New York (JTA) — American
Jewish leaders have interpreted
President Reagan's narrow vic-
tory on the arms sale to Saudi
Arabia as a demonstration of
Congressional skepticism of
Saudi Arabia's reliability as an
ally of the United States and as
disapproval of the Saudis failure
to combat terrorism. In a state-
ment issued last week, Kenneth
Bialkin, chairman of the Con-
ference of President° of Major
American Jewish Organiza-
tions, said that by sustaining
Reagan's veto of the saudi arms
package by one vety the Senate
is sending a double message.
"To the rulers of Saudi
Arabia, it says, stop funding
Palestinian terrorism and start
supporting our country's in-
terests in the Middle East,"
Bialkin said. "To the Presi-
dent,it said, the time has come
to demand that the Saudis play
their long-promised role as a
`positive force' in promoting
Arab-Israel peace and thus
demonstrate that they are — as
the Administration claims —
Arab `moderates'." -\
The American Jewish Con-
gress was also encouraged by
the significance of Reagan's
hairline victory. In a statement,
AJC president Theodore Mann
declaitd, "When the Senate,
without benefit of a major loby-
ing effort, misses an historic
override of a Presidential veto
on an arms matter by a single
vote, it tells us a great deal
about Saudi Arabia's weak
reputation in Congress because
of its activity in finance PLO
terrorism and its consistently
unconstructive role in the Mid-
dle East peace process."
Reagan got the exact number
of votes he needed in the Senate
to go ahead with his proposed
sale of sophisticated missiles to
Saudi Arabia. The Senate voted
66 to 34 to sustain Reagan's
veto of the Congressional resolu-
tion rejecting the sale, one vote
short of the two-thirds needed to
override the veto.
Reagan worked to the last
minute to convince Senators to
support him, even at a breakfast
meeting at the White House at-
tended by most the Senate to
discuss tax reform.
Sen. Richard Lugar (R. Ind.),
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, who led
the fight to sustain the veto,
stressed that "the authority of
the Presidency is at stake" in
the vote. That was the position
taken by a number of Senators
who voted last month to oppose
the sale, but switched sides on
this vote. The Senate vote last
month was 73 to 26 against the
Saudi missile deal.
Sen. Alan Cranston (D. Calif.),
who led the fight against the
sale, said that despite the vote
sustaining the veto, it was still
a victory. He noted that two-
thirds of the Senate and an over-
whelming majority in the House
which voted 356 to 62 against
