As an aide to Ohio Congressman Charles Vanik, he was considered to have played an instrumental role in securing passage of the 1974 Jackson–Vanik amendment, which enabled the right of Soviet Jews to emigrate from the Soviet Union. In 1975 he created the Washington Action Office of the Jewish Federations of North America and served as its director for 18 years. He was also active in Holocaust affairs, being President Jimmy Carter's appointee as vice chairman of the Holocaust Museum Memorial Council which arranged for the establishment of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
