Reagan moves to salvage AWACS sale in Senate
President Reagan, facing likely House defeat, offers written security assurances to defend the AWACS arms sale to Saudi Arabia. Key Senate votes loom as Chaffee and Percy shift toward support, while opponents plan a decisive veto effort next Tuesday. The $8.5 billion package includes five AWACS planes, missiles, and refueling gear, seen by supporters as vital for Gulf defense but criticized as a threat to Israel.
