...meetings with Senators had an impact. American-educated Saudi Prince Turki attended a lunch given by South Dakota's pro-Arab James Abourezk for 22 other Senators. Individually, Turki and another member of the Saudi royal family, Prince Bandar, met with other Senators. Also from Riyadh came Ghazi Algosaibi, Minister of Industry and Power, and Sulaiman As-Salim, Minister of Commerce. All were low-key but sophisticated salesmen who, in excellent English, made a strong case that their nation needed the planes for defensive purposes.

In Amman, Damascus and Baghdad, guerrilla radios suddenly began crackling with curiously coded messages. "The dinner is hot," said one. "Ghazi is marching to Haifa," said another. In plainer language, the fedayeen command advised its men to "keep your finger on the trigger until the fascist military rule has been removed." In Amman, shopkeepers, who have suffered through previous confrontations, shuttered their stores. Schools closed, offices emptied, and civilians huddled...
...iraq and Jordan, both governments were busy with trials of opposition leaders. The Iraqis rounded up 108 supporters of the deposed regime of murdered King Feisal and Nuri asSaid. The first defendant, Major General Ghazi Daghestani, predictably "confessed" that he had been involved in a plot with the U.S. and Britain to "overthrow" the Syrian government...
