Call For Solution
To America's
Energy Crisis
NEW YORK (JTA)-"The
American people have been
living in an energy fantasy
land for the past 30 years. It
is obvious that a greater
'commitment to the solution
of our energy crisis by the
American populace is both
necessary and vital." This
view was expressed by Ivan
Novick, president of the
Zionist Organization of
America, upon his return
from a five-day on-the-spot
examination of United States
energy facilities.
Through the efforts of Dr.
Zalman Shapiro, a
nationally known scientist
and chairman of' the ZOA
Energy Committee, the ZOA
sponsored and coordinated
an in-depth energy study
tour from April 20-25 for 20
* leaders of major American
Jewish organizations.
According to Novick, "A
great - deal of conflicting
information regarding
United States energy policy
has been disseminatedtothe ~
public at large."
In a statement on behalf of
the 20 leaders who represent
a constituency of four -
million Americans, «accord-
ing to Novick and Shapiro,
the two ZOA leaders said:
"The American Jewish'
leaders had the opportunity
to observe and evaluate,
firsthand our country's
energy options, and to reinforce their beliefs in the
crucial need to inform the
American people of the true
status of our country's
current methods.of large-
scale i energy production,
mainly coal and nuclear.
"In addition, valuable
insight was gained in the
area of research and
development of alternative
sources of energy, including
the actual availability of
wind, solar-electric and synthetic fuel, as well as a wide
range of potential long-term
solutions.
The leaders acknowledged
the need for a balanced view
regarding immediate and
cumulative social and
environmental effects and
also became aware of the
necessary trade-offs that are
part of the use of each alternative energy source."
A consensus was reached
within the leadership group
that "it is imperative that
our national efforts be
directed toward the utilization of energy technology
now readily available to us,
as well as toward an ongoing
program of research and
-  development of new and
alternate sources for the fu-

No Change Expected In U.S. Mid-East Policy
WASHINGTON (WNS)-
The resignation of Cyrus
Vance as Secretary of State
and his replacement by Sen.
Edmund Muskie (D. Maine)
is not expected" to result in
any change in President Carter's policies toward Israel,
the Camp David accords or
the entire Arab-Israeli conflict, When asked about a
possible change of policy, especially on the Arab-Israel
situation, State Department
spokesman Hodding Carter
said, "My own strong sense
is that the main currents of
policy in every area will be
the same." Vance's resignation because of his opposition
to the attempt by the U.S. to
rescue  the 53  Apierican3.
held in Iran was made public
April 28. But his letter of
resignation was dated April
21, well before the abortive
rescue mission took place.
Vance, in the letter, listed
the Camp David accords and
the Egyptian-Israel peace
treaty as among the principal foreign policy achievements under Carta's leadership. Vance's relations with
the American Jewish community were considered
good. He took the unusual
step, during his first year in
office, of inviting members
of the American Jewish
press to meet with him at the
State Department to discuss
U.S.-Israeli relation^ He
was accessible to members
of the American Jewish community, either in groups or
as individuals, and directed
his subordinates to follow the
same policy. Vance was considered supportive of diplomatic efforts on behalf of Soviet Jewry. Eugene Gold,
former chairman of the National Conference on Soviet
Jewry, said at one time that
the State Department could
not do any more than it was
doing on behalf of Soviet
Jews.
Varifee also had good relations with the Israelis. Premiere Menachem Begin issued a statement April 28 expressing Israel's "deep sorrow" at Vance's resignation.l
