criticized as far in excess
of Saudi Arabia's defen-
sive needs by the Confer-
ence of Presidents of
Major American Jewish
Organizations in a tele-
gram to President Ford.
In the telegram, Rabbi
Alexander Schindler,
Conference chairman, in-
dicated the "collective
and profound concern" of
the Conference's 32
member organizations
over the proposed sale,
adding that "the extent
and type of weaponry"
proposed for Saudi
Arabia "threaten seri-
ously to upset the delicate
arms balance in the Mid-
dle East."
He noted that "the
huge size and nature of
the proposed arms sales
pose the gravest peril to
the security of Israel
which is linked so closely
to our country's strategic
interests." Schindler also
said the President's "re-
consideration" of the
arms sales was "urgently
requested."
The proposed sale, dis-
closed in the Administra-
tion's required letter of
notification to Congress,
calls for transfer to Saudi
Arabia of 850 Sidewinder
missiles, 600 Maverick
TV-guided air-to-ground
missiles, and 1,000 TOW
anti-tank missiles. The
cost of the 850 Sidewin-
ders was put at $75 mill-
ion.
The proposed sale to
Saudi Arabia came under
fire also from Rep. Benja-
min Rosenthal (D-NY) who
said the proposed transac-
tion "further accelerates
Saudi Arabia's emergence
as the arsenal of the Arab
world and is another step
toward making it a con-
frontation state with Is-
rael."
The Senate Foreign Re-
lations subcommittee on
foreign aid, headed by
Hubert Humphrey (D
Minn),_ and its House
counterpart, headed by
Rep. Dante Fascell (D
Fla), are to hold hearings
on the proposed arms
sales in about 10 days.
Rosenthal has the sup-
port of Fascell and other
Representatives in his
opposition to the weapons
sales to Saudi Arabia.
The Administration's
arms package for Saudi
Arabia also includes a
proposed outlay of $215
million for housing at
Tebuk, near the Saudi-
Jordanian border, for the
Saudi Arabian king's
modern national guard,
according to official U.S.
sources. Other proposed
construction funding is
for a headquarters at
Riyadh for $13 million
and for a naval training
center at Jubayl near the
Persian Gulf oil fields.

Jewish Leaders
Memorialize Sapir
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Leaders of the govern-
ment, the Knesset, the
World Zionist Organiza-
tion and Jewish Agency
attended a memorial
ceremony to mark the
first anniversary of the
death of Pinhas Sapir. He
died Aug. 12, 1975 at the
age of 67.
Both Premier Yitzhak
Rabin and Yosef Al-
mogi, who succeeded
Sapir as chairman of the
WZO and Jewish Agency
Executives, praised him
as one of Israel's out-
standing personalities
who exerted a powerful
influence in the affairs of
the nation but at the
same time was sensitive
to and saddened by the
criticism leveled against
him in certain quarters.
Sapir was also Israel's
Finance Minister.
The gathering was ad-
dressed by almost the
entire Cabinet, Knesset
members, the WZO
Executive, former Pre-
mier Golda Meir, indus-
trialists and labor lead-
ers.
