Vance, Brzezinski, Jordan and Stuart Eizenstat, the White House Issues Coordinator, invited individual Jewish leaders to meetings or lunches, fielding their complaints and assuring them that they had nothing to fear from Carter.

Gordon Liddy's Watergate sentence. A rapidly rising member of the Carter staff is Domestic Policy Assistant Stuart E. Eizenstat, 34.
