A Senate-House Conference
Committee is to adjust dif-
ferences between two
amendments of the Export
Administration Act de-
signed to toughen U.S. sales
of transport planes to coun-
tries aiding terrorists.
Libya, Iraq, South Yemen
and probably Syria would
be immediately affected by
the legislation, Congres-
sional sources told the
Jewish Telegraphic
Agency. Algeria's situation
is not clear, the sources said.
The House last week
adopted an amendment of-
fered by Rep. Milicent Fen-
wick (R-N.J.), which would
require an export license for
aircraft sales exceeding $7

Arab Newsletter to Nazis
CRESSKILL, N.J. (JTA)
— A top official of the
Anti-Defamation League of
Bnai Brith charged that
"Billy Carter's friends in
the Libyan Embassy in
Washington have begun a
newsletter which is dispens-
ing raw anti-Semitism."
Addressing the annual
dinner of DAL's Bergen
County Society of Fellows,
Abraham Foxman, the ADL
associate national director,
described the first edition of
"Jamahiriya Newsletter" as
"an Arab version of the
Nazis' Der Stuermer.' "
Foxman told some 300
guests who were paying
tribute to David
Goldman, a Fort Lee
industrialist and bene-
factor to communal
causes, that the inau-
gural issue of the maga-
zine carried a cartoon of
a procession of bearded
figures wearing
skullcaps and carrying
money bags destined to
Israel from the United
States.
The cartoon has Uncle

Committee and the Se-
nate Foreign Relations
Committee of proposed

State would determine
which countries are sup-
porting terrorists and the
military potential of air-
craft proposed for sale.
There was no floor opposi-
tion to the measure.
The Senate had prev-
iously adopted a similar
statement authored by Sen.
Jacob Javits (R-N.Y.),
which would prohibit sales
of aircraft if the President

The legislation stems
from sales last year of 400
U.S.-made heavy-duty
trucks to Libya designed to
carry petroleum rigs but
which could also be used to
move heavy tanks.
The delegation, including
Chaika Grossman of
Mapam, Meir Payil of Sheli,
Shulamit Aloni of the Civil
Rights Party . and Charlie
Biton of Rakah, said that
to-level Hungarian officials
hope to re-institute the rela-
tions with Israel, noting in
the interim that Hungary
had never cast doubt on Is-
rael's right to exist.

Foxman said ADL will
register a protest with U.S.
officials.

nationwide association of

civic leaders who assist the
ADL in campaiging, re-
cruitment and planning.
Meanwhile; a news
agency report from Kuwait
quoted Billy Carter in an
interview published simul-
taneously last week in the
magazines Al Yaqza and Al
Nandha that "I am deter-
mined not to surrender to
any threats and will not
back down whatever the
cost may be, because I be-
