of the agenda for a President's
Conference mission in Washington
this week.
But the administration has angrily
rejected Israeli requests to get tough
with Russia.
"There's a strong belief that you
will topple Boris Yeltsin if you exert
any pressure at all, and that this
would be the worst of all possible
worlds," said Shoshana Bryen, special
projects director for the Jewish
Institute for National Security
Affairs. "The administration seems to
believe that it would be better to
have a nuclear-capable Iran than to
stand up to Yeltsin and say that if he
continues to do this, we'll punish
him."
Orthodox Jew In Cairo Post
If the Senate goes along, the next
U.S. ambassador in Cairo will be an
Orthodox Jew.
Mr. Clinton nominated Dan
Kurtzer, a foreign service professional
who has been deeply involved in
American Mideast peacemaking for
years, to the Egypt post. The nomi-
nation had been expected for
months, but was held up by the
excruciatingly slow pace of appoint-
ments at the Clinton White House.
Mr. Kurtzer joined the Foreign
Service in 1976, but left briefly to
serve as dean of Yeshiva College in
New York. He returned to government
service in 1979, and served in both
Cairo and Tel Aviv, and then in a
series of high-level staff positions at
Foggy Bottom, including deputy assis-
tant secretary for Near Eastern affairs.
Mr. Kurtzer served as top deputy
to special Mideast envoy Dennis Ross
when Mr. Ross was director of policy
planning at the State Department in
the Bush administration. Both men
were lightning rods for criticism by
right-wing Jewish groups, who
labeled them the department's
"Jewish Arabists."
But most Jewish leaders praise Mr.
Kurtzer both for his competence and
his commitment to Israel's future.
"He is a thorough professional
who effectively represents the policies
of his superiors," said the leader of a
major pro-Israel group. "There are
times we have not agreed with those
policies. But Dan has always repre-
sented them with intelligence and
sensitivity, and his concern about
Israel is beyond question. Sending
him to Egypt — an Orthodox Jew —
is an important milestone for our
community."
Victory On Refugee Slots
Jewish activists recently scored some
points in the never-ending battle over
scarce refugee slots, although they
didn't exactly win the round.
The issue involves State
Department plans to cut the number
of spaces for refugees from the former
Soviet Union — mostly Jews and
Evangelical Christians — in order to
add to the number of Bosnian
refugees admitted.
Jewish groups, led by the Council
of Jewish Federations and the
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, are
sympathetic to the need for more
slots for the Bosnians, but they don't
