Cable Address: ZOAOUSE, TELAVIV ההסתדרות הציונית של ארצות הברית 145 EAST 32ND STREET • NEW YORK 16, N.Y. • MURRAY HILL 3-920 1 To The 59th National Convention of the Zionist Organization of America Dear Fellow Zionist: This current report covers ZOA's fifty-ninth year. The twelve months, ending August 31st, 1956, were by far among the most active in our history. The accounts, which follow my own, outline the principal activities that took place and suggest the remarkable scope of our activities. It will repay careful study. Our ZOA Program for Israel and the American Jewish Community attracted a most gratifying degree of interest from the public. ZOA membership increased and our fund-raising rose. The Zionist Organization of America, I believe, is in a healthy condition in all major respects, except for a vitally important need for increased income to improve its financial stability, a pressing requirement to perform its functions more efficiently. Further on, I will have more to say about these problems. The organization is functioning smoothly despite the heavy load of the tense situation in Israel and the Middle East, the increase in our activities, and the financial burdens of the past year. Our President, Mortimer May, his administra- tion and our staff are loyal, capable, and deeply devoted to the organization they serve. They are the mainsprings of our progress, and we owe them a very real debt of gratitude. I am glad to say that in the course of the year it was possible to make some staff adjustments in salaries, which gave practical expression to this appreciation. The foundation of any organization is its program and activities. Ours is generally agreed to be the foremost and most active Zionist Organization in the world. Our primary goal is to continue to improve our work for Israel and Jewry and to expand it modestly within our means. The officers and membership of our organization share our faith in the future of Israel and Jewry and the continued need for the Zionist Organization of America. They share, too, the belief that constant advancement is essential to the vitality and efficacy of our organization. They, therefore, conceive the role of ZOA as supporting promising experiments and new developments in the advancement of Zionist objectives. The work in the fields of Young Adult Zionists and Hebrew have been intensi- fied. We are building new leadership to assume the future responsibilities of Zionist and American Jewish community life. Every part of our program projected by the 58th Annual Convention has been implemented and even exceeded. Our work in Israel and our public relations and educational activities on the American scene is the story of the unconventional which has become the common-place, of the un- tried which has become the routine, of the non-conforming which has become the customary. This has always been the happy as well as the challenging mission of our Zionist Organization of America. Entering our sixtieth year is an appropriate point from which to focus on the future aims and needs of the Zionist Organization of America. A ZOA Platform has utilize־ been formulated for presentation to the National Convention. It will financial resources to encourage experimentation in directions which will advance Zionism, Jewry and Israel. A review of our expanded services in the following pages, combined with constantly rising costs, has resulted in an increase in expenditures. But through economies and increased income, the operating budget has been held closely in balance. During the past few years there has been a significant rise in American Zionist Fund contributions which have been utilized for our program. Our revenue for administration is solely derived from membership income, A high proportion of all income coming from the thousands of members through the country indicates strong public support. On the other hand, heavy dependence on these far too modest resources often make it difficult for the organization to undertake projects of great intrinsic value which do not promise to capture the public imagination. There is no doubt that the organization would be in a far healthier financial situation and better able to perform its functions if it could substantially increase its income from the American Zion- ist Fund. This can be done only by making the most intense effort to increase our American Zionist Fund contributions and by making our financial needs clear to those who might potentially be interested in making gifts or bequests to the Zionist Organization of America. The best hope of achieving these Zionist goals is to continue to provide the kinds of program and activity for Israel and Jewry which people everywhere will feel deserve their support. Besides performing our functions well, we must also make it clear to those interested or potentially interested that we need help and that our increased roster of membership and our rate of growth of American Zionist Fund collections are not enough in themselves to solve our basic, serious financial questions. In closing, I must say a special word of thanks to the officers and governing bodies of our regions and districts. They have been extremely generous in contributing time, effort, intelligent advice and important financial support. They constituted one of the most important reasons for ZOA'8 continued success. No attempt has been made in this report to review all of our projects and activities. Those reviewed have been selected to illustrate the nature of our concerns and operations. I do hope that this 59th Annual Convention will stimulate profitable thinking and discussion of those fundamental problems facing Israel, Jewry and your ZOA so as to generate clearer concepts of the ends to be sought and better an organization on which so ־ ideas of the means to achieve them through ZOA large a measure of our hope for the future of our People depends. In this spirit, this report is respectfully submitted. My kindest personal regards. Sincerely yours, Dr. Sidney Marks National Secretary and Executive Director A £NT־ACCOU NT IMG DS ?A R17 The fiscal year ending August 31, 1956 "brought many problems and difficul- ties to the organization. The continuous emergencies, the many new activities such as Young Adult Zionists and Hebrew Culture 86 Language, the expansion of old ones, the payment of our Shekel obligation to the World Zionist Organization, ex- penses in connection with the World Zionist Congress, and the continuing rise in costs, in every field, paper, printing, postage and labor in particular, played havoc with our budgets and our finances. In spite of reduction of staff and every economy which could be instituted without hampering the work of the organization, it was impossible to find adequate funds for all our needs. Our membership ex- ceeded that of the previous year, our fund raising showed a splendid increase, but greater financial resources are required to keep our organization on a sound fi- nancial basis. The Accounting Department has done everything within its power to administer faithfully all funds of the organization and keep accurate records thereof.

  • S:\OHP\Mcclure Oral History\Final\Preface.Wpd
    PREFACE The Senate Committee on Labor, Education, and Public Welfare was a catchall committee which handled legislation on health, education, labor, veterans' affairs, juvenile delinquency, problems of the aging, and sundry other subjects. For many years the Senate's conservative "Inner Club" looked upon the committee as a convenient place to assign and isolate their more liberal colleagues. The committee labored long each session only to see its handiwork stalled on the Senate floor or blocked in the House of Representatives. Yet, under the effective chairmanship of Lister Hill, and his successors Ralph Yarborough and Harrison Williams, the Labor Committee produced a series of landmark social legislation, much of which was enacted during the heyday of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. Stewart E. McClure served as the committee's chief clerk during this turning point era, from 1955 to 1969, and from 1971 to 1973. In these oral history interviews he recounts the committee's frustrations and its triumphs, and recalls its most significant members, such as Wayne Morse, John Kennedy, Joseph Clark, Jacob Javits, Barry Goldwater, and Everett Dirksen. As chief clerk he attended and took minutes for all executive sessions, scheduled hearings, oversaw the staff, assisted the chairman, drafted speeches, and served as an "idea man." One of his ideas was to link education to defense in the wake of the Soviet Sputnik scare, a proposal which resulted in the National Defense Education Act. McClure discusses both legislation and the legislative process, and the senators and staff who shaped American lawmaking from the 1950s to the 1970s. He also gives candid assessments of the internal politics and stresses of committee life during those years.
