' , \ SE~ . ;7 INSERT FOR VICE PRESIDENT'S LUNCHEON WITH THE PRESIDENT Wednesday, April 30, 1980 New Secretary of State The media and public reaction to the President's nomination of Senator Muskie should be both surprised and positive, with the assessment that the President has not been sidetracked by the aborted rescue mission, and the assessment that Muskie will probably be a stronger voice than Vance at the Department of State. Iranian Sanctions U.S. Steps and Allied Cooperation Tuesday's SCC marked an informal discussion, setting the stage for a more formal review at the SCC on Thursday of next US steps. If anything, the aborted rescue has strengthened allied state­ ments of solidarity with the US (I believe, candidly, out of fear that if they do not follow through, the US may be moved to take even more serious action against Iran). The President will meet with Prime Minister Ohira on Thursday, May 1, and you will just have met with the new Japanese Ambassador Okawara prior to your luncheon. Setting the stage for his visit to Washington, Ohira gave a speech earlier this week stating that Japan must playa bigger allied defense role. On the UK front, the British Ambassador Sir Nicholas Henderson was very supportive of the United States in a television interview on April 29. You may wish to mention to the President that you will be having dinner with British Foreign Secretary Peter Carrington on Sunday, May 4. Tito Funeral The Department of State will probably recommend to the President that he include a stop-over in Spain enroute horne from the Venice Summit this June. SE~ ~SSIFIED BY A. DENIS CLIFT REVIEW ON APRIL 29, 1986 DECLASSIFIED ~ - cx.. -of:( Efg CS'IWCX N!>? LLfrr&l-. BY ' a...-.. NARA,DATE c.,L~tex;, ", 2 S~ ? If, as expected, you head the US delegation to the funeral services for President Tito in the near future, you may wish to consider an overnight visit to Portugal enroute home from Belgrade. We are still working to bring that young democracy along. There has been a change of government since your 1977 visit, with Prime Minister Sa Carneiro having replaced Prime Minister Soares. George Vest has discussed this with me, he strongly favors a visit to Portugal (and I would note that he on the other hand would not recommend a visit to Romania). You may wish to touch on President Tito's valiant struggle, and note that it might be useful for you to visit Portugal if you go to Belgrade in the near future. Showing of UK Film on Saudi Princess in US Last Friday, I gave David Aaron my views on the very serious problems we can expect if PBS follows through on its plan to screen the UK film on the death of the Saudi Princess on May 12, namely: We are in a state of high tension in the Persian Gulf/ Southwest Asia. International oil from the region is vital and its supply precarious, the Saudis have the very deepest emotional feelings about this film, we can expect a reaction similar to that of the Saudis when the British screen the film, and this would not be in our interests. Since that time, I have noted that the government of Turkey has suspended publication of a photo novel based on the film stating that it did so because publication would be offensive to Saudi Arabia (Tab A). I think the stakes are higher in this than they would appear at first glance, and I further think it important that the President has the best possible advice on this issue. Cuban Refugee Crisis Following your informal meeting with members of the Cabinet last Saturday, the President approved your statement on the crisis (Tab B) which received considerable media play (TV, SE~ :;.;> " 3 ...S~ radio and press) notwithstanding other priority news. The "boat lift" made it through the weekend's heavy tropical storm with miraculously little loss of life. We are doing our best to keep the focus on Castro's cynical action. In this connection, the President will have received a paper from Zbig on the exercise Solid Shield recommending transfer of the amphibious portion from Guantanamo to the continental US, with an accompanying announcement that US ships in the exercise will be on the lookout for "boat people." Brown does rtot favor this recommendation, but he has said he will go along with it. The idea is not to shift the focus from Castro's cynical expulsion of people by allowing him to plead for hemispheric sympathy because the imperialist Yank~es are at it again with a military exercise at their base in his country.

INTRODUCTION In Islam, the only law is the law of God, and the law of God is the Shari'a. Literally "the way" or "the straight path," Shari'a is the civil and criminal law of Saudi Arabia2 and the Koran is the Saudi constitution. 3 "In Saudi Arabia, as in other Muslim countries, reli- gion and law are inseparable. Ethics, faith, jurisprudence, and practi- cality are so interdependent that it is impossible to study only Islamic religion or only Islamic law."' 4 Indeed, Islamic law is intended to serve as the expression of God's will.

    THE IMAGE OF SAUDI ARABIA IN THE BRITISH PRESS, with Particular Reference to Saudi Arabia's Islamic Mission. Taleb Al-Ahmady Z Submittedin accordancewith the requirementsfor the degreeof Ph.D. The University of Leeds Institute of CommunicationsStudies June 1995 The candidateconfirms that the work submittedis his own work and that appropriate credit hasbeen given where referencehas been madeto the work of others. 1 ABSTRACT Saudi The aim of this study is to trace the evolution of the image of Arabia in the British pressfrom the 1970's to the 1990's. During this period, the image which the press and its readershad of Saudi Arabia underwent a transformation. At the beginningof the 1970's, Saudi Arabia was perceivedas a distant, rather exotic, part of the Arabianpeninsula, much of a muchnesswith the other statesin the Gulf, a country about which little was or neededto be for known by British readers. It appearedto have no particular importance Britain, far less so than Egypt, Syria or Iraq which were seenas the countries of importanceand influence, for good or ill in the Middle East and within the Arab world. By the beginning of the 1990's, Saudi Arabia was by contrast in seen as a country which was of considerableimportance for Britain both particular and in a general,being of critical importancefor the West as a whole as the holder of both the largestoil reservesand having the largestlong-term oil production capacity in the world. It came to be presentedas economically important as a market for British exportsboth visible and invisible; a country in which a substantialnumber of British citizens worked and thus required the maintenanceof actively good diplomatic relations; a regional power; and, as at least one, if not now the most influential country in the affairs of the Arab world, when it choosesto exert its influence.

  • Saudi Moderation? Prince Muhammad Is on Shaky Ground
    Saudi Moderation? Prince Muhammad Is on Shaky Ground by Dr. James M. Dorsey BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 794, April 12, 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman has dazzled international media and public opinion by lifting some restrictions on women’s rights and holding out hope for the abolishment of others, vowing to return the kingdom to a vague form of moderate Islam that many believe is defined by the social reforms he has already implemented, and curbing the powers of the country’s ultra-conservative leadership. But his top-down approach to social change, which brushes aside Saudi history, rests on shaky ground. No doubt, Prince Muhammad’s recent reforms have benefitted women and created social opportunity with the introduction of modern forms of entertainment, including the opening this month of Saudi Arabia’s first cinema as well as concerts, theater, and dance performances. Anecdotal evidence testifies to the popularity of these moves, certainly among urban youth. But Prince Muhammad’s top-down approach to countering religious militancy rests on shaky ground. It involves rewriting history rather than owning up to responsibility, imposing his will on an ultra-conservative Sunni Muslim establishment whose change of heart in publicly backing him lacks credibility, and suppressing religious and secular voices who link religious and social change to political reform. Prince Muhammad has traced Saudi Arabia’s embrace of ultra-conservatism to 1979. That year, a popular revolt toppled the Shah and replaced Iran’s monarchy with an Islamic republic, and Saudi zealots took control of the Great Mosque in the holy city of Mecca.

Sixty students in undergraduate communication classes participated in Study I, which measured attitude change induced by the film, relative to the viewers' prior knowledge base. A different group of 60 communication undergraduates took part in Study II, in which thesame procedures were used, but attitude change relative to the viewers' level of religiosity was measured. Study III used a third group, 40 undergraduates enrolled, as were the others, in communication classes, to examine attitude change relative to personal evaluation of two concepts: "Saudi Arabia" and "Moslem." Each group was divided equally into those who reviewed the film and those who did not. Although it was hypothesized that viewing the docudrama would induce a more negative attitude toward Saudi Arabia, results indicated that a sweeping attitude change did not occur. Contrary to findings of previous research, men were found to be more persuadable thanwomen.

  • U. S. F-15 Jet Fighter Sale to Saudi Arabia--Analysis
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced Into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame, if copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • An Introductory History of British Broadcasting
    An Introductory History of British Broadcasting ‘. a timely and provocative combination of historical narrative and social analysis. Crisell’s book provides an important historical and analytical introduc- tion to a subject which has long needed an overview of this kind.’ Sian Nicholas, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television ‘Absolutely excellent for an overview of British broadcasting history: detailed, systematic and written in an engaging style.’ Stephen Gordon, Sandwell College An Introductory History of British Broadcasting is a concise and accessible history of British radio and television. It begins with the birth of radio at the beginning of the twentieth century and discusses key moments in media history, from the first wireless broadcast in 1920 through to recent developments in digital broadcasting and the internet. Distinguishing broadcasting from other kinds of mass media, and evaluating the way in which audiences have experienced the medium, Andrew Crisell considers the nature and evolution of broadcasting, the growth of broadcasting institutions and the relation of broadcasting to a wider political and social context.
