Envoy Young resigns after reprimand by Carter
The United States ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young, resigned after a reprimand for an unauthorized meeting with a PLO representative. He told Carter he could not muzzle himself, and Carter reluctantly accepted the resignation, which Young offered to stay on through September. The episode drew sharp reactions from Jewish groups, Republicans, and Black leaders including Jesse Jackson, who warned of potential strains between blacks and Jews.

Simon, invited to meet with the anti-Carter group, chairs the Inflation Task Force and would be a backup candidate if Kennedy stays out.
