...deal, the Saudis can surely find equally compelling reasons to violate the terms of the sale that Reagan outlined in his letter to Baker. "...Saudi Arabia has agreed not to share access to AWACs equipment, technology...with any nation other than the U.S. without the prior explicit mutual consent of both governments," stated the letter, which was designed to reassure wavering senators. There is no way for Reagan to insure that the Saudis will remain cooperative. The F-15 sale three years ago was meant to guarantee Saudi Arabian gratitude. Apparently, it was not enough. Nor apparently, does the AWACs...
...many modern Greeks, Papandreou's cry for change seemed right for the times. He promised to establish civil marriages, liberalize abortion, allow divorce by common consent, and separate church from state, a radical prospect in a religiously orthodox society.

After inmates brought a civil rights lawsuit in federal court, prison officials signed a consent decree to put 624 new regulations into effect. But Daniel Cron, a lawyer hired by the state to monitor compliance, claimed in a blistering 482-page report last May that more than half of the changes had not been made. State prison officials then fired him. They took him back only after the lawyer for the convicts threatened to seek a contempt of court...
...with Presidential Aides James Baker, Richard Allen and Edwin Meese. The Nunn-Warner Resolution, which is backed by 24 other Senators, would place general restrictions on the use of any exported AWACS. Among them: no third country would have access to the technology or the information gathered without U.S. consent, all data must be continuously shared with the U.S., and the planes would be adequately protected. Reagan has agreed to write the provisions of the resolution into the final U.S.-Saudi contract. The Administration hopes that this concession will not only secure the votes of Warner, Nunn and their supporters...
