French Believe
U.S. Will Sell
Arms to Egypt
PARIS (JTA) —French
industrial circles are repor-
tedly "highly worried" that
America will soon replace
them as Egypt's main arms
supplier. The French, ac-
cording to reliable reports,
believe President Anwar
Sadat has shelved for the
time being the project of an
autonomous Arab arms in-
dustry and counts on U.S.
material to equip his army
and air force.
The French industrialists
ieve that Sadat had ob-
ed before or during the
Camp David summit con-
ference a firm American
promise to supply Egypt
with modern aircraft and
other sophisticated equip-
ment. These sources say the
American pledge was that
this equipment will be deli-
vered simultaneously with
the implementation of the
Camp David agreement.
French industries have
played a major role in the
creation of the "Arab In-
dustrial Organization"
(AI0), the umbrella com-
pany entrusted with the
implementation of the pro-
ject, and a French industrial
delegation is due to fly to
Cairo to find out Egypt's in-
tentions.
According to French
sources, the president of
the AIO, Ashraf Mara-
wan, has been fired by
Sadat under American
pressure.
Marawan last month con-
ferred with Saudi Arabia's
King Khaled in Cleveland,
Ohio, where the King was
recuperating from open
heart surgery and the
French hope that Saudi
Arabia, which is funding
the entire project might
keep some of it alive on its
own territory. Originally,
the actual factories were to
have been built in Egypt
and would have used Egyp-
tian labor.
