Jordan weighs Soviet air defense option after Hawk setback
King Hussein of Jordan said he would buy an air defense system from the Soviet Union if the United States does not complete a 14 Hawk missile battery deal. He and Prime Minister Zaid Rifai criticized U.S. congressional opposition, noting that the delay could affect Arab relations and U.S. allies. Hussein suggested Soviet advisers might be stationed in Jordan if weapons are Russian. Congress postponed a final decision until Sept. 10, raising tensions over regional arms policy.
