U.S. Clears Sale of Planes To South
African Government
. IAN The Wichita
based Beech Aircraft
Corporation has applied
for Commerce Depart
merit permission to sell
six to ten Super King
200C twin engine tur
boprops to the South
African Air Force for
use as air ambulances,
' Africa News has learned.
Confirming the -application,
a Beech
spokesman said the
planes are civilian ver
sions of the Beech
C-12As, which have been
'purchased by all four
'U.S. military branches.'
The planes have been us
ed in Vietnam and other
'overseas locations for
electronic surveillance,
iroop and cargo
transp6rt, and emergen
cy evacuations.
The Beech application
will provide at) early test
of the l Reagan y &d
, ministration's ? new ex
port policy, Revised 'ex-
port regulations; which
went Into effect March ,
lift the. ban on sales of
various . non-military
items for several South
African government en
tities, including the
military and police.
The regulations do not
change the ban on sales
of arms and related
equipment and
materials. Licenses arc
still required for export
of aircraft and
helicopters and for most
sales of U.S. goods and
technology to . military
police.
But some important
exceptions have been in
troduced. No licenses are
now required for sales to
the military and police of
food and non-military
clothing, i or chemicals

government, business
and community based
organizations, with the
latter as an equal partner
in decision-making and
implementation.
The CED report is also
important for its views
on ,; the controversial
enterprise zones. Those
zones would attempt to
lure industry into
depressed areas by a.
variety of means,
especially tax abatements
and incentives.
wnue tne enterprise
zone concent deserves a
chance, I share the
CED's cautious view of
it. The report states:
"The concept is in its
. infancy and governments
should proceed with cau
tion. Much remains to be
learned about both the
value to firms of dif
ferent forms of financial'
incentives and their costs
to governments.
Therefore, i enterprise
zone experiments should
be implemented on a
limited basis and the
. results carefully .
: evaluated v before pro
ceeding': - to wider
efforts!. , .
While I share those
sentiments, . Pm even
I more concerned that the
I enterprise zone
guidelines fnsufc that the
disadvantaged . ' actually
do get the promised jobs

As 1- one ; of . the CED

purpose." Profits help

our America in the Middle East.
Yet, U.S. Ambassador Charles M. Lichenstein
who sat in Mrs. Kirkpatrick's chair as acting leader
during Mr. Sulaiman's remarks, callously read the
New York Times. When other Arabs spokeVhe
with the U.S. course.. Said Mr. ' Blum: "The ac-'
complices in the drafting of this shameless docu
ment and I will not dignify them by calling them
sponsors seek to isolate my people, Many tyrants .
throughout history have tried to do this before
them. They are all gone and forgotten, while. my -people
has returned to its land and restored its
sovereignty there after nineteen centuries of exile
and dispersion. This organization cannot and will
not isolate the people of Israel, but it can and does '
increasingly isolate itself ; from enlightened
mankind, which will not countenance endlessly the
paroxysms of collective frenzy being exhibited here
at regular intervals and with increasing frequency."
Of course Ambassador Blum s utterances are
thumbed through the Times or busied himself in self-servim. He completely ignores Israel's
conversations wun ms colleagues. , - v;;
To me Mr. Lichenstein was showing the Israeli
delegation his disdain for Arab concerns. He
repulsed me for not showing the courtesy and
respect that U.S. Mission leaders and members have
exercised in the past despite the rantings of their
adversaries in UN debates, especially those involv
ing the Soviet Union, f
At the U.S. Mission at this interval, there is no
comparison in the greatness and dedication of the
distinguished personalities, including many blacks,
beginning with the founding of the UN and in the
recent past. Here are some of them many chief
representatives, alternates and deputy am
bassadors: James Wadsworth, Henry Cabot Lodge,
Governor Adlai Stevenson, Governor William
Scranton, Charles W. Yost, Judge Arthur J.
Goldberg, Vice President George Bush, Mayor An
other dollars in the millions are reqaired by the UN
Emergency Force (UNEF) which are in Lebanon,
' Egypt, the Golan and in other limited areas. 1
"The intransigence of Israel haunts us," sighed a
moderate Asian diplomat to the UN. .
. On he Book of Isaiah it was Mr. Blum who
started the controversy about the inscription on a
wall in front of the UN headquarters. At the special
General Assembly session on Golan, Mr. Blum
vehemently stated: , , '
; "In view of the degeneration and perversion of
this organization by. the forces of International
lawlessness it is an affront to common decency that
the words of a great visionary of peace Isaiah,
the prophet of Israel - should be permitted to con
tinue gracing the wall across the street from this
building.; In order to avoid further insult to the
memory of this great son of the Jewish people, we
'. appeal to the City of New .York to consider remov?
ing. the Isaiah inscription and hus to give expres
sion to the sentiments of abhorrence of civilized
mankind at : the systematic debasement of this
organization by the bigots, hypocrits and liars who
man ipulate the United Nations of 1 982."
Quoting also front. Isaiah,! would urge Am
bassador Blum and his Prime Minister Menachem
Begin to heed the cries and anxiety of the UN ma
jority who are saying to Israel lii effect, Isaiah 59:3
"For your hands are defiled with blood and your
fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies,
your tongue hath muttered rjexyerseness."
And based on the UN entanglement with Israel, I
,am Sure the. UN; i it-chose, could really apply its',
principles as being synonymous with Prophet
Isaiah's Chaptei 55:7
culpability irt aggravating the whole fabric of peace
in the Middle East. Here are some of the unilateral
provocations Israel has incurred: When Egypt na
tionalized the Suez Canal, Israel invaded this na
tion. Concurrently, Britain and France attacked the
Suez Canal area. It was the General Assembly
recognizing French and English vetoes as negatives
in the Security Council, who voted a UN Emergen
cy Force to keep peace. It was President Dwight D.
Eisenhower who gave all three invaders orders to Let the wicked Forsake his way, and the
get out and they did. In the late 70's the UN con
demned Israel twice in the Security Council for
-'preventitive strikes" against so-called Arab com
mando bases. She was also censured twice for re
taining control over Jerusalem despite the UN
directive that the city be internationalized; ,
Other UN involvements - with Israel are several
preemptive strikes against the PLO in Lebanon
unrighteous man ibis thoughts: and let him return
unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon."!
I would categorically state that the United Na
tions, a citadel of peace, has hope for Israel and the
Arabs making a lasting peace in their region.
