Washington
ordan's new King Abdullah
wowed Capitol Hill and admin-
istration audiences this week in
his first visit as monarch.
The king came in part to introduce
himself to U.S. policymakers and
interest groups, and in part to press
the case for more economic aid and
more help in winning international
forgiveness for Jordan's massive debt.
In a session with leaders of a hand-
ful of Jewish groups, the king stressed
his optimism about the resumption of
Mideast peace talks in the wake of
Monday's election of Labor leader
Ehud Barak.
King Abdullah "was surprisingly
upbeat about the prospect of a break-
through in the negotiations with
Syria," said Jess Hordes, Washington
director for the Anti-Defamation
League. "He was warm, friendly and
very deft; he said all the right things."
The king recently met with Syrian
president Hafez Assad, a diplomatic
overture that worried some adminis-
tration officials.
But King Abdullah said that Jordan
and other states in the region need to
be supportive of the new Israeli gov-
ernment as it tries to restart the stalled
talks with the Palestinians and Syrians.

Orthodox activists are watching with
lively interest as the Supreme Court
considers whether to take a 12-year-
old case that could affect longstanding
programs that help private and
parochial schools.
The Title 6 program, which provides
funds for library books, computers and
other educational equipment for
parochial schools, has "been in existence
for a long time," said Abba Cohen,
Washington representative for Agudah
Israel of America. "According to a lower
court ruling, it is constitutional as long
as it is sectarian and not ideological,
open to both religious and nonreligious
schools and as long as there are safe-
guards to prevent the money from
being diverted for religious purposes."
The 5th Circuit Court in Louisiana
struck down the program as unconstitu-

tional on church-state grounds because
of the participation of parochial schools.
But a decision by the 9th Circuit Court
ruled in the other direction.
Now the Supreme Court is being
asked to clarify this legal tangle.
Agudah, a leading advocate on
behalf of parochial schools that want
to participate more fully in federal
programs, is worried that a negative
ruling from the Supreme Court

French upon his arrival at State
Department headquarters in Washington.

would wipe out the program, a host
of other programs that serve Jewish
schools," Cohen said.

Eizenstat Upgrade

Stuart Eizenstat, selected last week as
deputy secretary of the Treasury, will
hold on to his unique portfolio as the
Clinton administration's special envoy
on Holocaust restitution matters
despite his promotion.
Eizenstat, currently serving as
undersecretary of state for economic
affairs, will replace the man elevated to
the top spot at Treasury, Lawrence
Summers, who is also Jewish. Summers
will replace Robert Rubin, who is leav-
ing amidst an avalanche of praise.
Although the Treasury post will
involve significant management
responsibilities that will demand even
longer workdays from the workaholic
Eizenstat, Jewish leaders expressed
confidence that he will be able to con-
tinue his efforts on behalf of
Holocaust survivors and their heirs.P.
