"When asked at a press conference yesterday to justify his government's apparent change ofattitude on the principles and practice of exporting armaments to certain Middle Easterncountries, President O'Reilly refused to be drawn into any sort of debate. He agreed that onecountry had been sold twice as many anti-missile devices as in the previous year but refusedto name the country concerned and merely repeated several times that the sale had been madeon the strict condition that the devices were to be used exclusively for defensive purposes.He would neither confirm or deny that the country concerned had already made firmarrangements to sell 6 of the devices to one of its neighbours at a substantial profit.
