Legislation

By Joseph Polakoff        ,
WASHINGTON (JTA)-A
Senate-House Conference
Committee is to adjust differences between two
amendments of the Export
Administration Act designed
to toughen U.S. sales of
transports to countries aiding terrorists. Libya, Iraq,
South Yemen and probably
Syria would be immediately
affected by the legislation,
Congressional sources told
tne Jewish Telegraphic
Agency. Aleria's situation is
hot clear, the sources said.
The House on. Tuesday
adopted - an amendment
offered by -Rep. Milicent
Fenwick (R.-N.J.),..which
would require,an export license for aircraft sales exceeding $7 million. This
would ban the transfer of
eqii:pment such as the Boeing1 727. Her. amendment
would also require the Administration to notify the
-HouseForeign Affairs Com-
..-mittee and the Senate For-

proposed "sales. The Secre-

supporting terrorists and the
military potential of aircraft
proposed for sale. There was

A Time For An Accounting

A Happy And Prosperous
New Year To All
From The Staff Of The
Ohio Jewish Chronicle
< A Seven Arts Feature)
The 10-day period which
starts with Rosh Hashana
and ends with .Yom Kippur
has'traditionally been used
by Jews to take a "Cheshbon
Nefesh," an accounting of
the soul. It should also be an
opportunity for the individial
Jew to assess his or her relationship to the local Jewish
community and the Jewish
people as a whole.
In the United States
nothing has united Jews as
much as danger to Jews at
home or abroad. American
Jews have worked together
to combat anti-Semitism in
the United States whether it
involved physical danger or
such things as job discrimination and college quotas.
Since  the  19th Century,
American    Jews    have
- responded to every danger of
their brethren abroad.-The
Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel
have brought a commitment
from most Jews that Israel
must be assured of its survival. This commitment became even stronger in the
days before the 1967 Six-Day"
War and during and after the
1973 Yom Kippur War, even
by many who had never before concerned themselves
with Jewish issues, when
there was a fear that Israel
could be destroyed. This
commitment is also
expressed in the strong support American Jews have
given the struggle for Soviet
Jewry. r
Yet it sometimes appears
that 'many. Jews see their
Jewish commitment only as
a response to a crisis. Their
only expression of Judaism

"With you, we recommit ourselves to cherish the
freedom of all peoples and to strive peacefully for
its realization. With you we pray not-for an escape

"Gevalt."
A more positive approach
is needed.- for "gevaltism"
cannot be expected to continuously sustain Jewish life. It
has not stopped assimilation
or the growing rate of intermarriage.
Instead of only reacting to
trouble. Jews must seek a
more creative approach,
whether it is through religion, culture or other forms
of Jewish life.
The .ultimate commitment, of course, is aliya. But
since, realistically. ' most
American Jews will not immigrate to Israel it is necessary that a vigorous Jewish
