Wac on her way from Bombay to Rome was forced to remain on the airplane during a stopover at Dhaharan. Saudi Arabia. because the crew feared that the Saudis would learn that the woman was Jewish. In this connection a Member of this body was refused a visa to visit Saudi Arabia and the Dhaharan airbase. which was built with U.S. funds. because of his religion. Last fall a plane carrying a Foreign Affairs subcommittee chaired by our colleague from Georgia was asked by the Lebanese whether there were any Jewish Congressmen or staff aboard. If the answer were in the affirmative. presumably the craft would not have been permitted to land.
