A Colorado Committee for Elected Officials of Concern for Soviet Jewry was formed at a recent opening meeting where Eugene Gold, chairman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry (NCSJ) and Brooklyn District Attorney was guest speaker. The 82-member group, is co-chaired by Denver District Attorney Dale Tooley; Fred Anderson, President of the State Senate; Secretary of State Mary Estill Buchanan; and Sen. Dennis Gallagher of Denver.
The Committee is a pilot project in association with the NCSJ, which is being duplicated across the United States in cooperation with the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council and local Community Relations Councils. The Committee, the first of its kind in the nation, includes state legislators, mayors, city council members, county commissioners, district attorneys and university regents.
