At the luncheon were Con- gressmen John Conyers, Jr., Mark Siljander, James Dunn, Donald Albosta, Bob Traxler, Dennis Hertel, William Brodhead and James Blanchard. Many of the clergy stressed to the congressmen their interest in having the legislators sign the Lent- Long petition which opposes the AWACS sale to Saudi Arabia. There are now 187 congressmen who have signed this petition. Following lunch, the group went to the White House Executive Office Building to meet Jacob Stein, special adviser to the White House. He in- troduced a Dr. Shoemacher of the Na- tional Security Council who attempted to justify the Saudi Arabian sales and also to explain the Administration's con- cern with Israel's role in Iraq. The clergy were not re- ceptive and were harsh in their responses to the pre- sentation. - Friday, June 19, 1981 17 FINE ARTS AND ANTIQUES Featuring: Fine Paintings by or attributed to Charles Barque, Guiseppe Bortignoni, William M.
