Introducing a resolution Monday to that effect, he declared that the “Soviet Union could end the Arab oil embargo tomorrow if they wanted to. I think we should make them want to Schweiker declared further: “I am for true detente but detente is false as long as the Soviet Union does nothing about irresponsible policies of its Arab allies against the U.S.” He maintained that “the Soviet Union’s capacity to influence Arab governments has been well demonstrated in recent weeks,” a reference to the Egyptian-Syrian attacks on Israel with Soviet equipment and Soviet diplomatic movements in behalf of the Arab countries fighting Israel.
