New York, NY, March 30, 1999…The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) commended US leadership in the NATO air strikes in Kosovo.

In a letter to President Bill Clinton, Howard P. Berkowitz, ADL National Chairman, and Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, said, "We have seen time and time again the dangers of allowing ethnic conflicts to fester until they become more dangerous and costly to address. Together with so many Americans who do not want to see the slaughter of innocent civilians, we are proud to have a government that upholds humanitarian ideals and refuses to turn a blind eye to these victims."

The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.
