Shortened remarks at the Oregon Committee for Israel Bonds regarding the US–Saudi Arabia AWACS Sale

Description

The shortened remarks of US Congressman Les AuCoin at the Oregon Committee for Israel Bonds on June 3, 1981. In his speech, Congressman AuCoin criticized the Reagan Administration's proposal to sell offensive arms to Saudi Arabia (the US–Saudi Arabia AWACS Sale), a country in which the US had a history of oil pricing disputes with, instead describing Israel as the true "dependable friend in the Middle East."
