Schultz urges approval
of arms sale to Jordan
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Seuetaiv of
Slate George Shull/ told skepiic.il
senators Thursdu\ that approval of
the Reagan administration’s $1.9 bil
lion arms sale to jordan is an “abso
lute necessity” for ultimate success in
the search for peace in the Middle-
East.
Testifying before the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, Shultz
said Jordan’s King Hussein has
taken "courageous move's" toward
opening negotiations with Is
rack and added that from the kine’s
point of view, ‘‘You like to leel that
peace has friends, and the friends of
peace will stand with you."
But several members of the com
mittee challenged Shultz's dest rip-
tion of events in the Middle East.
“I disagree that the king of Jot dan
has made meaningful moves." said
Sen. Rudy lioschwitz, R-Minn. . .
He puts a n imber of obstacles in the
way of peace."
Shultz’ 90-minute appearance be
fore the committee represented the
beginning of what is expected to be* a
hard sell for die administration to
win approval for i ,v proposed sale* of
sophisticated aircraft and air de
fense missiles to Jordan.
Legislation to block the sale is ex

Apartheid is South Africa’s insti
tutionalized racial separation, by
which 5 million whites dominate 24
million blacks.
The Kruger Day celebrations gave
ultra-right-wing whites, descendants
of the mainly Dutch and German
settlers who started arriving at Cape-
Town in 1652, an opportunity to re
call their pioneer heritage.
President PAW Botha, while dis
missing the* small far-right as reactio
nary, also has invoked Kruger's
memory in recent speeches, declar
ing the National Party will share
power with other races but won’t ab
dicate white rights altogether.
