Arlyne Cherrin's
U.S. undaunted
by Soviet arms
sale to Jordan
Washington (JTA) — The Rea-
gan Administration appeared to
shrug off the announcement by
Jordan that it had purchased
arms from the Soviet Union, re-
portedly shoulder-held ground-
• to-air missiles.
"This would not be the first time
/
\_ Jordan has purchased Soviet
• equipment," State Department
deputy spokesman Alan Romberg
said. "Such a sale would be consis-
1 tent with Jordan's long-standing
policy of purchasing military
hardware from a variety of
sources."
While Jordan has not disclosed
details of what it has bought from
_ the Soviet Union, Romberg said,
"The reported sale appears to be
consistent with previous pur-
chases and does not appear to re-
present any fundamental change
in Jordan's traditional defense
procurement practices."
King Hussein has made no
secret that he was seeking mis-
siles from the USSR after the
Reagan Administration, last
March, withdrew a proposal to
sell 1,600 Stinger shoulder-held
\ ground-to-air missiles to Jordan
/ and 1,200 to Saudi Arabia, be-
cause of strong opposition to the
sale in Congress.
A similar move occurred in
1981 when Congress demanded
that a proposed sale of Hawk mis-
) Kies
.
to Jordan be required to be
fixed in place against Jordan's
claimed fear of attack from Syria,
so that they could not be used
against Israel. Jordan then
bought from the Soviet Union 20
mobile batteries of ground-to-air
SA-8 missiles and 60 batteries of
rapid-fire anti-aircraft cannon.
Romberg would not say
whether any arms requests from
Jordan were now being consid-
ered by the United States.

Italy seeking
Mideast role
Tel Aviv (JTA) — Italy's De-
fense Minister, Giovanni
Spadolini, visited Israel last week
with an offer from his country to
mediate negotiations between Is-
rael and Jordan.
Spadolini told a press confer-
ence, after a meeting with his
host, Defense Minister Yitzhak
Rabin, that there has been a dis-
cernable change in Jordan's atti-
tude and that Italy, along with
other European countries and the
United States, were working to
bring about talks between Jordan
and Israel.
The Italian defense chief ob-
served, however, that Israel must
recognize the rights of the Pales-
tinians as outlined in the Camp
David agreements.
Spadolini, who was greeted
with full military honors at Ben-
Gurion Airport, brought with him
a letter from Premier Bettino
Craxi to Premier Shimon Peres
affirming that Italy's tradi-
tionally friendly attitude toward
Israel has not changed. There had
been some consternation in Israel
over Craxi's meeting with Pales-
tine Liberation Organization
chief Yassir Arafat in Tunis last
month.
