in principle during Prime Minister Bhutto's May visit
to North Rorea, was concluded during the late June-early
August visit of a Pakistani military procurement. team.
The package includes ammunition, spare parts, and train-
ing aids and is Pakistan's second arms agreement with
Pyongyang. Islamabad purchased $25 million worth of
ground equipment in 1972. The new materiel will enable
Pakistan to replace much of the older American and British
artillery pieces in the army i~ventory.~
The_Washington Star
AP reports that Leon Jaworski says that on the day he ar-
rived in Washington to discuss the job of Watergate prose-
cutor, a possible U.S. Supreme Court appo3.ntment was
dangled before him by General Haig. Haig was not im--
mediately available for comment.
Roberta?I3ornig reports that more than Z5 years after it
was first imposed, the Arab boycott against companies
do3.ng business with Israel has become a scorching, if.
low--key, political issue in~the U.S. While far from
being highly visible, the boycott is the center of a mas-
sive lobbying effort on Capitol Hill by giant corporations.,
Ford administration figures, and Jewish and 1~rab leaders.
Jeremiah O'Leary reports that informed officials cred~:t
China to a large extent for North Rorea's abrupt switch
from almost paranoid aggressiveness to a sort of reasonable
attitude toward the U.S. in the wake of the Panmurijon
murders. It is not known whether the Soviet Union also
had a hand in the apparent change in the posture of the
Pyongyang regime but officials believe it is probable that
Peking, at Washington's urgent request, had majar influence
in the turn of events.
James R. Dickenson reports that Jimmy Carter did not take
the American Legion convention head-on l~fl percent by
advocating across-the-board amnesty, but he might as
well have. Carter has his faults, but stupidity is not
one of them. He placed his bombshell near the end of his
tent. As a result he delivered it after he had, been
interrupted several times by applause for his defense of
patriotism, his calls far strong defense and his criticism
of the shabby treatment of Vietnam war veterans. Carter
presented his proposal as one with which he knew many
would disagree but p _ ey had the right to know

where he stood. And some Legionnaires credited hirn with
at least having the guts to stand up and be counted on a
controversial issue.
Jim Browning reports that President Giscard has thrown
Paris into political turmoa.i in an effort to assert his
personal control over the French government. In accept-
ing the resignation o~ Prime Minister Chirac yesterday
and then appointing as his replacement a man known as
a nonpolitical technocrat, Giscard offered what many
commentators called a "declaration of war" on the Gaulla.st
party led by Chirac.
