October 19, 1990 Dr. Lawrence J. Korb The Brookings Institution Center for Public Education 1775 Massachusetts Avenue N.W. Washington D.C. 20036-2183 Dr. Morris Pollard Coleman Professor and Director Lobund Laboratory University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, Indiana Dear Professor Pollard: It was with great sadness and empathy that I read your letter of September 24, 1990. It must be so very difficult for you to deal with your sonšs situation. I am not aware of exactly what Weinberger told the Court about the impact of the information Jonathan passed to Israel. I do know that Weinberger had an almost visceral dislike of Israel and the special place it occupies in our foreign policy. In my opinion, the severity of the sentence that Jonathan received was out of proportion to his alleged offense. I wish there were something I could do to help you, but I am afraid all I can offer you are my prayers and empathy. Sincerely, (signed) Larry Korb Lawrence J. Korb Director Dr. Korb was an Assistant Secretary of Defense for Manpower during the Reagan Administration. -----------
