STEIN, JACOB: Files, 1981-1982

 

Office of Public Liaison

 

Jacob (Jack) Stein served as Special Advisor to the White House for Jewish Affairs from April 1981 to January 1982. Stein served as the Administration’s liaison with the Jewish community and as a liaison with the Office of Policy Development and the National Security Council on issues and policy of interest to the Jewish community.

 

Following Stein’s departure from the White House in January 1982, his duties and functions were handled by his assistant, Beth Barnes.  She received direction from Jack Burgess and Red Cavaney.  Stein’s successor, Michael Gale, started working in the White House Public Liaison Office in June 1982.  This interim period has created some question of work product ownership for the collection.  The Reagan Library has made the following determinations: material found in the collection with work product from both Beth Barnes and Jack Stein has been assigned to the Stein collection.  Material found in the collection with work product from both Beth Barnes and Michael Gale was assigned to the Gale collection. 

 

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

 

The collection was arranged into three series. The series are: SERIES I: Subject File; SERIES II: Event File; and SERIES IIII: Correspondence and Schedules.
