Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) announced that he will not seek a fourth term in 2000 due to the heavy fund-raising that would be involved. Before his first election to the Senate in 1982, Lautenberg served as national campaign chairman for the United Jewish Appeal. Lautenberg, one of 11 Jewish Senators, is known as a strong supporter of Israel, the peace process, gun control and tobacco regulation.
