d 7essing some 75 prominent
members of this community

home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Zuckerman. expressed the
hope that the assassination
of Anwar Sadat will not
have an adverse effect on
the serious effort to reject
the proposal to sell AWACS
planes to Saudi Arabia.
Expressing grief over the
death of the great Egyptian
personality. Sen. Metzen-

Young had 41 percent of

percent
viewed as a menace to the
U.S., to the entire Middle
East and that the campaign
to prevent the AWACS
threats is not a Jewish issue
but one to be pursued in the
interest of peace for the en-
tire area. He also em-
phasized the danger of
AWACS falling into the
hands of the USSR.
The battle to reject the
Reagan Administration's
proposal must be pur-
sued, he said, and he
commended the protest-
ing efforts, urging their
continuation to avert a
tragedy in the Middle
East.
Zuckerman commended
Metzenbaum's leadership
in both the anti-AWACS ef-
forts as well as in mobilizing
support for liberal and so-
cial causes in the Senate.
Metzenbaum ridiculed
ex-President 'Richard Ni-
xon's attack on Jews and his
opposition to the AWACS
sale, but considered the pos-
ition taken by former Sec-
retary of State Henry Kis-
singer as serious.
The announcement Tues-
day that former President
Jimmy Carter was to be in-
vited to the White House to
join two other ex-
Presidents, Gerald Ford and
Nixon, to assist President
Ronald Reagan in his pres-
sures for the adoption of the
AWACS sales proposal,
added shock to the ranks of
the opposition.
