Lilienthal who visited King Saud of Saudi Arabia, is not a leader of the organization. “Membership in our organization is open to any American of Jewish faith who subscribes to our principles, “the Council said. “Mr. Lilienthal qualities only as a member because presumably he subscribes to our principles. “
