The name of the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs has been changed to American Israel Public Affairs Committee by decision of its executive board, Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein, chairman of the organization, announced today.
The change was made to reflect the fact that the committee is supported by all elements of the American Jewish community rather than Zionists alone. The committee will continue to conduct public action in Washington with a view to strengthening friendship of the U.S. and Israel, and to counteract Arab lobbying against Israel.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
