that any budget surplus be used to
reinforce the Social Security system.
He also emphasized the need to
"actually finish the job of insuring 5
million more children. And I hope
Congress will pass my proposal to
allow people over 55 who, for one rea-
son-or other, have lost all their health
insurance to buy into the Medicare
system."
He boasted about the robust econo-
my, but confessed that economic sta-
tistics confuse him.
"If you ever listen to any of these talk
shows where these economists are talk-
ing and they always are talking about
what the leading indicators are, which
means they're always trying to figure
out what happened. And they're kind of
like me: half the time they're guessing
and they don't want you to know it.
And he stressed the need to
improve education and do better in
providing child care. His $21 billion
child-care initiative was one priority
for NCJW activists as they fanned out
across Capitol Hill.
The NCJW delegates also stressed
their strong opposition to school vouch-
ers during their congressional visits. ❑

Extradite Hinawi
To United States

Jerusalem (JPFS) — Joyce Boim,
whose son David was murdered by
terrorists in May 1996, called Amjad
Hinawi's trial and sentence a travesty
of justice and a sham. Boim, a U.S.
citizen who lives in Jerusalem,
demanded Hinawi be extradited to the
United States, where she believes he
would receive a just trial.
The Palestinian military court in
Jericho sentenced Hinawi, 26, to 10
years imprisonment with hard labor
for complicity in the murder of 17-
year-old David Boim. Hinawi
claimed while he was driving, his
passenger Khalil Ibrahim Tawfik
Sharif shot Boim to death. Sharif
later detonated himself in a suicide
bomb attack in the capital's Rehov
Ben-Yehuda Street on September 4,
1997. -
Boim recently returned from a
trip to the United States, where she
lobbied for Hinawi's extradition.
During her visit, Boim said Nathan
Lewin, a lawyer representing the
family, wrote a letter to U.S. Attor-
ney-General Janet Reno demanding
that the U.S. Department of Justice
lodge a formal request for Hinawi's
extradition. ❑
