Carter adamant about
plane sale package
WASHINGTON, (JTA) —
President Carter said Tuesday he
would agree to a delay of two to
three days but no more in
submitting to Congress his
proposed package of jet planes for
Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
But he again stressed that if
Congress rejects the sale of planes
to any of the three countries he will
withdraw the entire package.
Carter, answering questions at a
press conference, said he had not
been asked by any Congressmen
for a delay except for one Senator,
who he did not name. He noted
that Congress would have to deal
with the proposal for each country
separately, but if they are not all
approved he will withdraw the
proposals.
The President said that all three
proposed sales are based on
commitments made by the U.S.
government to the three countries.
The commitments for the sales to
Israel and Saudi Arabia were made
by the previous Administration in
September 1975, he noted. Carter
said it was his “deep belief” that the
U.S. should plan for the long range
security of Israel and he believed
that helping moderate Aral,
governments was in the interests of
Israel.
On the question of the planes to
Saudi Arabia, which is the most
controversial aspect of the
package, Carter said “we will not
sell the planes to Saudi Arabia if
we thought they would use them
against Israel.” He said “1 am
completely convinced” that Saudi
Arabia wants the planes only for
defensive reasons. He said the
planes would not be stationed at
Tabuk, the new Saudi airfield that
is within range of Israel.
Carter also said he was still
“optimistic” about chances for an
Egyptian-Israeli agreement,
noting that “remarkable progress
has been made” in the past year.

Dr. Sabin to speak
at AJWF dinner
Dr. Albert B. Sabin will address
the Health Services Division of the
Atlanta Jewish Welfare
Federation on Thursday evening,
May 4, at the Standard Club. The
dinner meeting will get underway
with a cocktail reception at 6:30
p.m. followed by dinner at 7:30
p.m.
Dr. Sabin, who is best known
for his development of the oral,
live polio vaccine that has been
extensively used since I960, will be
honored by the Federation for his
contribution to humanity and
special contributions to Jewish
causes.
Dr. Sabin began his career in
biomedical research in 1926 while
he was still a premedical student in
New York City. He is an emeritus
distinguished research professor of
biomedicine at the Medical
University of South Carolina in
Charleston. A member of the
board of governors of the Hebrew
University of Jerusalem as well as a
member of the board of governors
of the Weizmann Institute of
Science, he was also involved in the
affairs of Tel Aviv University and
the Haifa Technion.
Sabin’s interests in Israel ranged
beyond educational and health
problems, including especially the
problem of integration of the Jews
from different cultural back
grounds and the problem of
ultimate peace between Israel and
her Arab neighbors. In 1970, Sabin
became president of the Weizmann
Institute of Science.
The event is being sponsored by
