The Saudis, who have admitted that they get more money from their oil revenues than they know what to do with, appear to have targeted this nation's capital as one of their favo- rite charities. First there was the an- nouncement that Sheik Mohammed S.A. al-Fassi had donated $50,000 for the city's summer job program. Mayor Marion Barry was so overwhelmed that he pro- claimed last May 6 as a day in honor of the young Saudi and praised Fassi for his "substantial contributions toward increasing under- standing and goodwill among all nations." This led Washington Post writer Walter Shapiro, in a satirical article, to complain about' "unctious festivities down at the district build- ing," Washington's city hall. Shapiro noted that "30 cents means as much to me as $50,000 does to the sheik," whom reportedly is worth some $6 billion. Fassi was previously known to the American public for some of his outrageous behavior at his home in Beverly Hills and for the $3 billion di- vorce suit his wife has filed against him. Then there is Wolf Trap. The Washington area was shocked earlier this year when the park in Vienna, Va. where summer concerts are held burned down just as the summer season was being planned.

The Wolf Trap Founda- tion did obtain a modular structure composed of fabric panels stretched between aluminum arches which was being used as a storage facility in Dubai and will be used temporarily until a permanent building is con- structed. It was the Saudis who brought the structure to the attention of Wolf Trap, according to Robert Keith Gray, chairman of the foundation's board of direc- tors. Saudi Arabian Airlines has promised to pay the freight charge of $100,000. The. structure was shipped on an Air France 747 cargo jet. Dr. Michael Berenbaum, executive director of the Jewish Community Council of Greater Washington, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, that these gifts were "an example of the vast economic power Saudi Arabia enjoys. Lest we be overly moved by this largesse we should be re- minded that over the past nine years the Saudis in- creased the price of oil. What they are giVing us is petty change on the billions of dollars the American people have paid to Saudi Arabia for their oil." There is no doubt that the Saudis have gotten good public relations values for their donations. It is easier for them to donate $150,000 than to really prove friend- ship for the United States by providing the moderate acts for which the U.S. gov- ernment likes to credit them. These donations are "petty change" when one considers the billions given to the Palestine Liberation Organization for their ter- rorist acts, for example. What is needed is not char- ity, but proof that the Saudis want to work for peace in the Middle East, by supporting, instead of seek- ing to wreck, the Camp David peace process, for starters..
