A Jackson aide said the
senator is confident that the
Soviet-U.S. trade pact will be
completed to the senator's
satisfaction. The aide said
several meetings with the
Ford Administration have
been scheduled, and "several
matters remain to be worked
out, but we are nearing a
conclusion."
The aide would not predict
when the trade pact would be
adopted, or the number of
Jews and other minorities
who would be allowed to leave
Russia under the Jackson-,
Mills-Vanik Amendment to
the trade legislation, but
Jackson said "We are prac-
tically there."
During the press confer-
ence Jackson admonished
President Ford to use "quiet
diplomacy" on bath the Rus-
sians and the Arabs. "We
have been able to turn the
Russians around 180 degrees
in just two years by using
our economic power."
"Gunboat diplomacy doesn't
work anymore," he said. "I
would rather withdraw our
gunboats, and watch the

Arabs run to us." In spite of
Russia's aid, he said, "The
Arabs are afraid of the Rus-
sians."
Sen. Jackson outlined his
own energy policy, which he
said would make the U.S.
self-sufficient and independ-
ent of the Arab bloc. He also
said he was alarmed by the,
growing Arab wealth.
He called for the U.S. to
begin a $20 billion develop-
ment of its oil reserves, ex-
ploitation of the Alaska con-
tinental shelf and off-shore
oil deposits, and use of U.S.
naval oil reserves in Cali-
fornia and Alaska to offset
Arab prices and the U.S. de-
mand for Arab oil.
He also chastised PreSident
Ford for not committing U.S.
resources to domestic oil de-
velopment.
Jackson, who is seeking
the Democratic nomination
for President in 1976, said
"The overriding issue facing
the American people is the.
price of petroleum.
"Those cartel oil prices
have quadrupled over the
past year. That's why prices
are going up and our pay-
checks are getting smaller."
