Initially, Reagan was considering a $1.1 billion deal, but trimmed the package at the suggestion of Repub lican leaders who told the president a sale of such magnitude might be blocked, two well-placed sources told The Associated Press. The package initially included $450 million in electronic equipment for U.S.-built F-15 and F-5 lighter planes and $250 million in Black Hawk combat helicopters. The Sau dis also wanted U.S. tanks and more F-15 jets but — aware of congressio nal opposition — decided instead to buy all-weather Tornado fighters from Britain and West Germany. Republican leaders urged Reagan to trim the request to Sidewinder and Stinger missiles on the theory the deal might squeak through, the sources said. The president could then come back later and ask for more weapons for the Arab king dom. The sources discussed the propo sal only on condition that they not be quoted by name. The Sidewinder^ are designed to be attached to the F-15 jets, while the Stingers are anti-aircraft missiles that could be fired by combat troops. Apart from the traditional argu ments that the Saudis are a force for moderation and stability in the Mid east and a good friend of the United States, this year’s pitch to skeptical members of Congress will include the Iran-Iraq war. Iranian troops are “at the gates” of Kuwait, and the Saudis are com mitted to go to the defense of the smaller Persian Gulf country, said a State Department official, who in sisted on anonymity. Bernard Kalb, the department spokesman, said the weapons were “defensive” in nature and that “no Final decision has been made. Critics of the Saudis are also try ing to hold up delivery of modern U.S. AW ACS radar planes already sold to the Riyadh government. Rea gan has given Congress a commit ment to deliver the planes only if there was “significant progress” to ward peace in the Middle East. Kalb said the administration ex pected all commitments to be met and that delivery could begin in a few months. Israel’s supporters are question ing the merits of another weapons sale to a major Arab country while Mideast peace efforts are at a stands till. Hinckley seeking to leave hospital one day a month Associated Press WASHINGTON - John W. Hinckley Jr., who shot and wounded President Reagan in March, 1981, asked a federal judge to permit him to leave St. Elizabeth’s mental hospi tal for one day a month and spend it in the city. Hinckley also asked U.S. Judge Barrington D. Parker to move him from the maximum security ward to which he has been confined for the past 21 consecutive months to a less restrictive ward at the hospital. Hinckley has been in St. Eliza beth’s since June 1982, when a jury found him innocent by reason of in sanity in the shootings of Reagan and three other men. Under a special act of Congress applicable only in the District of Co lumbia, Hinckley is entitled to be re leased from the mental hospital if he can prove that he is no longer dan gerous to himself or to others by rea son of mental illness. In his petition to Judge Parker, Hinckley, acting on his own behalf, said expert testimony he intends to offer at a hearing “will establish that (his) illness is in remission.” He said he will show that movement to a less restrictive ward and city privileges “are appropriate at this time.” He said he would like to be trans ferred to a less restrictive ward in the same building where he is currently confined. He has been out on the hospital grounds 20 times in the past two months “and has acted appropri ately and without incident,” he told Parker. Hinckley said he thinks he can handle limited city privileges one day a month. Group suggests tax increase on cigarettes Associated Press CHICAGO — The Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, increasing its attack on to bacco, has devoted its entire cur rent issue to articles emphasizing the deadly risks posed by tobacco products. An editorial in Friday’s jour nal, the third special anti-tobacco issue in 18 months, said the AM A regards tobacco products as socie ties’ “greatest current public health problem.” One article suggests that an 8- cent to 16-cent-per-pack increase in cigarette taxes would encour age between 1 million and 2 mil lion young people and 800,000 to 1.5 million adults to stop smok ing. Medical experts say AIDS panic as scary as FROM WARNER BROS Associated Press WASHINGTON — Chances of spreading AIDS in schools are re mote if not non-existent, medical ex perts told a national conference of school officials on Thursday, pleading for help in stopping what they called AIPS — AIDS-Induced Panic Syndrome. Dr. Harold Jaffe of the Federal Centers for Disease Control, refer ring to a similar disease he called “AfrAIDS,” said that if school offi cials and others base decisions on speculation, the social destruction from the fear of AIDS will soon rival the physical destruction of AIDS it self. Federal and private researchers said that in most cases there’s no rea son to keep kids with the deadly dis ease out of school. “AIDS is a scary disease,” Jaffe ac knowledged. But careful tests show no risk of transmission between family mem bers living in close quarters, he said, and only a very small risk among neaiin care workers dealing daily with AIDS patients. “Surely the risk of transmission with less intense contact, such as in schools, offices and churches, would appear to be remote,” Jaffe said. Other scientists made similar com ments about the disease. Dr. Woodrow Myers, Indiana state health commissioner said scien tists are unwilling to say there is no chance of students communicating the disease. Several doctors at the conference, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, coor dinator of AIDS research at the Na tional Institutes of Health, said the disease in this country spreads al most exclusively through sexual con tact among homosexual or bisexual men, through sharing of needles by intravenous drug abusers or, in a few cases, through transfusions or injections of blood products or through birth by a mother carrying the AIDS virus.
