F-15s Become Fodder
For Politicians
JAMES D. BESSER
Washington Correspondent
T
he long-anticipated
sale of F-15 fighters to
Saudi Arabia, which
some sources indicated could
be formally submitted to
Congress this week, has
become fodder for the presi-
dential campaigns.
The momentum for the
sale is being generated by
economic factors, not by the
Saudis — who aren't par-
ticularly interested in
straining their economy
with major new weapons
purchases.
But the airplane's builder,
Mcdonnell-Douglas, has
been lobbying effectively for
the sale. And supporters
have marshalled a compell-
ing election-year argument:
sale of the 72 jets would
allow the company to keep
assembly lines open, thus
preserving the jobs of
thousands of American
workers in an industry al-
ready devastated by defense
cuts.
Administration sources
have indicated for weeks
that approval of the sale was
all but inevitable; late last
week, there were indications
that the president was simp-
ly waiting for the right mo-
ment to forward the proposal
to Congress.
And the pro-Israel com-
munity, following the lead of
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin, has indicated that
there would be no major
effort mounted to thwart the
sale.
Enter Bill Clinton.
In an interview last week,
the Arkansas governor in-
dicated that he would have
no objection to the sale of the
F-15s, as long as they were
not equipped with weaponry
that would pose an offensive
threat to Israel.
Jewish Republicans saw a
golden opportunity to deflect
any political fallout from the
expected F-15 decision.
"It's outrageous for him to
say these things, and it
almost guarantees that the
president* will have to go
forward with the sale," said
one well-connected Jewish-
Republican. "What it's done
is forced the administra-
tion's hand."
Most pro-Israel activists
snort at that argument;
given the realities of the
recession and the upcoming
election —along with
Israel's relative apathy
about the sale — the decision
to peddle F-15s to the Saudis
was probably inevitable.
But Mr. Clinton's corn-
ments were seen by many as
a lame political move that
could make it harder for
Israel's friends to use the in-
evitable sale as a lever to
win some new military or
economic benefits from the
administration and Con-
gress. •
Clinton Beefs Up
Jewish Outreach
With polls showing a nar-
rowing presidential contest,
Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton's
campaign recently beefed up
its Jewish outreach team in
several states with large
Jewish populations.
Herbert Block, New York
Mayor David Dinkins' offi-
cial liaison to the Jewish
community, heads the ethnic
outreach effort in this must-
win state for the Democratic
challenger.
Suri Kasirer, former ex-
ecutive director of the
American Sephardi Federa-
tion, is doing grassroots
outreach in New York and
other states, the first time
the Sephardic community
has been specifically
targeted in a presidential
campaign.
The Clinton campaign al-
ready has officials working
full time on the Jewish
outreach effort in New
Jersey, New York, Illinois,
Michigan, Florida and
California — states in which
Jewish voters could prove
critical.
Negotiators Get
Peace Quilts
Middle East peace
negotiators last week
received "peace quilts"
made by sixth grade
students at Woodside and
Washington, two Wisconsin
Rapids, Wis., schools to ex-
press their hopes for success
in the difficult negotiations.
The students had initially
presented the quilts to Rep.
David Obey, D-Wis., asking
him to find a way to get
them to the negotiators.
