The articles are criticized for what is generally observed as selec tive detail and often concomitant absence of facts that would offset anti-Israel assertions.

The series includes language di rectly from what it described as a U.S. “secret” military memoran dum—the Middle East Arms Trans fer Study (MEAT). Army Major Larry Icenogle, a spokesman on Israeli affairs at the Pentagon, said (to this reporter), “The MEAT study is classified. Secret sounds right. I’m informed that the distribution of that publication was handled by the National Security Council. Dis tribution of it is an NSC initiative.” Charles Babcock, author of the series, was said to have gathered information at the Pentagon over a period of four months. The series has been distributed worldwide. “Every word of the articles is being translated into Arabic,” said the Washington rep resentative of a major Arabic pub lication who is not identified for safety reasons. The representative was especially awed by the fact that the third article led with an extract from “Page 23” of MEAT. “It’s fantastic,” he said. The four articles deal with U.S. financial aid supplied to Israel, which is at the level of $3 billion annually in military and economic assistance; funding for the Israel- built Lavi fighter plane and allega tions on how it was accomplished; the role of the “Jewish lobby,” primarily the American-lsrael Pub lic Affairs Committee (AIPAC); the “emotional” ties of the U.S. and Israel and divisions within these two communties. AIPAC, whose executive direc tor, Tom Dine, is extensively quoted in the initial article, said it has “no immediate comment” on the series. Referring to the articles, the State Department was asked whether Secretary of State George Shultz, who is credited as strongly suppor tive of Israel, “would like to institu tionalize relations between the U.S. and Israel on strategic coopera tion.” A spokesman, Charles Redman, anticipating such a question after the first article appeared, replied: “Yes, the U.S.-Israel relationship is strong and flourishing. Support for Israel has, of course, always been a cornerstone of our Middle East policy. For example, we now have agreements with Israel on trade and strategic cooperation and during the vice president's visit we initialed an agreement for the estab lishment for a VOA relay facility in Continued next page.
