The two Congressmen were "not confrontational" in their lengthy meeting with Gor- bachev, Broomfield said. "But we had a frank discussion on the issues that divide us," in- cluding regional conflicts,• trade, nuclear arms proliferation and testing. "We focussed new attention on the human rights issue, and it was important to show the Soviet leadership that human rights is not just an issue being raised by the Reagan Adminis- tration." Broomfield and Fascell, the ranking Republican and Demo- crat on the House Foreign Af- fairs Committee, were assured by Gorbachev that each of the families on either list would be investigated on a case-by-case basis. "It was sad talking to those families and understand the hardships they are going through," Broomfield said. "They represent all kinds of tragic situationsxjobs lost after applying to emigrate and family separations. But I think we sent Rep. William Broomfield a message to the Russian lead- ership, and I think they were receptive." The last time Broomfield vis- ited the Soviet Union was 25 years ago during the Cuban missile crisis. "Not much has changed since then," he said. "It's still dreary, and the people are still waiting to get into stores to buy a limited amount of consumer goods. It makes you glad to be an American." A Saudi Petro-Party Creates Negative Image BY MORRIS J. AMITAY Special to The Jewish News Washington — In 1977, when Georgetown University accepted a $750,000 donation from Libya for endowment of a chair in Arab culture, Art Buchwald, the humorist, was prompted to ask in his column whether the univer- sity might also set up a "Brezhnev Studies Program in Human Rights" or an "Idi Amin Chair in Genocide." Johns Hopkins Uni- versity's School for Advanced In- ternational Studies, located nearby, also accepted a grant of $1 million from the Arab world for Middle Eastern studies. Last October, the Saudis graciously offered the Smithso- nian Institute a $5 million grant, but with stipulations. The Saudis wanted an entire wing devoted to Islamic culture. Considering the size of the gift, the size of the re- quest and the relatively small size of the museum, the gift caused some controversy. Frederick Dutton, Washington counsel to the Saudi government, clarified the Saudi perspective: "What annoys me is they've got this Holocaust thing (museum) here, and fine, they should have it, but they don't want a quality Islamic thing that would be under the Smithsonian's control." But academia and the arts are not the only areas in which Saudi Arabia throws money around in Washington, Besides generous re- tainers to lobbyists like Dutton to represent their interests, the Saudis entertain-in grand style. In early March, the Saudi Em- bassy threw a spectacular recep- tion which even impressed the jaded social writers of the Wash- .

The Post story re- ported that, "Money was spread like the sands of Arabia and glit- ter gushed like an oil well when His Royal Highness Prince Ban- dar Bin Sultan, the Saudi Ara- bian ambassador, entertained last night." The Post speculated that this was probably the city's "most ex- pensive single event ever" to dis- play a nation's "culture." In this case this included cast and crew of 200 with no less than 70 models. Just how long the Saudis will be able to continue to display their opulence is a matter of conjecture with crude oil prices on the spot market dipping below $12 a barrel. Already huge develop- ment projects in the desert king- dom are being cancelled or mod- ified and foreign contractors com- plain of late payments. But this apparently has not dampened the Saudi appetite for the latest in U.S., British and French arms. Under consideration now is a Saudi request for some $350 mil- lion in additional missiles. One of these is the latest air-to-air Side- winder missile. While the U.S. Air Force makes do with about a dozen reloads' per aircraft in its fighter inventory, the Saudis would have three times as many. But winning friends and in- fluencing people in the United States is not always a matter of money. A Saudi Embassy official at the March bash is quoted as saying, "We hope to have many more parties. like this one. We want the American people to know what Saudi Arabia is really like."
