WASHINGTON (JTA) -
The American Jewish
leadership welcomed Secretary of State James Baker's
warning that the United
States would withhold funds
for any United Nations body
that gives the Palestine
Liberation Organization full
membership.
In a statement read by
State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler,
Baker said he would recommend to President Bush
"that the United States
make no further contribution, voluntary or assessed,
to any international organization which makes any
change in the PLO's present
status as an observer organization."
Baker's warning comes
just before the World Health
Organization is scheduled to
convene for its annual assembly in Geneva. On the
agenda is a proposal to grant
the PLO's declared state of
Palestine full membership in
the U.N. body.
The United States contributes about 25 percent of the
agency's budget, with v its
1990 fiscal year contribution
set at $73.8 million, Tutwiler
said.
On April 30, the Conference of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organizations issued a statement
calling on the Bush administration to formally notify
the WHO that the United
States would cut off all funds
if it votes to admit the PLO.
Even as the statement was
being delivered to news
organizations, the conference's wish appeared to be
granted.
Seymour Reich, who
chairs the conference of 46
national Jewish groups, said
in a telephone interview that
he was "gratified" by
Baker's opposition to any
"back door admission" of
the PLO to the United
Nations.
In Geneva, meanwhile, the
director general of the WHO,
Hinshi Nakajima, departed
for Washington, where he is
expected to discuss the subject with administration and
congressional officials.
Beth Jacob To Hold
Motherhood Sabbath
Jack Rubin, president of
the Beth Jacob Congregation, and Philip Cohen, president of the Beth Jacob Brotherhood have announced
that their organizations will
co-sponsor a kiddush to
honor Jewish mothers, and
members of the Beth Jacob
Sisterhood this coming Shabbos, May 13.
(CONTINUED ON PAOE 4)
Nakajima is said to be concerned that there is no way
to stop the motion to admit
the PLO, which is expected
to receive the votes needed
to pass from Third World nations. He reportedly fears
that a U.S. decision to cut off
funds would seriously impair
the agency's work in
combating disease around;
the world.
Nakajima is to confer with
various members of Congress, including Reps. Gus
Yatron (D-Pa.), chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs
subcommittee with jurisdiction over the United Nations,
and Benjamin Gilman
(R-N.Y.), one of the senior
Republicans on the overall
committee, Capitol Hill
sources said.
The proposal to admit the
PLO to the world health body
also came up at a new round
of talks in Tunis between the
United States and the PLO.
Tutwiler provided few details of the session, saying
only that it was a "real meeting" and not a "telephone
call" or "contact;"
The United States "vigorously opposes" admission
of the PLO as a full member
to any U.N. body, Tutwiler
said. She said that the secretary of state feels "very
strongly" that PLO admission would harm the Middle
East peace process as well
as the "U.N. system."
"Political questions such
as this should not be raised
in specialized agencies, because such politicizatiqn detracts from the important
technical work of these
organizations," she said.

vitality, and humor. This
insightful, entertaining program by the New York-

dish and non-Yiddish
speakers alike, in true klezmer style," Goldsmith said.
In reviewing a performance, the Wall Street Journal stated, "The joint is
jumping; the agent of all this
pandemonium is Kapelye.
Kapelye plays Klezmer
music, and Klezmer is hot."
