WORLD IN BRIEF : WASHINGTON, D.C. : $4-Billion Arms Sale to Saudis Planned
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Bush Administration said it plans to sell Saudi Arabia more than $4-billion worth of light armored vehicles, TOW anti-tank missiles and modernization packages for five AWACs surveillance planes. If Congress doesn’t object within 30 days, the sale goes through. In the formal pre-notice period during which the proposal was made known to members of Congress, no objections were raised. The plan is in addition to an earlier $6-billion offer to sell battle tanks to the Saudis.
