AWACS Promise A - Sticky Situation
The following editorial
appeared in the Sept. 18 edi-
tion of the New York Times,
under the headline, "The
Promise of AWACS":
"There is understandable
alarm in the Reagan Ad-
ministration as it bids for
time to justify supplying
Saudi Arabia with $8.5 bil-
lion worth of top-of-the-line
weapons.
"A building majority of
Congress now recognizes
that the sale of five
AWACS, plus fuel tanks
and potent missiles for
F-I5s, risks a further arms
race in the Middle East, re-
duces Israel's military
superiority and only
weakens American bar-
gaining power in the region.
"The deal is not im-
proved by letting Israel
call itself an 'ally' and
promising it joint naval
maneuvers. The sale
should never have been
proposed, no less prom-
ised. President Reagan
would be wise to retreat
before he is frontally de-
feated.
"Either defeat or retreat
would require him to do a lot
of explaining about Ameri-
can democracy to an indig-
nant House of Saud. But the
President might salvage
more in Riyadh by confes-
sing weakness in Congress
than by taking a formal re-
buff.
"He might even avert de-
feat if he reduces the scope

of the deal and vaguely
promises more weapons la- •
ter, as Middle East condi-
tions permit.
"In truth, the struggle in
Washington no longer
turns on any American
military benefits. It has be-
come a matter of sustaining
Mr. Reagan's stature and
credibility. By allowing this
deal to become a test of the
American link with Saudi
Arabia, the Administration
is trapped into arguing that
the link itself is at stake.
"But the credibility
argument really cuts the
other way. Congress too was
given a Presidential pledge
when, less than two years
ago, it reluctantly approved
selling the Saudis the F-15s.
President Carter was made
to promise that the range
and firepower of these
fighters would not be
enhanced.
He is now gone but the
Pentagon architects of these
sales are not; it was they
who misled Mr. Reagan by
pushing the next install-
ment upon Saudi Arabia.
"Yes, the Saudis have
been helpful to some
American objectives in
the Middle East. And
their oil policy has rec-
ognized overlapping
Saudi and American
economic interests.
"But the Saudi rulers still
feel they cannot safely
speak of Israel as a nation.
Contrary to. Mr. Reagan's
appeals, they still put Israel
— and not the Soviet Union
— at the top of their
enemies list. This may be
only a prudent defense
against Arab radicals by a
vunerable royal family. But
a regime so frail is hardly a
safe depository for the most
American
advanced
weapons.
