WASHINGTON, (JTA) -
With Gerald Rudolph Ford as
the new President, the question
uppermost in the minds of
Jewish leaders and the Jewish
community as a whole is what, if
any, changes can be expected in
the American Middle East
policy. The consensus, both
private and public, emerging
over the weekend is that there
- will be no substantial change and
that the U.S. will continue to
seek ways to help establish a
stable and lasting Mideast peace.
One of the encouraging signs,
in addition to Ford's
self-expressed attitude of
friendship for the Jewish State,

which drew a storm of criticism
and a retraction,was a letter to
employees and stockholders of
Standard Oil of California from
its chairman, Otto Miller, urging
support for “the aspirations of
the Arab people." The letter was
the first time a major oil
company took a public stand on
the Arab side of the Middle East
issue.
The Faisal threat reportedly
was made during a May, 1973
meeting in Geneva between the
King, other Saudi Arabian
leaders and Aramco officials

Faisal made his threat.
