Daniel Patrick Moynihan resigned his position as United States Ambassador
to the United Nations Monday and the resignation was promptly accepted by
President Ford “with the deepest regret and reluctance.”
Moynihan said he was resigning because “it is time to return to teaching” at
Harvard University where his leave of absence tenure was officially ended.
However, Harvard agreed that if Pat Moynihan wanted to he could serve at
the United Nations until he completed his Security Council presidency.
Moynihan, a democrat and former Ambassador to India besides being
advisor to four previous presidents, told President Ford, “You have been
unfailing in your encouragement and support and I have with the fullest
commitment sought to carry out your general policies and your specific
instructions.”
Ford, in his reply, stated: “You have consistently elevated public discourse
by puncturing pretense and by eloquently advocating the course of reason...In
doing so you have not only reminded Americans that we take the institutions
seriously but that we take ourselves and the principles for which we stand
seriously.”
Moynihan does not flinch in the face of adversity and is a friend of all people
of good will. As an American, dedicated to the principles of freedom, the
principles, which President Ford said, “for which we stand seriously,” Pat
Moynihan had to speak out when he saw the cow-towing to the oilsters,
cartelists and Arab pussyfooters at the expense of Israel, that was doing by
resettling refugees and rehabilitating lives instead of castigating others.
Moynihan recently received B’nai B’rith’s highest award, the Gold Medallion.
David M. Blumberg, president of B’nai B’rith, said that Moynihan showed a
“vigorous and eloquent defiance of diplomatic ambiguity and hypocrisy and
commitment to truth and justice in international discourse.”
B’nai B’rith’s David Blumberg and Ambassador Moynihan
Pat meant what he said even though it
forced his resignation...
Speaking of amigos, we’ve a follow-up on a story we ran last week
concerning the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish
Organizations.

Ford, Rabin Pledge
Continued Cooperation
During Official Visit
WASHINGTON (WNS)
A pledge of continuing
cooperation and friendship
between the United States
and Israel in the effort to
reach a durable and just
peace in the Middle East
was the theme of Premier
Yitzhak Rabin’s second offi-
cial visit to Washington. But
President Ford stressed the
need for movement in the
Mideast diplomatic process
while Rabin was reportedly
concerned with American
financial support for Israel.
These two items were
reportedly the center of
discussion between Ford
and Rabin at three W^hite
House meetings, the last one
unscheduled. After the first
80-minute meeting, White
House Press Secretary Ron
Nessen reported that Ford
“reaffirmed long-standing
American support for the
security of Israel” and
stressed “the need now is for
all sides to search for ways
of continuing the process of
mutual compromise and
comprehension in order to
achieve a just and durable
peace.” Nessen also said that
“The President stressed the
importance for these talks
for developing ideas on how
next to move as part of our
overall consultations with
the parties involved.” He
repeated his determination
to avoid “a hiatus in
negotiations.”
The theme was also appar-
ent when Ford welcomed
Rabin in a 27-minute cere-
mony on the White House
lawn in driving rain as 2368
specially-invited guests, in-
cluding Rabbi and Mrs.
Isadore Garsek of Fort
Worth, standing under
umbrellas, watched the two
bare-headed leaders ex
change greetings. Rabin,1
making his third visit to the
U.S. since becoming Pre-
mier, arrived from Phila-
delphia where he partici-
pated in a Bicentennial
ceremony at the Liberty
Bell. Ford, greeting Rabin
with “shalom,” said that
“your visit gives me the
opportunity to reaffirm on
behalf of the American
people the enduring friend-
ship of our two countries,
the traditional commitment
of the United States to
Israel’s security and sur-
vival and the dedication of
the United States to 9eek
with Israel’s cooperation a
comprehensive and just
solution for the conflict in
the Middle East.” The
President stressed that the
task of Israel, its Arab
neighbors and the U.S. is “to
seize this historic opportu-
nity to translate this hope
into reality.”
In his reply, Rabin noted
that in Jewish tradition rain
means blessings. He pointed
out that he was the first
head of a foreign govern-
ment to visit the U.S. during
the Bicentennial and wished
“shalom” to “all communities
across your great country,
including the Jewish com-
munity with whom we have
a profound, historic spiritual
tie.” Noting that America’s
Bicentennial was being
