Arab Buildup. On the eve of Sisco's trip, pro-Israel politicians in the U.S. have been spreading alarmist reports about a significant buildup of Arab airpower. The Egyptians, according to Washington estimates, have received 100 MIGs since last September, in addition to 80 MI-8 troop-carrying helicopters. Syria has got 30 MIGs, five Sukh017 fighter-bombers and 22 helicopters. All together, there are now nearly 600 Soviet-built planes in the area, some flown by Soviet pilots...

...best. In North Africa, however, the position is slightly different. In both Morocco and Tunisia, first and second among Africa's nations in total U.S. aid, Rogers found a definite coolness. That was largely because of the Arabs' distaste for what they see as Washington's pro-Israel policy. In Morocco, Rogers made a few polite remarks at the airport; when the microphone was passed to Foreign Minister Abdelhabi Boutaleb, he stood to leave without a word.
