The president defended his plan to sell $8.5 billion worth of planes, missiles and other equipment to the Mideast country as vital to protecting the vast Saudi oil fields that play a major role in fueling the economies of the Western world. Without mentioning Israel by name, Reagan said: "American security in- terests must remain our internal responsibility. It is not the business of other nations to make American foreign policy." REAGAN'S remarks were at a nationally broadcast news conference, his first formal meeting with reporters in more than three months. 'The president also: " Vowed to use his veto against spen- ding bills that would "bust the budget and violate our commitment to hold down federal spending." " Defended his campaign to slash spending for social programs and said the "safety net" to protect the poor "is still in place." Later, he said everyone "totally dependent on the government" are "our obligation and nothing is going to happen to them." * Said he supports, in principle, ex- tension of the landmark Voting Rights Act. He declined to say in what form. Asked if he could assure that the AWACSwould not be taken over by an enemy if the Saudi government fell in a revolution similar to the upheavel that deposed the late shah in Iran, Reagan asserted: "I can make that guarantee that it will not compromise our security ... I have to say that Saudi Arabia, we will not permit to be an Iran." ALTHOUGH HE refused to spell out what the United States would do, Reagan said, "There is no way we could stand by" and see Saudi Arabia taken over by anyone who would shut off its oil exports. Meanwhile, in an 11th-hour bid to win congressional approval of its $8.5 billion Saudi arms sale, the administration announced a compromise yesterday giving the United States virtual joint control of the AWACS radar planes in- cluded in the deal. Secretary of State Alexander Haig announced the five-point understanding aimed at relieving congressional con- cern that the sophisticated surveillance systems not only would pose a threat to Israel but could be lost if the Saudi regime was toppled. THE SAUDI-American compromise contains five main provisions plus three points outlining stringent security measures to safeguard the Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft: eComplete data sharing with the United States on a continuous basis. * No sharing of AWACS data with other parties without U.S. consent. * "ONLY CAREFULLY screened Saudi and U.S. nationals will be permit- ted to be involved with these aircraft. Given the shortage of Saudi aircrews and technicians, this means that there will be an American presence in the aircraft and on the ground well into the 1990s." " No operation of Saudi AWACS out- side Saudi airspace. * Extensive and elaborate security measures for safeguarding equipment and technology including: * MONITORING BY U.S. inspection teams of the performance of all equip- ment associated with the AWACS sale. " Construction of special facilities to provide 24-hour protection against unauthorized entry. * "All of the agreed arrangements for protecting the security of the AWACS must be approved by the United States at least one year before any AWACS are delivered to the Saudis."

About 40 canvassers from the National Organization for Women and a University ERA support group will be looking for people who are willing to send messages in support of the ERA to political leaders across the country. THE CANVASSERS will be working on the Diag and along State, Liberty and Main Streets from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow. They will be asking people to pay $2 and have their names placed on a computer mailing list. People on the mailing list will receive a sample message which they can sign and send to a specific politically in- fluential individual. The local effort is part of a national drive called the ERA Message Brigade. Organizers hope to enlist at least one million people across the country to join the computer mailing list of ERA sup- porters. KIM BRADY, member of the newly- reorganized University Students for ERA,,said the Brigade is a push to get those few key votes still needed to ratify the amendment. Three states still need to ratify the ERA in order for the amendment to become law. Deadline for ratification is June 30, 1982. Many people "think the ERA is a lost cause," Brady said. She said she hopes the latest canvassing effort will help motivate people to push for ratification.
