Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress, told a closed meeting of Mapam that the influence of American Jewish leaders on the Nixon administration was limited, “rather weak,” and that they have little access to Nixon. According to Dr. Goldmann, the decline in the political clout of these leaders is that the so-called Jewish vote is of less importance in the coming 1972 elections so far as the Republican Party leaders are concerned. Nixon’s political advisors are seeking to win southern Democrats to Republican tickets in 1972 and less interested in areas where the Jewish vote is concentrated.
