House overwhelmingly rejects AWACS
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—The House sold down the proposed AWACS sale to Saudi Arabia, 301-111, an President Obama-backed firm that will win crucial Senate support for the sale.
In the overwhelming House rejection, 108 Republicans voted against Reagan. It was the President's first big foreign surprise, but it came as no surprise, since the vote, a White House spokesman said the defeat "was not unexpected."
Among the Republicans who rejected
Kansas's Jim Jeffries and
Pat Roberts.
Whittaker and Larry Winn, and Dan Glickman, a Democrat, voted in favor of the sale.
The fate of the $5.5-billion deal now rests with the Senate, and yesterday Reagan intensified his efforts to win the votes of many wavering senators.
A spokesman for Howard Baker, Senate majority leader, said the Senate would not vote on the AWACS deal for a least a week because Reagan would be at a summit meeting in Mexico next week.
Baker said the vote would be the week of Oct. 25. To block the sale, both houses of Congress must vote it down by Oct. 31.
Robert Michel, R-III., argued that the House should approve the deal.
"The United States is invocably tied to Saudi Arabia for the foreseeable future," he said. "like it or lump it, the Saudis need us and we need them."
But Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-InD, chairman of the House Near Eastern subcommittee, said he feared the sale of the farmhouse, the spiraling Middle East arms race."
As the House debated the disapproval resolution, leading Senate Republicans said Reagan could go ahead with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Republican Charles Percy chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said a 1980 law would empower
CAIRO, Egypt-The United States sent two AWACS surveillance aircraft to Cairo yesterday to bolster the region's defense.
U.S. bolstering Egypt's defenses against Libya
By United Press International
U. S. officials said the planes might be used in Sudan, where Egypt already had sent forces to counter threats from Libya.
The planes, like those the administration wants to sell Saudi Arabia, will be in Egypt for an indefinite time, a
Secretary of State Alexander Haig would also be used in a deal with the SEC to issue *EKORA* bonds.
Sending the AWACS for an indefinite period was a move to assist Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as he takes over the government, a Western diplomat said.
the Egyptians respond to threats that Libya had made against Egypt and Sudan.
AND A STATE DEPARTMENT spokesman said the aircraft would help
the president to authorize such a sale if he thought the move would be "in the national security interests" of the United States.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger said in Paris that the two U.S. advance warning and control system aircraft "should be helpful in conducting the defense of the whole region."
He said the planes could cruise both in Egyptian air space and in the skies above Sudan, where Libyan air attacks were reported last week.
Yesterday, while the House debated the sale of the AWACS an U.S. Air Force spokesman said the planes had yet to be manufactured.
If the Saudi ordered the AWACS
patients to receive deliveries could
not be given until 1985.
Reagan's proposed sales received a large boost when Sen. Ted Stevens, D-Alaska, announced his support for the $150 million he leaned against approving the sale.
According to United Press International's count of Senate votes, Stevens' announcement reduced the number of those opposed to the sale to 33, two more than the 51 needed to veto the sale.
Reagan's backers in the Senate have said the sale would shore up the Middle East against instability and Soviet mendition. Opponents have said the deal could jeopardize Israel and might endanger U.S. security.
To drum up support for the sale, Reagan began writing a letter of assurances to Congress. The letter will be about how much sensitive information he would share with the Saudis and how the equipment will be maintained and kept safe.
Senate Republican leaders say budget cuts won't pass
By United Press International
WASHINGTON—Senate Republican leaders yesterday asked for a meeting with White House officials to alert them that President Reagan probably will not get the extra budget cuts he asked for last month.
The leaders yesterday called James Baker, Reagan's chief of staff, to ask for the meeting and to ask for the administration's help in devising a package that would stand between the Senate and President approval.
Finance Committee Chairman, Robert Dole, R-Kan., said that the five-man group had not made decisions but that it was working to ensure that budgets budget cuts and tax-raising measures for the current fiscal year.
Dole said the Finance Committee probably would not bring to the floor a measure to raise revenue this year.
"I don't think anybody wants to pull that cat out of the bag," he said. "I think it would be good for committee could finish work on proposals that would save money by
reforming basic benefit programs this year.
The Senate Republicans also told the chief of staff that it was "time to get the ball rollling" on a strategy for the budget package to Congress.
The package includes extra cuts in domestic and defense spending, tax code changes to raise revenues and reforms in basic benefit programs.
Howard Baker, Senate majority leader, said he expected Senate Republicans to reach a consensus on the budget early next week.
IN THE HOUSE, a Democratic ally of the administration in past budget and tax fights is promoting his own package of revisions of Reagan's proposals to help their chances of winning House approval.
The ally, Rep. Kent Hance, D-Dexas, said the White House should consider a larger defense cut, a proposal to limit spending and a revival of a proposal to delay cost-of-living increases in Social Security.
"We're close to a time when we have to adopt some kind of a strategy," he said.
