Earlier, an ecumenical reception in honor of the visitor was given here by the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, an inter-faith coalition of American business and religious leaders. Rosen met with leaders of the Catholic, Protestant. Greek Orthodox and Armenian Orthodox faiths in addition to Jewish religious leaders. Rabbi Arthur Schneier, president of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation, presented the Chief Rabbi with a Torah cover in recognition of his personal courage and leadership.

Rosen visited Washington accompanied by Schneier who is also chairman of the American-Rumanian Earthquake Relief. He had a two-hour meeting with the Rumanian Ambassador Nicolae-Nicolae. The envoy gave a luncheon in the Chief Rabbi’s honor attended by leaders of the American Jewish Committee, World Jewish Congress and Union of American Hebrew Congregations.
