Though Carter has repeatedly underscored the U.S.'s "special relationship" with Israel, his policy initiatives have made it harder and harder for Jews to see the evidence of that commitment.

Later he joined with the Soviet Union in endorsing "the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people." Through it all, the White House has seemed-to Jews at least-to be leaning...

...desire to operate in the full light of day. Despite its efforts, the Clark subcommittee was unable to decide which were the largest U.S. firms in South Africa. This lack of even very basic knowledge of U.S. corporate activities in South Africa hampers any attempts to monitor the relationship between the companies and the Vorster government. Employing the same criteria used in United Nations estimates, the Clark subcommittee decided that the 13 largest American firms in South Africa are General Motors, Mobil Oil, Exxon, Standard Oil of California, Ford Motor Co., ITT, General Electric, Chrysler, Firestone, Goodyear...
