United Press International
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi
Arabia is deeply disappointed with
the Camp David summit agree
ments but will not cut off oil
supplies to the Western world in re
taliation and will try to discourage
other Arab oil states from doing so,
diplomatic sources said Thursday.

that Secretary of State Cyrus Vance
will be able to persuade Saudi
Arabia’s King Khalid to give any en
dorsement to Camp David, at least
publicly.
But Khalid will not denounce
Egyptian president Anwar Sadat.
The last thing the Saudis want is to
see Sadat overthrown by an ex
tremist regime.
At the Khalid-Vance meeting in
the royal palace in Riyadh, Khalid is
expected to ask for more U.S. coop
eration in arming moderate Arab
governments now that Camp David
has been denounced by militant
Arab regimes and the Soviet Union.
Khalid sees no use in reviving the
embargo that cut off Arab oil to the
West for months after the 1973
Arab-Israeli war. Khalid is specifi
cally interested in obtaining U.S.
military supplies for the new mili
tary but non-Marxist regime in
North Yemen and is willing to help
pay for them.
The Saudis see North Yemen as a
buffer between themselves and
Marxist South Yemen.
They also would like the United
States to send more military
supplies to Somalia in its dispute
with Marxist Ethiopia over the
Ogaden desert.
The Saudis have always been con
cerned about being encircled by
countries that are extremist or Marx
ist or both.
The repercussions of Camp David
plus continuing disorders in Iran
raise the harrowing specter for the
Saudis of extremist governments in
Iran and Egypt.
With Marxists already running
Ethiopia and South Yemen, this
would leave the Saudis feeling iso
lated indeed.
The Saudis have long been pour
ing oil money on the troubled wa
ters of Arab politics. They see
Camp David as stirring up these
waters anew.
They do not see Camp David as a
realistic solution to the Arab-Israeli
dispute because in their view it
leaves out the Palestinians.

1 Carter praiseij
by governors
United Press International
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
— Southern governors wound up
their annual meeting with decisions
to nominate President Carter for the
Nobel Peace Prize, demand a na
tional energy plan and fight for their
fair share of federal money.
The four-day Southern Governors
Conference concluded Wednesday
on this resort island where gover
nors and their staff were able to
swim and play tennis and golf in the
afternoons.
Carter, elected president in 1976
after serving one term as governor
of Georgia, came out a big winner in
the conference.

Vesco link claimed
FBI may quiz Carter
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Administra
tion sources say it appears likely the
FBI will want to question President
Carter about a meeting he had con
cerning fugitive financier Robert
Vesco’s efforts to seek top-level
White House contacts.
Deputy press secretary Rex
Granum’s account of the meeting
Wednesday was the first disclosure
that Vesco’s alleged influence
seeking effort ever came to Carter’s
personal attention.
Granum said W. Spencer Lee IV,
an Albany, Ga., lawyer, had ap
proached presidential special assis
tant Richard Harden on Feb. 8,
1977, and told him “people involved
with Vesco had offered him a large
sum of money to arrange a meeting
with (White House aide Hamilton)
Jordan.”
Vesco was then in Costa Rica av
oiding extradition to the United
States, where he still faces trial on
charges he bilked investors out of
millions of dollars in a gigantic stock
swindle.
Granum said Harden warned Lee
— a Carter supporter and an old ac
quaintance of both Harden and Jor
dan — not to get involved any
further and persuaded him not to
try to contact Jordan. He said Lee
accepted Harden’s advice.
Granum said Lee asked Harden
to tell the president about the
scheme, and Harden briefed Carter
about a week later. Granum said the
president told Harden he had “done
the right thing” in squelching the
Vesco inquiries.
After the session, however, Car

Bell in a note dated Feb. 15, 1977,
“Please see Spencer Lee from Al
bany (Ga.) when he requests an ap
pointment. JC.” Lee apparently
never did.
Granum conceded Carter’s note
was "cryptic and could have been
construed as encouragement,” but
said Carter meant only to steer the
matter to the Justice Department’s
legal experts and did not request
that Bell meet with Lee.
Asked why the president had not
ordered up an immediate criminal
investigation, or at least told Bell
what Vesco was up to, Granum said
he could only speculate that Carter
thought the matter had been nipped
in the bud and nothing illegal had
happened.
Granum said Carter does not re
member discussing the Vesco mat
ter with Harden. Their meeting
lasted only a few minutes, Granum
said.
Justice Department spokesman
Terrence Adamson said Bell never
received the note. Adamson said it
was found in correspondence files
10 days ago, shortly after Lee in
formed Securities and Exchange
Commission investigators of his
brief effort to arrange a White
House liaison with Vesco.
Adamson said the note was disco
vered in a file marked “awaiting
further action’’ and was turned over
to investigators working on the
Vesco case.
The latest revelations will bring
the Oval Office itself to the attention
of federal investigators, and ad
ministration sources said it ap
peared likely the FBI would have to
question Carter about the incident.
