From Wikipedia: "David Harris in 1979 began working for the American Jewish Committee (AJC). Since 1990, Harris has served as the Executive Director of the AJC. Harris is a leading Jewish advocate who meets with world leaders to advance Israel's diplomatic standing and promote international human rights and inter-religious and inter-ethnic understanding. Among the highlights of his career, Harris was central to the emigration of over one million Jews from the Soviet Union. For 16 years, Harris was a key figure in the successful struggle to repeal the infamous "Zionism is racism" resolution (United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3379) adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1975, only the second time in UN history a resolution was actually repealed."
