Washington.
Barak, who will travel with
Knesset members Yossi Beilin, Ori
Orr and Ephraim Sneh, is planning
an extensive round of meetings with
key lawmakers.
Sneh, chair of the Knesset
Comptroller Subcommittee on the
IDF and Defense, generated head-
lines in Israel this week when he
warned that Israel's preparedness is
slipping even as the danger of war
increases.
They'll also fan out to make the
rounds of Mideast think tanks and
meet with State Department and
White House officials — although
Barak reportedly is not seeking a
White House audience.

This was the week a consortium of
Jewish groups and the Polish govern-
ment were supposed to sign an agree-
ment laying out procedures for the
final disposition of the Auschwitz-
Birkenau site.
Instead, leaders of the coalition,
which includes the U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Museum, Yad Vashem, the
American Jewish Committee, the
American Gathering of Jewish
Holocaust Survivors and the Ronald
Lauder Foundation, were coping with
a last-minute about-face by another
member, the World Jewish Congress.
Critics, led by Rabbi Avi Weiss,
have insisted that the pending agree-
ment will allow Christian religious
symbols to remain and encourage
commercial development that will
deface the site. Rabbi Weiss has been
particularly vehement in criticizing
Miles Lerman, chairman of the board
that oversees the Holocaust Museum
and the lead negotiator.
"It's not only a bad agreement, it's
a desecration of the 6 million," Rabbi
Weiss said this week. "[Lerman] is
ready to sign an agreement that will
allow the cross to remain forever. The
Birkenau church, in the only build-
ing remaining of Nazi headquarters,
is a far greater desecration because
Birkenau was the primary theater of
death for the Jews."
Rabbi Weiss also rejected the role
of the museum in the negotiations.
"The mandate of the museum is
education and memory, not to negoti-
ate and sign international agree-
ments," he said. "It's not a legitimate
function; I believe it is so serious there
should be a congressional investigation
about the misuse of federal funds."
