AI PAG ^ ( M6?HT THE AMERICAN ISRAEL PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE JUN 22 AN iO- 05 June 19, 1987 .0 / Senator Chic Hecht United States Senate 302 Hart Senate Office Bldg. Washington DC 20510 Dear Chic: We are writing to express our sincere thanks for sponsoring the resolution of disapproval on the sale of Maverick missiles to Saudi Arabia. Your support for this resolution ? along with 67 of your Senate colleagues ? sends a clear signal that an * overwhelming bipartisan majority of the Senate opposes the sale of advanced weaponry to Saudi Arabia until that country cooper-ates with American initiatives in the Middle East and Persian Gulf, recognizes Israel's right to exist and ceases to provide political and financial support for Syria and the PLO. The Reagan Administration decision to withdraw the proposed sale is a clear indication of the strength of your message and commitment. We appreciate your critical support. With best personal wishes. 500 NORTH CAPITOL STREET, N.W. ? SUITE 300 ? WASHINGTON, D.C. 20001 ? (202)638-2256 President: Robert H.
