...thing about U.S. foreign policy that is sure to change under Jimmy Carter's Administration is its accent−from Henry Kissinger's German to Zbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski's Polish. As the special presidential assistant for national security affairs, the brilliant 48-year-old Warsaw-born academic will share with Carter and incoming Secretary of State Cyrus Vance the primary responsibility for the conduct of America's foreign affairs. Whether he will overshadow Vance as McGeorge Bundy sometimes did Dean Rusk and Kissinger almost always did William Rogers, remains to be seen...
Among the others summoned by Carter were four possible candidates for Defense Secretary: Caltech President Harold Brown, former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, Bendix Corp. Chairman Michael Blumenthal and Washington Lawyer Paul Warnke. Carter also interviewed Columbia Professor Zbigniew Brzezinski, who may become his national security adviser; Washington State Representative Brock Adams, a possible Transportation Secretary; former IBM Corp.

No fewer than 16 other Trilateralites-about a quarter of the commission's U.S. members-are advising Carter during the transition.

Chief Leonard Woodcock; Attorney Paul Warnke, a possible choice for Secretary of Defense; and Columbia Professor Richard Gardner, a Carter foreign policy aide...

But former Secretary of State Dean Rusk, a law professor at the University of Georgia, who met with Carter at week's end, is pushing Benjamin Read, 51, who earned Rusk's respect as his top executive assistant during the difficult Viet Nam War policy days. Another possibility: Henry Owen, 56, a political and military affairs specialist and president of the Brookings Institution. Former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger, 47, fired by Ford, has impressed Carter...
...watchful for these new developments. It is increasingly aware of the potential role that it could play in the Middle East, and the Carter administration will probably try to exploit the opportunity arising from a new and dynamic situation. Since Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter's foreign policy advisor, has stressed the need for a solution to the Palestinian question as a prerequisite for progress in the Middle East, considerable pressure on Israel can be expected...
