dous amount of potential, and Bush
hopes Jewish organizations will benefit,
said Juliana Glover, a Bush spokesper-
son. Glover did not comment directly
on the letter and memo the Orthodox
groups sent Bush or on specific out-
reach attempts to Orthodox and other
Jewish organizations.
Zwiebel acknowledges that Bush will
not find a majority in the Jewish com-
munity supporting vouchers or chari-
table choice, which allows religious
institutions to bid for government
social service contracts.
Still, Zwiebel says, Bush will find
"significant support" among Jews and
should not write off the Jewish corn-
munity. Rather, he advised, Bush
should see it as a group worth courting.
Nathan Diament, director of the
Orthodox Union's Institute for Public
Affairs, said he thinks the Bush admin-
istration will reach out to Orthodox
Jews. In a memo to Bush last month,
Diament noted that the Orthodox
_
Jewish community supported a num-
ber of the policy initiatives Bush cham-
pioned during his campaign.
Diament insists, however, that the
OU tries to advance a traditional
Jewish agenda, not a liberal or con-
servative one, and therefore will dis-
agree with Bush on issues such as the
death penalty. ❑
the Johns Hopkins School of
Advanced International Studies, served
as a top aide to Vice President-elect
Dick Cheney, then the defense secre-
tary, during the first Bush administra-
tion.
Ken Mehlman, regional political
director during the campaign, has been
appointed political director for the Bush
White House. Mehlman, who is Jewish,
will play a major role in forging the new
administration's domestic policies.
Robert Satloff, currently the executive
director of the Washington Institute for
Near East Policy, a pro-Israel think tank,
is in the running for the top Mideast job
at the National Security Council.
And in an intriguing twist, Dennis B.
Ross, the longtime U.S. special Mideast
envoy, will be going to the Washington
Institute on March 1 as a "distinguished
fellow." Ross has written papers for the
institute, and he was in line to become
its chief when the past director, Martin
Indyk, left to join the Clinton adminis-
tration in 1993. But Ross was asked to
stay at his State Department post.
His first assignment? A book docu-
menting his 14 years at the epicenter
of U.S. Mideast diplomacy. ❑
