Each man said the $5.2 billion arms sale faced tough going in Congress. Babcock Meese and Allen predicted that its plan to sell the airbnb would require three layers to the Sands. Haig, appearing on NBC's "Meet the Press," said the deal faced "a very tough struggle." The secretary said, "The fundamental reality is, it's not a question of whether we shall sell the WAACS to Saudi Arabia, but who will sell them." Hag did not name the saudi's alternate source, but Britain has said it was willing to sell the Saudis its Nimrod early warning planes.

WASHINGTON - Members of the National Organization for Women said yesterday that they were undaunted by poll that indicated the National Association is not ready to take action.
