6 Friday, May 12, 1918 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Kissinger, Administration Officials Back Jet Sale -11 WASHINGTON (JTA) — Former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, ap- pearing before the House International Relations Committee Wednesday morning, affirmed that he favored each part of the Administration's proposed sale of advanced jet aircraft to Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia on its merits and re- peated his recommendation that the F-15 fighters ear- marked for Israel be in- creased by 20. Kissinger presented basi- cally the same views to the House panel as he did Mon- day in his testimony before the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee. a i Buy For Ma At SPITZER'S of Harvard Row Meanwhile, the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee was reported to be closely divided on the is- sue, and was expected to vote on the issue yester- day.

Kissinger expressed hope that the Administration will work out a solution so that the matter does not become the subject of a divisive debate in Congress. HsbP.W Book & GM Cantor WM Lahsom Southtleld s 11 J Kissinger told the House body that in its military planning, Israel must be prepared for the "worst con- tingency" and that "Israel can be assured by the addi- tion of 20 F-15s" to its part of the package. He said that from Saudi Arabia "we can get assurances as to the de- ployment of the planes so that they are merely used I Don't Want to Sell You A Car. I Want To Help You Buy One.

I believe people want to buy their car from a dealership they can put their trust in. A dealership that'll work as hard for their money as they did. Making sure things are right — before, during and after the sale. When you visit Glassman Olds, we'll help you pick out a car that's right for the kind of driving you do. Then we'll quote you a fair price. A price as low as any in town. Maybe lower. And, after the sale, you'll find our smiles are just as wide, our handshakes just as friendly when you come in for a free warranty check. That's the way I run things at Jerry Glassman Oldsmobile.

Questioned about com- mitments made to Israel during his term as secretary of state, Kissinger said that at the time of the Sinai II interim agreements in Sep- tember, 1975 "there had been a memorandum" on the sale of planes. "There was no specific reference as to the numbers or timing," he said, "but the Israeli re- quest then was for 150 F-16s. The biggest hang-up at the time was the request (by Israel) for co- production" rights, he said. Vance appeared before the House committee Tues- day along with Defense Sec- retary Harold Brown and Paul C. Warnke, director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, the same group of Administra- tion officials who testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week. Their testimony was basically the same. Vance reiterated his belief that the sales would maintain the bal- ance of power in the Mideast and "will sup- port the Middle East peace process. At this de- licate moment, we need the maximum coopera- tion, confidence and trust of Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The pre- requisites for addressing the hard choices for peace is a feeling of * * * JWV Enlists Vets' Support The Department of Michigan of the Jewish War Veterans met with 35 representatives of U.S. vet- erans groups on Wednesday "to stimulate action" against the proposed sale of U.S. warplanes to Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The meeting was called by Leonard Green, JWV state commander, and Jack Kraizman, JWV judge ad- vocate. Last week, the JWV sent copies of its resolution op- posing the sale of F-15 jets to Saudi Arabia to the entire Michigan Congres- sional delegation and to the chairman of the Congres- sional committees consider- ing the sale. The JWV resolution opposed the sale to the Saudis because of their support "of Israel's enemies with men, arms and money and (the Saudis) still bankroll Syria, Jordan and PLO terrorism." A statement opposing the sale was also issued by Phil Power, candidate for the Michigan Democratic Party nomination for U.S. Senate. security and confidence on all sides." The secretary of state stressed that he felt the sales will "maintain essen- tial links that permit us to play the fundamental role of a mediator between the par- ties. On the other hand, failure to proceed with the sale will seriously undercut the American role in the peace process and raise grave dtubts about U.S. readiness to work with moderate governments in the region." Warnke said the plane sales was needed to maintain the "confi- dence" of the Mideast coun- tries in the U.S. Brown said, "In my judg- ment there is no significant military risk to Israel from the sale to Saudi Arabia." He noted that the Saudis know they have "military limitations" in relation to Israel which would not be overcome by the sale. "For example, Israel is already receiving F-15s," while the Saudis won't get their planes until 1981-84, Brown said. "Second, an attack on Is- rael by Saudi Arabia would lead to almost certain de- struction of the Saudi F-15 force," Brown said. "This would open the country to attack by any of its neighbors." Brown also maintained that "Saudi Arabia has save 60% never been a confronta- tion state in the Arab- Israeli conflict. Saudi aircraft has never flown in combat against Israel. While the presence of military aircraft in Saudi Arabia can complicate the life of an Israeli Wan- ner, I believe it is fair to say that Saudi Arabia can be expected to use its aircraft only in defense of its territory." •• • • • • • • • • • • • GRAEME • • •FLOWERS • • • BILL CAPLAN • • ▪ • • • 12711 W. 7 MILE RD. • FREE ESTIMATES AT YOUR HOME FOR ALL PARTIES • • 341-3366 • • • •• • • • • • • • • ( MANNY CHUONOW'S BETTER BUSINESS EQUIPMENT CO.
