Dick Thorn- burgh of Pennsylvania visibly impressed by what he described as "an exciting and rewarding five-day trip through Israel"—his first look—told reporters in Jerusalem that "a strong Israel is central to American interests. If the U.S. wants to preserve its respect ,on the international scene, it must honor its commitments to its allies," according to a report oh*the Governor's trip in this last> week's edition of the Jewish Exponent. The Republican official visited Israel last month. Asked by the Jewisli Exponent correspondent in Israel what report he intends to bring to his fellow Pennsylvania^, Thornburgh said: "I will stress the fact that the U.S. continues to have a staunch friend in Israel, which looks to ,our nation with profound respect. It's been an inspiration to witness the extraordinary progress Jbjs small^, demo.; cratic country has made." -Continuing, the governor asserted: "We have a stake in Israel's stability and advancement, for if we wish to preserve our oil and trade interests in the Middle East we must make every effort to bring a just - and lasting peace to the area." He stressed that he was "confident" that President-elect Reagan "feels the same way, and that he will not allow himself to be pressured by big business and the oil trusts to enter any Anders sForR Navah Burkhart Chronicle Special Reporter Honesty and realism should be foremost in the minds of the Reagan administration, ' Illinois / Congressman John Anderson told 230 persons attending Sunday night's 11th annual "Night For Life" sponsored by the Young Women's and Young Men's Divisions of the Columbus Jewish Federation. ' "More than anything else, the American people do want leaders who will tell them the truth," he said. He added that clarity, consistency and, coherency must be a part of foreign policy. In the after-dinner speech at the Hyatt Regency Columbus, Anderson said the Uni- Congressman John Anderson ted States risks destroying the Middle East peace process by pressuring for an immediate peace. "Such a peace.is simply not available," he said. He also called for sacrifice on the part of the American people to solve the problems facing the country. At the same time he praised the Columbus Jewish community for giving "above and beyond what could be expected" to the causes it has supported. Anderson stressed the need for honesty in the new administration and for realism in assessing the state of the nation. "Does anyone really think that Israel would be alive today more than 30 years after the founding of that state, surrounded as it was by a sea of its enemies, if it had not used that kind of realism in assessing its position and. in framing its policy?" he asked. However,' Anderson (CONTINUEDON PAGE 11) agreement with OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) or other states which would be injurious to Israel." Replying to a question as to whether he believes that cuts in aid to Israel might be made by a Republican Administration, the governor expressed his confidence that the President-elect is aware of the fact that "the U.S. has a stake in Israel" and -would do nothing to weaken that country. He noted that Richard Allen, Reagan's Foreign Policy Advisor, has often stressed Israel's strategic importance to the U.S. "I had a chance to see just how vulnerable Israel's borders are," Thornburgh stresses. "Anyone who goes to' the Galilee can see for .himself why it's necessary for.Israel to be constantly alert, and understandably, sensitive about re-- quests—sometimes demands— froip welMnten- tioned peojple who from afaj^, cannot appreciate the' sit'iia-" tion in which Israel finds itself. It's a small country with vulnerable borders and hostile, well-armed' neighbors. "I can understand why Israel can mistakenly be considered hyper-sensitive on the matter of its security. I visited Yad Vashem, the memorial in Jerusalem to the six million victims who perished in Hitler's Europe. Israelis—indeed, Jews everywhere—are haunted by that trauma. They are determined to survive. I would recommend that every statesman visit that shrine and see for himself why every Israeli tends to view events through the prism of the Holocaust. Six million human beings were butchered as the world looked , on." The governor also remarked that after seeing Jeru-. salem he could appreciate why the city must remain undivided. "Better a little friction now and then," he said, "rather than barbed wire." According to the governor, the Camp David accords hold out the best . possible prospects for peace. "It will undoubtedly become the cornerstone of Reagan's policy vis-a-vis Egypt and Israel," he affirmed. What would be America's position were Israel to be attacked again? "We'd rush aid as fast as possible," came the prompt reply. One of the most moving experiences of the governor's trip occurred when he and his wife Ginny met the relatives in Israel of Jewish "refusniks" they had spoken to during an earlier National Governors'. Association trip to the Soviet Union. The encounter was arranged by Joseph Smukler, president „ of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Philadelphia, and his wife Connie, Philadelphia co- chairperson of JCRC's, Soviet Jewry Council. Speaking out strongly against Russian persecution of Jews wishing to leave for Israel, the governor stated that "until the question of granting human rights is satisfactorily settled, there could be little opportunity for increased trade between the U.S. and the Soviet Union," which the Kremlin desires. He strongly endorsed the Jackson-Vanik amendment which he maintained had compelled the .Russians to mitigate their oppression of their Jewish minority. He stated that he (CONTINUED ON PAGE 12!
