'audi Arabia, Kuwaiti repayment to America
irainm: Arabs should accept Israel
HOUSTON (AP) — The United States should
n on Kuwait and Saudi Arabia to accept Israel
a nation and end any hostilities against the
vish state as part of the payoff for helping the
3 Arab countries in the war against Iraq, U.S.
a. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, said Monday.
“Countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are
ing to owe their existence to us,” Gramm said
an appearance at a Grumman Houston Corp.
craft plant. “We’ve got to put this victory and

“I think we have the right to ask Kuwait and

Gramm said a U.S.-led victory in the Persian
ilf War and the multitude of problems being
perienced in the Soviet Union will leave the
lited States as the only superpower in the
irld.
“I think we’ve got to put that power and influ-
ce to an important purpose, and I think trying
find a permanent peace in the Middle East is a
gpart of that purpose,” he said.

are taking the war to the Iraqis and are saving
American lives.”
The plant turns out hundreds of components
that are used in the assembly of aircraft that in
clude the A-6E Intruder, a Navy and Marine
Corps attack plane, and the F-14 Tomcat, a Navy
fighter plane.
“We appreciate the fact you take pride in your
work,” he said. “We appreciate the fact those
weapons systems work. And you’re an important
part of the victory we’re winning in the Middle
East. We owe a lot to the craftsmen who work
here in Houston to build those weapons and put
quality into every part.
“When the Iraqis come out of their bunkers,
whatever they come out of, your A-6 Intruder is
going to welcome them to American technology,”
Gramm said while about 200 employees cheered
and whistled.
Employees also were enthusiastic about
Gramm’s visit.
“It makes me feel a whole lot better for some
one like him to tell you they appreciate what
we’re doing,” said Valerie Horton, who was
working with her husband on the cockpit of an E-
2C Hawkeye, an airborne early warning craft
that carries a large round radar dish atop its fuse
lage.
“They’re not beautiful but they do work,”
Gramm said of the plane.
Gramm predicted the war would end quickly
but refused to be pinned down to a time.
“I’m reluctant ... to give a timetable but I do
not believe we’re looking at a long drawn-out
conflict,” he said.
Gramm is on a tour of defense plants around
Texas. Earlier in the day, he visited San Antonio-
based Fairchild Aircraft Co., which has unveiled
a complex cooling system manufactured for the
Air Force to cool thousands of military personnel
in the Middle East.

Student prepares file
for draft objection
FORT WORTH (AP) — The
president’s word may be good
enough for most Americans, but a
21-year-old Hurst student says he
doesn’t believe President Bush’s as
sertion that Congress won’t be asked
to reinstitute the draft.
So Christoper Largen is taking
steps to make sure that he won’t,
have to fight now or later. He’s
building a file to support his claim to
conscientious objector status.
David Stoler, a counselor for the
Central Committee for Conscien
tious Objectors in Philadelphia, said
the file could include a wide variety
of documentation.
“It could be a paper you wrote at
school, handouts from a demonstra
tion or correspondence,” he said.
“Simply believing that killing is
wrong isn’t good enough,” Stoler
said. “You have to state it on moral
grounds.”
I^argen’s 3-inch-thick file includes
an essay on America’s willingness to
punish murderers and decorate sol
diers, a letter to his college newspa
per urging students to reject bigotry
and a statement to the Selective
Service outlining his philosophy of
nonviolence.
“If they don’t give me the status,
then I’ll go to jail,” said Largen, a
freshman at Tarrant County Junior
College.
According to the Selective Service
Act, a conscientious objector is one,
who “by reason of religious training
and by belief, is conscientiously op
posed to participation in war in any
form.”
Conscientious objection to Ameri
can military service dates from Colo
nial times but has been slow to gain
social acceptability.
Bush has reiterated that the draft
would not be reinstated.
