Israel is also a very powerful force in the halls of Congress. You mention Senator Mitchell, who supports the Canadian point of view on acid rain.
Maine is also very concerned about acid rain for the same reasons as Canada.

It may not be very powerful, it may be very powerful, but often it is possible for a foreign country to have certain congressmen who are sensitive to that ethnic vote.

In the case of Canada, of course, we have an enormous number of Canadians in the United States.
