Senators join WETA
to praise Kampelman
WASHINGTON—Ambassador
Max Kampelman, who is getting
the kind of praise from United
States senators that they used to
give to Henry Kissinger when he
was secretary of state for Presi
dents Nixon and Ford, had a Yid
dish story about compliments to
tell at a lunch in his honor at the
Capitol.
The New Yorker who is Presi
dent Reagan’s chief representative
in the Soviet-American arms con
trol talks in Geneva was being
feted by WETA, the Public Broad
casting Service’s television station
in Washington, on its 25th anni
versary because he was its board
chairman from 1963 to 1970 and
originator of “Washington Week
in Review,” the longest running
news program on PBS. WETA
gave him its first Public Affairs
Award.
At the lunch. Sen. Ted Stevens
(R.-Alaska) pointed to Kampelman
and said, "He’s a national asset.”
Stevens is chairman of the Senate
delegation that monitors the Gen
eva talks. Sen. John Warner (R-
Va.) said, “No contemporary Amer
ican has made more of his life by
what he has given than the man we
honor today. Max Kampelman.”
Kampelman, who was chief ad
visor to Democrat Hubert H. Hum
phrey when he was a Minnesota
senator, vice president and candi
date for president, ended his accep
tance of the plaudits from the score
of senators of both parties who
were present with the following
story as reported in the Washing
ton Post.
“I would like to conclude, if I
may, with a Yiddish tale. It is the
tale of a learned rabbi who went to
heaven and faced his Maker. In the
berg worked diligently throughout
the year, providingthe input neces
sary for the board of trustees to
arrive at these decisions. The allo
cations process takes place through
four subcommittees: Counseling
and Social Services; Education;
Recreation, Culture and Youth;
and National and Overseas.
Each subcommittee met several
times to review the needs, requests,
and budget of each agency. In
addition to ongoing programs,'
funding requests were considered
for new and expanded programs.
Early in the year, the subcom
mittees met with agency represen
tatives to review the year-to-date
budget experiences and initiate the
planning process for the next year.
In April, beneficiary agencies and
national organizations submitted
budget requests for the coming
year. Based on their experience
and knowledge after working with
each agency, the subcommittees
prepared recommendations which
were presented to the Federation
board of a vote.
This process involves individu
als representing the diverse inter
ests of Atlanta’s Jewish commun
ity. Committee members devote
countless hours, studying materials
and attending meetings, to insure
that equitable decisions can be
made, for the benefit of Jews in
Atlanta, Israel and around the
world.

Max Kampelman
Hassidic tradition of questioning
and challenging, the rabbi asked
God why he found it so necessary
to have people by the billions praise
him continually, many, many times
a day.
‘“Why do you need these count
less words of praise? It is not
becoming,’ the rabbi said. The Lord
patiently responded, ‘I want my
children to pray to me because if
they were not so occupied they
would be praising and honoring
one another and that could be
corrupting.’
“With that Yiddish tale in mind,”
Kampelman added. “1 would like
to conclude by saying may God
bless you all.”
