Saudi Arms Sale Raises
Questions, Opposition
JAMES DAVID BESSER
Special to The Jewish News
T
he amazing saga of the
Saudi arms sale con-
tinues in Washington,
with a flurry of legislative ac-
tivity intended to thwart the
Administration's announced
plan to sell Maverick missiles
to the Riyadh government. In
the process, the issue is rais-
ing new questions about what
the White House is actually
up to.
According to State Depart-
ment spokesmen, the sale is
consistent with long-term
American policy towards the
Saudis, who continue to be
viewed as a major U.S. ally in
the region despite their failure
to cooperate in intercepting
the Iraqi jet that ultimately
destroyed the U.S.S. Stark.
Many in Congress are not
in such a generous mood.
Resolutions of disapproval
were introduced in both
houses last week, with indica-
tions that they already have
enough support to survive a
presidential veto. On the
Senate side, the bill intro-
duced by Sen. Bob Packwood
(R-Ore.) had 61 co-sponsors—
not far from the 67 votes
needed to override a Reagan
veto. The House bill offered
by Rep. Lawrence J. Smith
(D-Fla.) and Rep. Mel Levine
(D-Calif.) was being pushed
by more than 130 of their
colleagues.
In organizing the effort to
block the sale, Rep. Smith
criticized the White House
forts "piecemeal" approach to
Middle East policy, and said
that recent Administration
actions represent an approach
to foreign affairs based more
on arms sales than on U.S.
strategic needs in the region.
He also continued to insist
that the proposed sale of
Maverick missiles was a
"payback" for Saudi Arabia's
substantial contributions to
the Contras in Nicaragua.
There was continuing
speculation about the timing
of the announcement in the
wake of growing anti-Saudi
sentiment on the Hill. "This
is a real mystery to us," said
one Senate staffer who was
not opposed to the sale. "The
timing of the whole thing is
mighty peculiar. You get the
sense that the foreign policy
coming out of the administra-
tion is strictly a matter of
gestures; now they are deter-
mined to make a gesture to
the Saudis, no matter what
the political realities of the
situation suggest. They've
really set themselves up to
lose on this one."
Other sources suggest that
the proposed sale may be part
of the administration's plan
to induce the Saudis to
cooperate with any U.S.
military action in the Gulf.
Early in the week, there were
hints that the administra-
tion's next step in the con-
troversy may be determined
by meetings between Defense
Secretary Caspar Weinberger
and the Saudi defense mini-
ster in Nice, France. Accord-
ing to these sources, the ad-
ministration may choose to
defer the sale if the Saudis
cannot provide guarantees of
assistance to U.S. forces in
the Persian Gulf in any con-
frontation with Iran.
If the Saudis make signifi-
cant concessions, sources say,
it might give the administra-
tion the leverage they need to
push the missile sale through
Congress. If they don't—a far
likelier outcome—the Ad-
ministration will have a face-
saving way out of a sale that
faced tough going on the Hill.
"It's either a very soph-
isticated strategy or a very
inept one," a congressional
source said. "I can't say for
sure which it is."

Relief Greets Appointment
Israel's appointment of
Moshe Arad as new ambassa-
dor to the United States was
greeted with relief among
Jewish groups in Washing-
ton. Arad, whose appoint-
ment came after a six-month
struggle between Shimon
Peres and Yitzhak Shamir
over the vital post, will
replace Meir Rosenne. Arad
served in Washington be-
tween 1973 and 1976, and he
is currently ambassador to
Mexico.
"Mostly, you'd have to say
that we are tremendously
glad a decision has been
made," said one source in the
pro-Israel community. "The
wrangling over the appoint-
ment did not reflect well on
Israel."
This source also suggested
that Arad, a career diplomat
with more than 25 years of
service in the Foreign Mini-
stry, is not a well-known
figure in the United States
despite his service here. This
fact may be an asset to the
new ambassador, who is not
generally associated with the
divisions in Israel that have
seriously impaired diplomacy
between the two countries in
recent months.
