Friday, April 21, 1919 11 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Reaction to Strauss Is Mixed UNBELIEVABLE! By JOSEPH POLAKOFF WASHINGTON (JTA) - Reactions were decidedly mixed Wednesday on President Carter's ap- pointment of Robert Strauss, one of his chid' trouble-shooters, to be the U.S., ambassador-at-large during the next round of Middle East peace negotia- tions scheduled to begin next month. The appointment was praised as "superb" and "great" by Jewish com- munal and political obser- vers in Washington and in Texas as a big plus towards more progress towards an Arab-Israeli settlement be- cause of Strauss' persuasive skills as a' mediator. Others thought his virtu- ally total lack of experience with Arabs and Israelis and his Jewish background would handicap him. These observers also thought the appointment was weighted more in the direction of domestic political consider- ations than for interna- tional progress. Strauss will replace Alfred Atherton, a foreign service careerist with a decade of personal experience in Arab- Israeli - affairs, as ambassador-at-large. Atherton is slated to go to Cairo as ambassador to Egypt. . • 4 • - '4 4 4, 4 That's what you'll say about the values you'll see at this amazing event.

Previously he was Carter's chief inflation fighter. Strauss told reporters that he accepted the "most complex and most difficult" assignment with "hesita- tion and reluctance" and that "I have got lots of learn- ing to do." Carter said there "is nobody I know of who is better qualified to take on the complex and difficult negotiations." Strauss, one of the few non-Georgians to enter Car- ter's inner circle of advisers at the White House, was not in Carter's corner in the 1976 election until after Carter had virtually gar- nered the nomination. After his appointment was announced, Strauss was asked if he thought that his Jewishness would hin- der him in his new task. "I have never considered my religious origin as an obsta- cle to this or anything else I've ever done," Strauss said. - Carter said that he cleared the appointment with Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin and Egyp- tian President Anwar Sadat and "their response was pos- itive and enthusiastic." Strauss had met with Begin and Sadat last week when he headed a U.S. delegation to the two countries to dis- cuss U.S. trade and invest- ment.
