Defense Dept. `Unresponsiveness' on Arab Contract Clauses Lashed

WASHINGTON (JTA) —
A Defense Department
statement that it cannot
obtain guarantees from the

Saudi Arabian government
for non-discriminatory
treatment of American
companies was described by

two investigating Senators
as meaning "the Depart-

tices" in the United States.
Sens. Frank Church (D-
Id.), chairman, and Clifford
P. Case (R-NJ)-, ranking
member of the subcommit-
tee on multinational corpo-
rations, had written Secre-
tary of Defense James R.
Schlesinger that they "do
not find it acceptable that
U.S. contractors, in bidding
on projects being adminis-
tered by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers have to
accede to the Saudi Arabian
requirement of submitting a
certificate of their religious
affiliation or their commer-
cial relations with Israel can
still be excluded from
competing for Saudi pro-
jects."
Responding for Schlesin-
ger, Assistant Secretary of
Defense H. Minton Francis,
said that the Saudi Arabian
Embassy still requires such
evidence and that "ob-
taining guarantees from the
Saudi Arabian government"
for non-discriminatory

treatment "lies beyond the
authority and influence" of
the Defense Department.

Writing again to Schle-
singer in correspondence
revealed Monday, Church
and Case said that Fran-
cis' letter was "not re-
sponsive to the concerns
we raised" and that his re-
ply "conveys a disturbing
impression that the De-
partment has chosen to
sanction the discrimina-
tory practices of other.
countries even when they
directly affect U.S. citi-
zens."

Church and Case wrote
that "It is our intention to
subject future foreign mili-
tary sales contracts which
carry these discriminatory

provisions to intensive Con-
gressional consideration." A
contract for $1.5 billion re-
cently was allowed to gc
into effect when it was not
disapproved within 20 days
by Congress.
