NEW YORK (JTA) —
Two leading Jews in the
Carter Administration said
that they believed that de-
spite President Carter's
present difficulties in the
Jewish community he will
receive the vote of the
majority of Jews in the No-
vember election.
Secretary of Commerce
Philip Klutznick and Alfred
Moses, a special assistant to
Carter and liaison with
the Jewish community,
spoke at a press conference
for the Jewish media t the
Carter-Mondale headquar-
ters for the Democratic Na-
tional Convention.
Klutznick, who is on
leave as president of the
World Jewish Congress,
said that after President
Carter is renominated
Wednesday night the Ad-
ministration "hopes to re-
move some of the misap-
prehensions that seem" to
have developed about the
President within the Jewish
community.
Althought Klutznick
did not say how this
would be done, Moses
said that a committee to
deal with Jewish voters
would be set up soon. He
also said that Carter
plans to host Jewish
leaders at the White
House Aug. 26 and 28 and
to make a major address
to the biennial conven-
tion of Bnai Brith Inter-
national in Washington
in September.
When asked about the
fear in the Jewish commu-
nity that if re-elected, Car-
ter as a second-term
President would feel free to
pressure Israel and support
the Palestinians, both men
rejected this.
Klutznick noted that the
Jewish community has
"mistrusted Presidents
since Truman." Moses
added that Jews can re-
member the arms embargo
put on Israel by Truman,
Eisenhower's threats dur-
ing the 1956 Suez War, the
fact that very little arms
were sold Israel during the
Kennedy Administration,
President Johnson's slow-
ness to act when the Strait
of Tiran was closed in 1967
and his slowness to support
Israel in the Six-Day War,
the dragging of feet" by the
Nixon Administration to
rearm Israel during the
Yom Kippur War and
President Ford's "reassess-
ment" in 1975.
"None of this happened
under the Carter Adminis-
tration," Moses declared.
"This Administration and
this Congress" have pro-
vided the military needs so
that Israel can now defend
itself against any combina-
tion of enemies over the
next five years, he stressed.
He said that although
the proposed Democratic
Party platform contains
a provision calling for
moving the U.S. Embassy
in Israel from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem, the Carter
Administration will fol-
low the Camp David
agreement calling for no
unilateral moves on
Jerusalem but a
negotiated agreement be-
tween the parties in-
volved.
When asked why Or-
thodox Jews should support
the Democratic platform
since the Republicans op-
pose abortions and the
Equal Rights Amendment
and support aid to parochial
schools, Moses urged, "look
at the whole range of issues
that concern us as Jews"
when judging the two par-
ties. He said if this is done,
Orthodox Jews will see that
the Democrats provide more
programs that concern the
quality of their life.
It is good discretion not to
make too much of any man
at the first.
