ployees, including Sabbath-ob-
serving Jews.
Marc Stern, legal director for
the American Jewish Congress,
along with Steven T. McFarland
of the Christian Legal Society,
submitted draft guidelines that
were largely incorporated into
the administration document.
Elliot Mincberg, legal director
for People for the American Way,
offered input from the strict sep-
arationist point of view.
The guidelines clarify that un-
der current law, federal workers
are allowed to bring religious
symbols to the office, wear reli-
gious attire and conduct prayer
sessions; proselytization is al-
lowed, but religious harassment
and coercion are not.EI
