The White House invited . Theodore Mann, chairman of the Conference of Piesidents of Major Ameri- can Jewish • Organizations, and other Jewish leaders to the meeting that Mann later said "primarily" was • to discuss the Iranian situa- tion.

For literature and interview appointment phone Detroit rep., 313-851-5640 President's special assis- tant on Jewish and other matters, met privately for 10 minutes before they entered into a discussion that lasted for another 80 minutes with the 14 other Jewish leaders and Vice President Walter Mon- dale, .Zbigniew Brzezinski, the National Affairs Security Adviser; his deputy, David Axon; William Quandt, the Na- tional Security Council's Middle East specialist; and Harold Saunders, Assistant Secretary of State for the Middle East. , Meeting with reporters on the White House grounds, Mann said under questioning that "we were assured by the Administra- tion" its position not to have dealings with the PLO "stands regardless" of Young's statements in New York. American Jewish leaders blasted Young for remarks they termed as favorable toward the PLO. President Carter was urged to dis- sociate his Administration from the views expressed by Young in an interview pub- lished in Interdependent, the organ if the United Na- tions Association of the United States. Some demanded the envoy's removal and others also criticized the State De- partment for contending that Young's observations represent his own views. Young was quoted as saying that the PLO has "tremendous influence" in the Arab countries, that the basic reason for the absence of any U.S. link with the PLO is that Israel is opposed to it and that the PLO's UN obser- vers are "very skilled politicians and very intel- ligent, decent human be- ings" who have acted as a "moderating influence" in the UN. Mann declared, "We are deeply disturbed by Ambas- sador Young's remarks, which appear to condone the philosophy and tactics of the group of murderers that calls itself the Palestine. Liberation Organization. We cannot believe that Young's remarks represent either the enduring inter- ests or the current policy of this Administration, espe- cially in light of the President's characteriza- tion of the PLO as compar- able to Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan." Maxwell -E. Greenberg, national chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith, made public a letter to Young in which he charged that the envoy has "apparently" made a deci- sion to support a PLO cam- paign designed to make the terrorist organization a regular member of the United Nations." He said he was "aghast" that Young, a religious minister and representative of the U.S. government, would call "spokesmen for murderers 'decent human beings.' " In Washington, Jack J. Spitzer, president of Bnai Brith, declared that the 500,000 members of . the Jewish service organiza- tion hoped Young was not attempting to "lay the groundwork for U.S. recognition" of the PLO. Julius . Berman, president of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, and Fred Ehrman, chairman of its Israel" Commission, assailed the "double standard which Ambassador Young applies on issues of human rights throughout the world." They urged the Administra- tion to condemn the crimes of the PLO "in the same harsh terms that Ambas- sador Young applies to the other tyrannical entities throughout the world, and to discipline or remove" Young for "the irreparable damage that he has already done to America's prestige." Beatrice S. Tannenbaum, president of Hadassah, noted that Young, as a civil rights leader, "advocated non-violent action and the goal of brotherhood and re- conciliations" and asked how he reconciles this with the PLO's record of interna- tional murders. In telegrams to Carter and Young, Rabbi Joseph Sternstein, president of the American Zionist Federa- tion, stressed that "despite State 'Department dissocia- tion with Young's view- point, the fact remains that as a representative of the United States, the ambas- sador has a duty to reflect and promote national policy in all of his public state- ments. . . ." He charged that Young's statements have "given new strength and legitimacy to this gang of murderers (PLO), un- dermining established American policy." Richard Maass, president of the American Jewish Committee, welcomed 'the State Department's "prompt disavowal" of Young's statements as "the minimum step the Ad- ministration should take." In a telegram to Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Ivan J. Novick, president of the Zionist Organization of America, asked whether Young's remarks reflected the views of the Adminis- tration and whether Young was "attempting to influ- ence. the Administration to change it's policy and cater to the PLO."
