State Department spokesman Ber nard Kalb said “all assurances” in the president’s letter of Oct. 28, 1981, to then-Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker (R.-Ienn.) “have been met. “These assurances involve the security of AWACs technology and the contribution of the sale to regional peace and stability,” Kalb said. The presidential certification, he added, “is a final step required prior to delivery of the AWACs.” Specialists at both the Capitol and the State Department said to The Southern Israelite that no route exists by which Congress can block the transfer. “Once the White House makes the certification to Congress, it’s all done,” a State Department official said. “Essentially it would take a law to stop it.” No opposition to delivery ot the spy plane has been noted at the Capitol. An aide to Sen. Alan Cranston (D.-Calif.) noted that no time period is involved tor C on- gress to consider the certification or delay delivery. “Anytime” alter Congress had received the presi dent’s letter, he said, delivery can be made. Cranston led the recent battle in the Senate against the sale of missiles to Saudi Arabia. At the office of Rep. Mel Levine (D.-Calif.), who led the overwhelm ing opposition in the House to the missiles deal, an aide said “nothing has crystallized” about the delivery of the AWACs. Assurances from the Saudis that the president said he would obtain when the sale was being debated in the Senate in 1981 include Saudi cooperation that equipment and intelligence information obtained by the spy plane will not pass to elements hostile to the United States or be used against Israel. The recent opposition in Con gress against delivery ot the mis siles was based on the contention that Saudi Arabia had not taken action to support the U.S. effort to support Arab-lsraeli talks but had in fact opposed those efforts and also that the Saudis have been financing the Palestine Liberation Organization, Syria and others involved in terrorism. The battle lines thus were drawn essentially on U.S.-Saudi relations and not on Saudi-lsraeli issues. Both Israel and the American- Israel Public Affairs Committee had stayed away from a confronta tion with the administration over the missile sale. However, the Zionist Organization of America, Americans for a Sale Israel and Hadassah had spoken out against it. Israeli Embassy spokesman Yossi Gal said Israel has not changed its longstanding position against de livery of weapons to a country in a state of war with Israel, but it has made “no specific statement” about the AWACs. AlPAC’s executive committee, headed by the organization’s pres ident, Robert Asher, is to evaluate the current circumstances about the spy planes delivery. Adminis tration sources indicated, on back ground, that apart from whether Congress could raise legal muscle against the delivery, the fact that the AWACs transfer was part of a five-year-old $8.5 billion sale mil itates against serious congressional oppostion. The Saudis have paid $3.2 billion toward building the aircraft. If delivery were blocked, that money would have to be repaid by congressional appropriation. In addition, the U.S. Air Force claims it can’t use the AWACs because they are being produced to Saudi specifications. 22,500 estimated in ranks of W.

But while emphasizing that as pect, the ministry made no men tion of recent anti-Semitic mani festations involving members of the mainstream political parties that were serious enough to prompt a full-scale debate in the Bundes tag. These included a remark by the mayor of one town, affiliated with the ruling Christian Demo cratic Union (CDU) that “killing a few rich Jews” would balance the municipal budget. An official of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the CDU’s Bavarian sister-party, created a scandal when he said, with reference to repara tions claims by Jews used as slave labor during World War II, that “Jews always show up when money jingles in German cash boxes." The Interior Ministry’s report noted that there were 78 neo-Na/i groups in I985, the largest being the German Peoples Union with a membership of 1 2,000. The second largest, with a membership of 6,100 was led by the National Demo cratic Party (NPD). The N PD has made repeated but unsuccessful attempts in recent years to get its candidates elected to the Bundes tag and to state parliaments. Its one success, the report said, was in the state elections of dele gates to the Strasbourg-based Par liament of Europe where the NPD group won nearly five percent ot the popular vote. Both right-wing and left-wing extremistsdenounce American “im perialism” and spread hostility against Americans stationed in W est Germany, the report said. They depict Americans here as represen tatives of a foreign power trying to impose its will on the German peo ple against their own interests. The report said that 3,550 of West Germany’s Arab residents are affiliated with such groups as the Palestine Liberation Organi/a- Have i got n girl m noun i ► c °6/ f 0 No. but I’ve got the next best thing— a delicious pizza from ROADRUNNER PIZZA.
