Maynard Kaplan, President; David Levison, Ford Says He Will Sell Planes To Egypt WASHINGTON (WNS) - President Ford has made it clear to Jewish leaders that his. Administration will not back down from its decision to sell six C-130 troop trans¬ port planes to Egypt. Rabbi Alexander M. Schindler, chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organiza¬ tions, who led the delegation of about a dozen leaders which met with Ford for 85 minutes at the White House, said that Ford asserted his Administration's policy is helping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in order to encourage him and other Arab moderates. Rabbi Schindler added the Pres¬ ident said "over and over again" that despite any dis¬ agreement with Israel, the U.S. is committed to the Jewish State. Schindler de¬ clared that the American Jewish community is not opposed to economic aid to Egypt but opposes the pro¬ jected sale of the six C-130s because it sees it as a "sym- ' bolic act" that will begin an arms supply relationship be¬ tween the U.S. and Egypt. Schindler noted that Israel received $1.3 billion in arms from the U.S. in 1975 while the' Arab nations received $14-15 billion, half of it from '' the Soviet Union and the rest fron\Westerrt sources. <■• Rabbi'Schindler/said the President did not indicate whether the transport planes would be sold to Egypt as a military sale or as several Senators have recom¬ mended a direct commercial deal with the manufacturer, Lockheed Aircraft Com¬ pany, thus avoiding a clash in Congress. But Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger has publicly stressed that he believes it should be dpne through a military deal.' Kissinger told the Senate Foreign Relations Com¬ mittee that the decision to sell Egypt the C-l30s "can¬ not possibly affect the strate¬ gic balance with Israel." Kissinger also told the committee that Sadat's deci¬ sion, endorsed by the Egyptian Parliament, to abrogate the 1971 Egyptian- Soviet treaty of friendship has "gravely weakened, if not ended the Soviet connec¬ tion without asking anything from us." But; in Jerusalem, observers see the ■ Sadat move as motivated; in part at least,' by his desire to sway American public opin¬ ion in favor of providing ' American arms for Egypt. In New York, Mrs." Faye Schehk, chairman of the American Zionist' Feder¬ ation charged that "The timing of this latest act is too close to the scheduled United States Administration 1 request for arms sales to ' Egypt not to be viewed as an Egyptian attempt to involve itself in American politics for military gain."

Hertzberg said the letters from the 22 companies demonstrated that "it is simply not true that major, American com¬ panies with world-wide interests cannot stand up to the Arab boycott." The written assurances from the companies- were "an out¬ growth of a nationwide drive by the AJCongress to have 138 firms tell their share¬ holders whether they are participating in the Arab' boycott of Israel.
