THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
U.S. Hurting British Efforts to Enact Anti-Boycott Laws
LONDON (JTA) — The
chances of Britain adopting
anti-boycott legislation
have weakened considera-
bly following the United
States government's failure
to provide important evi-
dence about the impact of
recent American legisla-
tion.
Anti-boycott circles sus-
pect this may have been
caused by U.S. reluctance to
irritate the British govern-
ment, which is hostile to
legislation. But the Ameri-
can Embassy says the only
reason is the lack of conclu-
sive evidence about Ameri-
can legislation which is still
new. It also denied that the
British government has in-
volved itself in the matter.
As a result, however, the
House of Lords Select
Committee is preparing its
report on the foreign

boycotts bill, sponsored by
the Liberal peer Lord Byers,
without an authoritative
American statement on the
impact of the U.S. legisla-
tion on which the bill is
modeled.
Supporters of the legis-
lation have argued that,
contrary to dire predic-
tions, the legislation has
not damaged American
business with Arab coun-
tries and that, indeed, the
latter are flexibly ac-
commodating themselves
to it. Opponents of the bill
have maintained that
such conclusions are
either wrong or prema-
ture.
Meanwhile, Arab efforts
to affect the policies of
American corporations,
banks, colleges and univer-
sities are continuing at a re-
cord rate, according to Petro
Impact, a newsletter pub-
lished by the American
Jewish Committee.
In its second issue, the
publication describes a
series of five meetings held
between April 17 and May 3
in five U.S. cities in which
leaders of Arab and U.S.
chambers of commerce,
OPEC officials, and Arab
and American businessmen
discussed the problems of
doing business with each
other.
Although the announced
purpose of the sessions was
to "stimulate Arab-U.S.
trade by bringing buyers
and sellers together," Petro
Impact stated, "there was a
distinct political undertone
to the meetings and also a
rumble of secret deals. The
conferences also served as
forums for intense Arab
lobbying efforts against
U.S. anti-boycott regula-
tions and for the proposed
sale of fighter planes to
Saudi Arabia."
A significant result of
increased commercial re-
lations between the Arab
nations and U.S. com-
panies, the publication
states, is the emergence
of pro-Arab spokesmen
among U.S. suppliers of
goods or technical ser-
vices to the Arabs.
"These companies, in
their zeal to cooperate with
oil-rich countries, are in ef-
fect a hidden lobby, helping
to shape American percep-
tions and attitudes," it de-
clares.
Another article in Petro
Impact discusses the way
three Quaker-founded col-
leges — Swarthmore, Bryn
Mawr and Haverford —
have responded to student
and faculty objections to
their proposed joint effort to
obtain funds for a Middle
East studies program from a
holding company founded
and chaired by Adnan
Khashoggi, "the Saudi ty-
coon who allegedly solicited
millions of dollars in bribes
from American defense con-
tractors."
Swarthmore and Haver-
ford have withdrawn from
the proposal, but Bryn
Mawr "is still considering
whether to proceed with a
grant application to support
Arab women students at the
college."
