WASHINGTON — The
mere idea of a U.S. sale of war
planes and rockets to Jordan has
sparked opposition in Congress
despite President Reagan’s
assurance this week that he will
stand by Israel.
Eighteen senators — 14
Democrats and four Republi
cans — signed a letter Wednes
day urging Reagan not to prop
ose such a sale until the adminis
tration has thoroughly con
sulted Congress and U.S. allies.
Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-
Mass., one of the signers, said
the type of sale discussed “would
represent a serious and un
acceptable threat to the security
of Israel, our most reliable ally in
the Middle East.”
Israel’s new ambassador to
the United States, Moshe Arens,
met with Secretary of State Alex
ander Haig Thursday to register
Israel’s objection to sales of adv
anced U.S. arms to Arab coun
tries.
Arens said most of their dis
cussion at the State Department
was “directed at the dangers we
in Israel perceive in the supply
of advanced weaponry” to Arab
countries.
Arens said he will see Secret
ary of Defense Caspar Weinber
ger on Friday •
Weinberger triggered an in
ternational flap last week when
he told reporters at Jordan’s
Amman Airport that he had dis
cussed with Jordanians the pos
sibility of selling them F-16s and
mobile Hawk anti-aircraft mis
siles.

WASHINGTON — The
White House is considering new
sanctions in Response to the Pol
ish crisis — one that would tight
en credit on Soviet purchases
and another that would ban im
ports of non-essential goods,
such as Russian vodka.
Officials said the Reagan
administration is trying to line
up allied support for the possi-
ble measures against the Soviet
Union, which it has blamed in
part, for the crackdown in Po
land.
They said Wednesday,
Undersecretary of State James
Buckley is being sent to Europe
in the next five days as head of
an American delegation of ex
perts to line up allied support.
