Senators Protest Copters for Iraq
©Emu nzth c@EuT
WASHINGTON (JTA) --
Four Senators have sent a
letter to President Reagan
calling for a halt in the
shipment of U.S.-made
helicopters to Iraq because
the transaction is "not in
the best interests" of the
U.S.
The letter, dated Dec. 23,
was initiated by Sen. Alan
Dixon (D-Ill.) and signed by
Sens. Charles Percy (R-Ill.),
who is chairman of the Se-
nate Foreign Relations
Committee, Rudy Bos-
chwitz (R-Minn.) and Larry
Pressler (R-S.D.).
Declaring that "our belief
is that this transaction is
not in the best interests of
the U.S.," the Senators
warned that the sale "could
well violate our policy of
neutrality in the Iraq-Iran

war . . . We strongly urge
that you halt shipments of
the helicopters that are
scheduled for delivery
within the next week or
two."
At least 12 of the
helicopters which are
manufactured by the
Hughes Helicopter Corp.
have already been deliv-
ered as part of a sale that
will include the transfer
of 60 helicopters.
According to the letter,
"It is only reasonable to as-.
sume that the Iraqi gov-
ernment will employ this
large number of helicopters
in its war with Iran whether
for artillery spotting or
otherwise."
Because the helicopters
weigh less than the 10,000
pounds each, they are
PARIS (JTA) — Israeli
Defense Minister Ariel
Sharon was expected to pay
an official visit to Zaire this
week, Kinshasa Radio an-
nounced.
According to Zaire
sources Sharon will be ac-
companied by his top mili-
tary adviser, Maj. Gen. Ab-
raham Tamir and Foreign
Ministry aides.
He will be the second Is-
raeli minister to visit Zaire
in less than a month.
Foreign Minister Yitzhak
Shamir visited Kinshasa in
November as the guest of
President Mobutu Sese
Seko.
Western sources be-
lieve Sharon's trip is
linked to negotiations on
security, defense and ag-
ricultural projects. Is-
raeli army personnel
have been training a spe-
cial Zairian crack unit,
The Presidential
Brigade, since early this
year.
After the resumption of
diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries last
May, additional Israeli
army technicians and logis-
tic experts arrived in
Kinshasa.
The Israeli press an-
nounced at the time of
Shamir's visit that Israel
had sold some $8 million
worth of military equip-
ment to Zaire and that addi-
tional sales were due.
The Israelis 'also said
Gen. Tamir had prepared a
comprehensive strategic
plan .for Zaire's defense. It is
believed this plan as well as
the supply by Israel of addi-
tional military equipment
will be discussed during
Sharon's trip.
Israeli agricultural ex-
perts have also been
stationed in Zaire for
several years. A dozen
are working in the north
of the country and about
30 are running the
presidential farm at
N'sele which supplies
most of the food used by
the capital's growing
population. •
Sharon's forthcoming trip
to Kinshasa will be his sec-
ond to that central African
country. Last November he
paid a secret visit to Zaire
during
which
the
groundwork was laid for the
resumption of diplomatic
relations with. Israel.
classified as civilian
helicopters that do not re-
quire an export license. But
the Commerce Department
did grant such a license to
Hughes, an action which
the Senators claimed in
their letter to Reagan was
"another example of the
weakness in the export con-
trol process."
They said the new 98th
Congress will "examine
methods for tightening the
control mechanism" of the
export licenses.
