LAST MONTH TO SAVE ON CURRENT 1999 MODELS

The war of words over how the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum is run
continues apace.
Two weeks ago a report, requested
by a member of Congress and con-
ducted by the National Academy of
Public Administration, accused the
Museum's lay leaders of disruptive
micro management and criticized the
top staff for a number of management
shortcomings.
Walter Reich, the former U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Museum director
ousted last year after a conflict with the
museum board, used a Washington Post
opinion article over the weekend to
argue that the report supported his view
of the events leading to his departure.
Reich cited sections of the report
criticizing the U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Council and its chair, Miles
Lerman, for giving in to government
pressure to use the Museum for politi-
cal and diplomatic purposes, and called
it a "vindication" of his [Reich's] posi-
tion.
Reich's departure from the museum
in 1998 followed his controversial
invitation to Palestinian leader Yasser
Arafat to tour the museum.
In an interview, Reich said that
my resignation was clearly precipitat-
ed by the Arafat affair. In order to
deflect the issue from one of principle
to something that didn't relate to prin-
ciple, the chairman then referred to
management issues, which he had
never referred to before."
Not so, said Gerard Leval, the
museum's general counsel. In a memo
Tuesday to members of the U.S.
Holocaust Memorial Council, Leval,
who negotiated the terms of Reich's
departure, agreed that the former
director had expressed opposition to
the Arafat invitation, but that was not
the reason for his departure.
"Despite the clear repudiation of his
position respecting Arafat by the
Executive Committee, Dr. Reich not
only did not resign, he actively sought an
extension of his contract," Leval wrote.
In an internal memo to museum
staffers, William S. Parsons, the chief- -
of staff, termed Reich's article a "dis-
tortion of the NAPA report."
He added that "the report outlines
many changes we've desperately need-
ed for some time but have only been
able to address in the past year" — in
other words, since Reich's departure.
