King Hussein backs more U S aid not rapid deployment force
King Hussein of Jordan said he does not plan a Jordanian rapid deployment force but urged increased U S military aid to boost Jordanian capabilities. He warned Jordanian troops could intervene in a crisis if requested, without stationing American personnel in Jordan. The King plans a U S visit for medical checkups and invited Egypt's Mubarak to Amman as talks with Arafat aim to boost Jordanian Palestinian cooperation. In Beirut, U S jets conducted reconnaissance after a ground to air missile targeted a Navy helicopter near the U S Marine base.
