1 Y'/ PAKISTAN-US: F-16 Issue
Top Secret
President Zia told Under Secretary of State Eagle-
burger on Sunday that the F-16 fighter aircraft being
supplied to Pakistan will have to include the advanced
ALR-69 radar warning receiver. Zia's closest adviser,
Lieutenant General Arif, later said that failure to in-
clude the equipment would aid the President's domestic
critics, who want to prove that the US is unreliable.
Arif suggested that the first delivery of six F-16s,
which is scheduled for 2 December, not be made until
Comment: Zia's personal involvement in the issue
indicates that Islamabad is making this a test of the
US commitment. If the question is not settled before
Zia visits the US in early December, he almost certainly
will raise it in Washington. Islamabad has become in-
creasingly concerned about relations with the US. F__1
