U.S. Undersecretary of State Stuart Eizenstat was nominated Wednesday by President Clinton to be deputy treasury secretary. As the administration’s point man on Holocaust restitution issues, Eizenstat has played a key role in recent years in helping to provide a moral and financial accounting of various countries’ financial dealings with Nazi Germany. Eizenstat is expected to succeed Lawrence Summers, whom Clinton tapped to succeed outgoing Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin.
