Blitzer bumped by Bush
by David Landau
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The
Jerusalem Post’s Washington cor
respondent, Wolf Blitzer, was
dropped at the last moment from
U.S. Vice President George Bush’s
party visiting the Middle East this
week, although Blitzer is an Amer
ican citizen and an accredited White
House correspondent.
Bush arrived in Jerusalem Sun
day at the start of a four-day visit
to Israel after which he will be
going on to Jordan, Egypt and
possibly Morocco.
Blitzer, who also writes for sev
eral other newspapers, was told
that he could not accompany the
vice president as he would not be
welcome in Jordan.
The reporters, who had origi
nally been invited by Bush to join
his entourage, had received a visa
Nazi’s son gives
book collection
to Tel Avivllniv.
WASHINGTON—Tel Aviv
University has announced that it is
the beneficiary of some 8,000 vol
umes from the book collection of
Dr. Deitrich Kramer,who died at
age 72 in Gottingen, West Ger
many. In addition to volumes on
Judaica and anti-Semitism, the
collection includes histories and
legends of peoples of the world.
Kramer’s “mother was active in
the Nazi movement and as a result
he broke all ties with his family,”
the announcement said. “After the
Second World War, he continued
to view all Germans as Nazis, and
he lived in isolation, surrounded
by his books which overflowed
into every corner of his home. His
relationship with Israel began in
1961 when he first visited the coun
try as a member of a German
delegation.
Dr. Kramer’s last words to his
friend Eli Rothschild upon donat
ing his book collection were ‘You
are the last humanists from Ger
many who will be able to make use
of it.’”

Wolf Blitzer
to Jordan personally signed by the
Jordanian ambassador to Wash
ington, who had given Blitzer his
“strong assurances” of a welcome
in Amman.
Only a few hours before the trip,
Blitzer was informed by Stephen
Hart, assistant press secretary to
the vice president, that Hart had
been told during his preparatory
trip to Amman that Blitzer would
not be welcome because he would
be writing about the trip for an
Israeli paper, the Jerusalem Post.
Blitzer, however, says that he
had personally clarified this point
with the Jordanian ambassador to
the U.S., Mohammed Kamal, who
himself had cleared the problem
with Jordan’s foreign minister,
Taher el Masri.
Blitzer had accepted a Jordan
ian suggestion that he should pre
sent himself as a syndicated
columnist although, according to
Kamal, “everyone in Jordan” knew
that he was the Post’s Washington
correspondent and that his articles
would appear in that paper.
After Bush’s rejection of Blitzer,
the ambassador received an assu
rance from the press spokesman at
the Royal Palace in Amman that
the reporter “would indeed be wel
come.” However, in a subsequent
conversation with Hart, Blitzer was
told that the U.S. Embassy in Jor
dan had also informed the vice
president that Blitzer would not be
welcome, and that his rejection
from the travel party was final.
