representative, Matthew Dorf. "But it is
saying there's a crisis in this country; the
gun crisis is affecting all Americans. We
believe enough is enough."
The Jewish group will invite other
faith communities to participate in the
drive.
In the meantime, Jewish groups in
Washington will be actively promoting
the mild, Senate-passed gun control
legislation included in a juvenile jus-
tice bill about to go before a House-
Senate conference committee.
The House version doesn't address
the issue, and the gun lobby has worked
hard over the recess to make sure con-
ferees don't add it to the measure.
Bush Attracts GOP Jews
Many Jewish Republicans are con-
vinced they have a winner with Texas
Gov. George W. Bush, who continues
to lead a swarm of under-financed
rivals by a big margin.
But they're also watching with concern
the party's minuet with columnist-
turned-candidate Pat Buchanan. Party
officials worry that Buchanan could prove
a spoiler by jumping to Ross Perot's
Reform Party, which could drain off
important votes from the religious right.
But efforts to keep Buchanan inside
the Republican tent won't do much for
the Jewish GOPers' efforts to lure more
Jews into the party. Buchanan has been
linked to anti-Israel and border-line
anti-Semitic statements in the past.
"Any association with Buchanan is
a bad thing for Jewish Republicans,"
said Chuck Brooks, executive director
of the National PAC, a pro-Israel
political action committee.
Vanunu, Where Are You?
Anti-nuclear activists who have taken
up the cause of Mordechai Vanunu are
hoping the new government in
Jerusalem will release the nuclear tech-
nician, who is serving an 18-year prison
sentence for telling a British newspaper
about Israel's nuclear arsenal.
Just in case, they're extending into
the U.S. Senate their campaign to get
Congress to squeeze the Israelis. But
there's no indication many lawmakers
are interested — especially now that
U.S.-Israel relations are on an even keel.
So far, only Sen. Paul Wellstone
(D-Minn.) and Sen. Russell Feingold
(D-Wisc.), both Jewish lawmakers,
have raised concerns about Vanunu.
Pro-Israel lobbyists have urged law-
makers to regard Vanunu's punish-
ment as an internal Israeli matter, and
most legislators seem content to follow
their advice.
