...crowded Senate caucus room last week to face the storm over U.S. foreign policy. In charge was Georgia's Walter George, who had called the unusual open session of the Foreign Relations Committee primarily to find out about the off-again, on-again Saudi Arabian tank shipment. But it was obvious from one look at the squall line of Democratic liberals (Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey, Alabama's John Sparkman, Arkansas' Bill Fulbright) at the end of the committee table-busy conferring around piles of books, maps, clippings and notes-that much more than that was coming...

France with her Algerian problem, is as interested in maintaining Moslem goodwill as the United States, and hence is most unwilling to make the shipment, in spite of American pressure.
