WASHINGTON ECHOES: A pro-Arab atmosphere apparently aimed
at influencing the Nixon administration is being stimulated in Washing-
tion by "scientific evaluations" of American interests in the Middle East.
The first such study, to be followed by others, is now being distributed
among influential people by a group known as the American Enter-
: prise Institute for Public Policy Research.
Although this Washington group advertises itself as a "non-partisan
Organization," its analysis creates quite a different impression. It be-
gins by asserting that there is "growing disquiet" in this country over
the "failure of the United States to find a way to maintain its "tradi-
= tional friendship with the peoples and governments of the Middle East."
It refers to -"experts" on the Middle East—but does not name any of
these experts—who allegedly "expressed their concern" even prior to
,tjie Arab-Israeli Six-Day War. And it claims that "many" scholars-
, again unnamed—consider the United States now to be at its "all-time
low" in prestige and influence in the Arab countries.
American oil interests loom high in the study as an argument why
the United States must become more friendly with the Arabs. The
study goes out of its way to stress that the United States has now
"uncommonly difficult balance-of-payment" problems which threaten
its domestic economy as well as its world trade position. It then claims
that America has a net dollar inflow from trade and investments in
the Arab states running at a rate of $1,700,000,000 per year, even after
deducting the economic aid which the American government gives to
Arab countries. The implication is clear.

ton.research group asserts that nearly half of all 1966' United States
income from direct investments in foreign petroleum came from the
Middle East. It claims that this amounted to $850,000,000 and represents
21•per cent of U.S. income received from all direct foreign investments
in that year. .
The group's report paints a picture aimed to show that reserves of
oil in the United States are declining at a time.wben. the Arab countries

• world oil reserves. Oil-produced by American companies in these Arab
countries is sold principally to Japan and West Europe; half of the oil
Moving in world trade is foreign oil produced and sold by American
firms.
In addition to trying to impress Americans with the role which
Arab oil plays in the American economy, the report seeks to stimulate
pro-Arab sentiments also by asserting that "thousands of Americans"
work for the oil companies, shipping firms and airlines doing business
with the Arab countries in the Middle East. It speaks of "millions of
stockholders" who help provide the capital for the American companies
to invest in the oil industry in Arab lands. "They all have a direct eco-
nomic interest in preserving a relationship between the United States
and the Middle East that has proved beneficial to all concerned," the
report asserts.
The report deals also with the strategic importance of the Middle
East to the United States. It quotes a former charge d' affaires of the
U.S. Embassy in Cairo, David Nes, as declaring last August that even
in this nuclear age, the strategic significance of the Middle East is
"far more important in defense of Western interests than the area to
which the United States has presently committed more than a half a
million fighting men." In other words, it is strategically more impor-
tant than Vietnam.
Determined to stimulate Americans to think in more pro-Arab
terms, the report says in a tone that sounds like open propaganda: "if
one accepts the proposition that the United States has important inter-
the Middle East whose loss could have significantly painful
ests in
effects on all the American people, the uneasiness among those who
most closely follow the deterioration of the American positiOn may
deserve more attention."
