Maxwell E. Greenberg, chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, has expressed approval of the State Department’s opposition to a sale of American jumbo jets to Libya on grounds it could be detrimental to U.S. interest. In a letter to Secretary of State Cyrus R. Vance, he said the ADL was “pleased to note that the State Department has recognized the strong possibility that Libya would use the 747’s in inappropriate and improper ways to the detriment of America’s interests and to the detriment of peace.”
