GEO, 'U' resume talks

of about equal size.
The U. S. government will
provide the military hardware
under a $335 million contract
signed with Saudi Arabia in
1974 that includes Vinnell's fee.
Saudi Arabia will pay the U.S.
government, whichpwilltin turn
pay Vinnell.
Vinnell Corporation execu-
tives and the American military
men so far recruited for the
job are sensitive about sugges-
tions that they are organizing
what some might consider a
mercenary expedition.
"MAYBE this contract has
come about because the politi-
cal climate of the day might be
against the U. S. military send-
ing such a big team," said
Vinnell's general manager for
special projects, Bob Montgom-
ery, who returned to Los An-
geles on Thursday from a visit
to Saudi Arabia. "But we are
not creating a mercenary force.
This is a one-time thing to do
a specific job."
A former U. S. army officerI
said: "We are not mercenaries:
because we are not pulling the
triggers, we train people to pull
triggers." Another officer,
laughed and said: "Maybe that
makes us executive mercenar-
ies."
The Vinnell contract is part
of a vast program under way inJ
Saudi Arabia to spend billions
of dollars of oil profits to
strengthen the armed forces.
Partly because the Saudis are
relying on a U.S. Defense De-'
partment study of their mili-
tary requirements, they are
buying American-made North-
I rop F5E jet fighters, Bell heli-'
copters, Cadillac Gage armored
personnel carriers.
Other private American firms
already in Saudi Arabia on
military and related projects
are Lockheed Aircraft and Ray-
theon. AVCO is training and
modernizing the coast guard.
The 163 military advisers listed
at U. S. Military Advisory head-
quarters are concerned with the
regular Saudi army.

Currently the graduated em-

semester after tuition payments.
The union is seeking an overall
12 per cent pay hike and a $200
reduction in tuition for all
teaching fellows and other em-
ployes it represents.
For the past week, the Uni-
versity - both student and
faculty - have been readying
for the potential strike. Several
meetings to organize under-
graduate support for the walk-
out have been held.
In addition, tthe faculty and
administration have met to de-
velop contingency plans if the
graduate employes do throw
picket lines up. Although their
attitude seems to be one of
"wait and see," many profes-
sors have already scheduled
classes off-campus.
