Reagan presses on arms policy amid Lebanon withdrawal stalls
In a question and answer session Reagan said he would not sell 75 F 16 jets until Israel withdraws forces from Lebanon, noting the law prevents action. He cited Habib’s efforts to withdraw Israeli, Syrian, and PLO forces as necessary for Arab Israeli talks. He praised Kenneth Adelman as an excellent pick to lead the Arms Control agency and stressed stronger trans Atlantic ties despite Western doubts about U S policy. He warned leaks harm arms control and urged responsible press coverage. He framed a shift from full disarmament to an interim Europe agreement and urged patience in negotiations.
