Max Green, acting staff director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, has been named by President Reagan as his new liaison with the Jewish community. He replaces Marshall Breger, who was recently appointed by Reagan as chairman of the Administrative Conference of the United States.
Green, 41, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he expects to take up his new post early next month after Succoth. Since the office of Public Liaison is being reorganized by the White House on an issues-oriented basis, he said he will also deal with defense and foreign policy issues.
Green, with the Civil Rights Commission for two years, replaced the Commission’s staff director, Linda Chavez, after she was named earlier this year as Reagan’s deputy assistant for public liaison. He will thus be working with Chavez again in his new job.
Born in Dayton, Ohio, Green grew up in Dallas, Texas. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin and received a Masters Degree from the New School for Social Research in New York City and a Law Degree from Brooklyn College. Before coming to Washington he worked for 10 years with the United Federation of Teachers in New York City.
