Washington
he legislative storm over the
Clinton administration's
defiance of a law requiring
that the U.S. embassy be
moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is
intensifying. But the Capitol Hill leg-
islators, responding to Israeli Prime
Minister Ehud Barak's veiled requests
during his Washington visit last week,
are backing away from a direct con-
frontation with the Clinton adminis-
tration .-- at least for now.
Several pieces of legislation and let-
ters are in the hopper, but representa-
tives who once threatened to strip the
president's authority to block moving
the embassy have apparently decided
to hold their fire.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) said
that members of Barak's delegation
bluntly told him and other Jewish
members of Congress that while the
new government wants all foreign
embassies to be in Jerusalem, moves
now by Washington to relocate their
embassy from Tel Aviv could upset •
"Barak's peace drive."
That apparently spooked key lead-
ers in the congressional effort to force
the administration's hand. Late last
week, Lieberman and co-sponsor Sen.
Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) introduced only part

of their long-promised legislative
response to President Bill Clinton's
June waiver. It would have held back
some State Department money until
the president declared that U.S. policy
recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital
and until Secretary of State Madeleine
Albright certifies that ambassadorial
functions are taking place at the con-
sulate in Jerusalem.
But this week Kyl and Lieberman
did send their long-awaited letter to
Clinton criticizing his failure to move
the embassy by the May 31 deadline
set by law in 1995. Some 84 senators
signed on.
Congressional sources say Sen. Carl
Levin (D-Mich.) played a pivotal role
in moderating the tough tone of the
original letter.
"The focus has shifted from con-
fronting the administration head-on
over the embassy to nudging them
forward a few inches," said a promi-
nent pro-Israel lobbyist.
That approach is evident in several
proposals now before Congress. One bill
making the rounds would bring the U.S.
consulate in Jerusalem under the direct
. supervision of the ambassador in Tel
Aviv and require official U.S. documents
to identify Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The funeral procession of King
Hassan II travels towards the
mausoleum in Rabat, Morocco, on
July 25. Hassan was laid to rest in
a funeral attended by kings, princes
and presidents from some 30
countries, including the United
States and Israel. Hassan, who
died July 23 at age 70, was seen as
a persuasive broker of compromise,
an Arab moderate who calmed the
waters much in the way of King
Hussein of Jordan, who died less
than six months earlier. Hassan
helped arrange the 1991 Madrid
peace conference and welcomed
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in
September 1993, making Morocco
the first Arab nation outside of
Egypt to officially welcome an
Israeli leader. Succeeding Hassan
is his son Mohammed, 36,
designated King Mohammed VI.
Many observers think the new king
will continue, and perhaps even
accelerate, his father's pro-We stern
and pro peace policies.
