Sources: Reagan
to ask Congress
to OK missile sale
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President
Reagan is preparing to ask Congress
to approve the sale of $300 million
in missiles to Saudi Arabia, congres
sional sources said Thursday, a re
quest likely to touch off another
fight with Israel’s supporters when it
reaches Capitol Hill next week.
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.
