GALE, MICHAEL R.: Files, 1982-1983

 

Office of Public Liaison (Jewish Affairs)

 

Michael Gale left a position as a lobbyist with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to join the White House staff in June 1982. Prior to his AIPAC position, he had been Deputy Director of the National Jewish Republican Coalition during the 1980 Presidential campaign. When Gale left the Reagan White House in December 1983, he was replaced by Marshall Breger as the chief White House contact for Jewish organizations and issues. 

 

Some of the material within the Michael Gale collection predates his time at the White House.  Included is work product from other Office of Public Liaison staff such as Jack Burgess and Diana Lozano.

 

For a fuller comprehension of the work of public liaison to the American Jewish community during the Reagan administration, see also collections for Michael Breger, Max Green, Jacob Stein, and Matt Zachari.
