Philip E. Hoffman, president of the American Jewish Committee, has been sent “cordial” congratulations by Yitzhak Rabin, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, on his appointment as United States representative on the United Nations Human Rights Commission. Rabin said Hoffman had a “fine record in the service of the Jewish Community.” The 52-year-old New Jersey attorney will retain his AJ Committee post. The US post on the UN commission has been vacant since January when Mrs. Rita Hauser resigned to work on President Nixon’s re-election campaign. The commission is scheduled to hold its next session in February.
