[0:03] This is NBC Nightly News, Friday, June
[0:05] 10th, with John Chancellor and David
[0:07] Brinkley. Tonight, reported from London
[0:12] and the NBC News Center in New York with
[0:14] John Hart substituting for David
[0:16] Brinkley.
[0:17] >> Good evening. President Carter is mad at
[0:19] Congress for tinkering with his energy
[0:21] plans. as press secretary saying today
[0:23] it was a $70 billion ripoff when a House
[0:26] committee voted yesterday to take price
[0:29] controls off newly discovered natural
[0:31] gas. The president is angry at another
[0:33] committee for weakening his tax
[0:35] proposals on gas guzzlers, saying in a
[0:38] statement, "The people will be the ones
[0:39] to suffer if our hopes for an energy
[0:41] plan are thwarted. They will be the ones
[0:44] who pay for yesterday's special interest
[0:46] victories."
[0:47] This is a plain accusation that
[0:49] Congressman caved into the automobile
[0:51] and gas lobbies. An accusation made
[0:54] through press secretary Jodie Powell,
[0:56] who issued the president's statement and
[0:58] who is in the White House briefing room
[0:59] now to tell Bob Jameson what the
[1:01] president intends to do about it.
[1:04] >> Jody, just how angry is your boss? What
[1:06] is is he prepared to do? Is he prepared
[1:08] to invoke the moral equivalent of war
[1:10] like he talked about when the energy
[1:11] policy was first announced? Well, I
[1:14] think you what you have to do is just
[1:15] continue to work. He's been talking with
[1:17] the leadership. We'll continue to do
[1:18] that. The the simple facts of the matter
[1:21] are that when you when you remove a
[1:24] portion of an energy plan, then some way
[1:27] you've got to come up with a with an
[1:29] alternative to accomplish the same
[1:30] goals. And if if you don't do that, by
[1:32] the time you get to the end, you have no
[1:33] plan. You continue to waste and you're
[1:35] in serious trouble. The president
[1:37] president's not uh is not mad at the
[1:39] Congress. His uh his statement today
[1:41] made it quite clear. He complimented the
[1:43] members of Congress who' resisted very
[1:44] intense lobbying efforts. He uh
[1:46] complimented the Senate for the National
[1:48] Clean Air. Uh he focused his uh his
[1:50] comments today directly at the oil and
[1:53] gas lobbies and the automobile lobbies
[1:54] who have mounted a very intensive effort
[1:56] there and uh so far at least on a couple
[2:00] of uh two or three committee votes
[2:02] they've been successful. While you have
[2:05] directed your criticism, as you say, at
[2:07] the lobbyists, should criticism also be
[2:09] directed at the House leadership and at
[2:12] the White House lobbying effort for not
[2:13] being able to bring this off? I think
[2:15] not. The uh House leadership has worked
[2:18] extremely well with the president said
[2:20] this afternoon after talking with the
[2:21] speaker O'Neal that he had confidence in
[2:23] the ultimate uh judgment and wisdom of
[2:26] Congress. And I think uh when we get
[2:28] through with all this uh if we uh hang
[2:31] tough and and don't give up, we will
[2:33] have a good energy plan. But it's not
[2:35] going to be easy because the decisions
[2:37] are not easy. And as for the White House
[2:39] uh lobbying effort, as you put it, the
[2:41] uh the oil and gas companies and the
[2:43] automobile industry have been winning
[2:45] battles in Congress for years and years
[2:47] and years. In fact, I would guess their
[2:49] track record uh is one of the best.
[2:52] So, so I I I I don't think you could uh
[2:54] you could lay the uh lay the blame for a
[2:57] very unwise and illconsidered action at
[3:00] the feet of the people who in fact
[3:02] proposed it and have spent uh the better
[3:04] part of several months fighting for it.
[3:05] >> Mr. Powell, u there is a written promise
[3:08] by candidate Carter to work toward
[3:11] deregulation of new natural gas. Now,
[3:14] the president's upset that a
[3:16] subcommittee of the House has done
[3:18] exactly that. No, that's that's that's
[3:20] completely wrong. As a matter of fact,
[3:22] what he is upset at about is that the uh
[3:26] that what the committee has done is not
[3:28] to work toward deregulation, but they
[3:31] have moved immediately to what amounts
[3:33] to almost complete and total
[3:35] deregulation. What the president
[3:36] proposed uh as he said very clearly in
[3:39] two energy speeches was to work toward
[3:42] deregulation. We have a proposal that
[3:44] that makes us make steps in those
[3:46] directions. But uh what has been the
[3:48] difference uh between what the president
[3:50] promised and and has proposed and what
[3:53] the what this uh committee has done is
[3:56] about $71 billion over the next 8 years
[3:59] and that's that is a considerable
[4:00] difference. So they they have not at all
[4:02] done what the president indicated that
[4:04] he would or promised to do in the
[4:05] campaign and what he has in fact uh
[4:07] proposed.
[4:08] >> What is the White House what positive
[4:10] steps will the president take now to
[4:12] overcome the efforts of the lobbyists?
[4:14] Well, the president will just have to
[4:15] continue to meet with uh leadership in
[4:18] the Congress and members of the
[4:20] Congress. He'll have to uh continue as
[4:22] as he has done in the past to explain
[4:24] his position uh to the American people
[4:27] to explain the consequences of failure
[4:29] to action. I might I might say on behalf
[4:32] of of the Congress that that uh this is
[4:34] a very very difficult business. It's
[4:37] it's the benefits are way down the road.
[4:39] Uh all the all the hurt comes right now.
[4:42] So, uh, uh, we think it'll work it'll
[4:44] work out, but it's going to be tough.
[4:46] >> Thank you, Mr. P.
[4:47] >> Thanks very much. And Bob,
[4:49] >> one of the votes that brought all this
[4:51] on came from Democrat Robert Krueger of
[4:54] Texas, who voted in committee to remove
[4:57] the price controls from newly discovered
[4:58] natural gas. And he's in our Washington
[5:01] studio with John Cochran. Gentlemen,
[5:04] Congressman Krueger, earlier today, Jod
[5:05] Powell said the vote in your
[5:07] subcommittee yesterday that you won will
[5:09] cost American consumers $70 million over
[5:12] the next 8 years. Is that right?
[5:14] >> 70 billion.
[5:15] >> Mhm.
[5:16] >> No, it's not right. And it shows, as I
[5:18] think the comment by Mr. Powell just now
[5:20] shows, that he really doesn't understand
[5:22] at all what our House committee has done
[5:24] or what the bill was. As a matter of
[5:26] fact, the study that the White House did
[5:28] was of legislation that was never
[5:29] presented before our committee. The
[5:32] study was as if you made a study of
[5:34] Uruguay and then said the following is
[5:36] true of Brazil. It simply was two
[5:38] different things. Moreover, as Mr. Hart
[5:40] has just pointed out, the president did
[5:42] indicate that he wished to work towards
[5:44] deontrol. Mr. Paul has just said that it
[5:46] is total and immediate deontrol. That is
[5:48] absolutely consummately false. The fact
[5:51] is that all that we did yesterday is to
[5:53] remove federal price controls from newly
[5:56] discovered natural gas, which would
[5:58] probably mean less than 10% of the gas
[6:01] flowing in this country each year. And
[6:03] that would be gradually phased in. The
[6:05] real need of the American people is to
[6:07] get enough gas to keep jobs. And that's
[6:09] what we in the Congress were trying to
[6:11] help them with.
[6:12] >> But Mr. Krueger, you're from San
[6:13] Antonio, Texas, and some people in your
[6:15] own hometown last year couldn't pay the
[6:17] natural gas bills because in Texas,
[6:19] natural gas is already deregulated. Now,
[6:22] you're talking about deregulating it all
[6:23] over the country. And in your own
[6:24] district, it caused great hardships last
[6:26] year. It caused great hardships. We knew
[6:29] about that. We are trying to deal with
[6:30] it on a local level. But the even
[6:32] greater hardships that were that befell
[6:34] last year were the hardships in Ohio,
[6:36] Pennsylvania, those 2 million jobs that
[6:38] were lost because of natural gas
[6:40] shortages. Those jobs were lost because
[6:43] we did not bring on the supplies we
[6:45] needed. The Energy Research and
[6:47] Development Administration has just
[6:48] indicated that by their estimates
[6:50] between at prices between two and a
[6:53] quarter and $3, we would have perhaps up
[6:55] to a,000 years of natural gas supplies.
[6:58] Carter administration simply does not
[7:00] have that plugged in to their energy
[7:02] proposals. With it, we could get enough
[7:04] gas to keep industry to keep jobs going
[7:07] for a long time to come.
[7:08] >> Mr. Krueger, the gas lobby,
[7:10] >> Congressman Robert Krueger of Texas.
[7:12] John,
[7:13] >> thank you.
[7:14] >> In Detroit, the Ford Motor Company
[7:16] defended the other committee that
[7:18] irritated the president yesterday, the
[7:19] Ways and Means Committee that refused to
[7:21] give cash rewards or rebates to people
[7:24] who would buy small cars.
[7:27] Well, I'm speaking just of the specific
[7:30] element of the energy program that dealt
[7:32] with taxes on automobiles. And I believe
[7:35] that the American people would suffer a
[7:37] great deal more if the rebates, which as
[7:41] I recall got only five votes on the
[7:43] committee had been approved. I think
[7:45] that would have led to the export of
[7:48] jobs to other countries or conversely to
[7:51] a violation of the GAT international
[7:54] trade arrangement. though I was very
[7:55] glad to see the rebates killed and I
[7:58] can't see how the American people can
[8:00] possibly suffer from that.
[8:02] >> The Senate voted today to give the car
[8:04] makers until 1980 to clean up exhaust
[8:07] fumes they were supposed to have cleaned
[8:09] up last year. The vote was 75 to7.
[8:14] There's other news tonight. Talk of
[8:15] storming that train in Holland, a city
[8:18] in Florida that flunked nearly 1if of
[8:20] its students this year. and John
[8:22] Chancellor on the Arab invasion of
[8:24] England and other things beginning
[8:26] shortly.
[8:33] >> When will it be done?
[8:35] >> Uh, how old are you?
[8:36] >> 12.
[8:36] >> 12.
[8:37] >> If everything goes right, it'll be done
[8:39] about the time you're both 20.
[8:41] >> Wow, that's 8 years. Do all power plants
[8:44] take that long to build?
[8:45] >> The big ones do.
[8:46] >> How big will this one be?
[8:47] >> Big enough to supply all the electricity
[8:49] for 200,000 people. Where will the
[8:52] people come from?
[8:53] >> From the seventh grade.
[8:54] >> You mean us?
[8:55] >> That's who they're building it for.
[8:56] >> My own power plant.
[8:58] >> Mine, too.
[9:01] >> Where? The world's fastest pitcher.
[9:04] Trying all night to be the world's
[9:06] fastest dancer and the world's fastest
[9:08] eater. Bird, I feel terrible. It's okay,
[9:11] kid. I'm going to teach you about fast
[9:13] relief. The plop plop fizz fizz. I'll
[9:17] cut out sir.
[9:19] This will help your upset stomach and
[9:20] aching head to get your fast ball
[9:23] working like this. We got ourselves a
[9:25] penance.
[9:27] This is fast.
[9:31] >> The B1 bomber, a $100 million airplane
[9:34] the Pentagon wants badly. Jimmy Carter
[9:36] campaigning for president, called it
[9:38] exotic and wasteful. But President
[9:41] Carter has not yet stopped that program.
[9:43] In fact, two members of Congress who
[9:45] went to see him today asking him to stop
[9:47] it came out wondering what he really
[9:49] thinks of the B1.
[9:52] Towards the end, President Carter said
[9:54] two things. He said first that his
[9:56] secretary of defense is in favor of the
[9:58] B1. I don't think that was publicly
[10:00] known before. And secondly, he hinted
[10:03] darkly or very cryptically at new
[10:05] information that's secret that might
[10:08] justify a decision. He didn't really
[10:10] commit himself, but he did indicate one
[10:12] other thing that if he
[10:16] makes an announcement, he'd be able to
[10:17] justify it to the American people. The
[10:19] uh president told us that he would make
[10:21] the decision by himself after listening
[10:23] to the pros and cons within the
[10:25] administration and within the Congress,
[10:28] but he gave us absolutely no clue today
[10:31] that that decision has been made.
[10:34] The president did say today he'll go
[10:36] into seclusion, think about the B1, and
[10:38] is inclined to make up his mind on it by
[10:40] the end of the month. In the Senate, a
[10:43] subcommittee recommended to spend more
[10:45] than a billion dollars to buy five of
[10:47] the bombers.
[10:49] In Kentucky, the state fire marshall
[10:51] thinks he knows how that murderous
[10:53] nightclub fire started two weeks ago.
[10:55] Here's Eric Burns.
[10:58] It broke out at the Beverly Hills Supper
[11:00] Club in Southgate, Kentucky 13 days ago,
[11:04] and it was one of the worst fires ever
[11:06] in this country.
[11:09] 161 people were killed. A nearby armory
[11:12] became a temporary morg.
[11:16] Today, Kentucky State Police
[11:17] Commissioner and Fire Marshal talked to
[11:20] reporters about their investigation.
[11:22] The investigation team has concluded
[11:26] that the aar
[11:29] originated in the concealed space of the
[11:31] zebra river.
[11:33] >> It started in electrical wires attached
[11:35] to the ceiling lights in this room. It
[11:37] burned for a while, then fed by ceiling
[11:40] tile and wood, it broke out of the zebra
[11:42] room and engulfed the cabaret room where
[11:45] more than 1,000 people were watching the
[11:47] show.
[11:49] The investigators said they don't know
[11:50] yet whether the building was up to the
[11:52] state's fire code. The code has changed
[11:55] in recent years and so did the building.
[11:57] So, it all depends on what the fire code
[11:59] was when different parts of the building
[12:01] were built or remodeled. And some of the
[12:04] plans for that building and remodeling
[12:07] seem to be missing.
[12:09] Investigators say it will be another
[12:11] month or two before they know whether
[12:12] there were violations of the fire code
[12:14] here and whom, if anyone, was
[12:17] responsible.

[12:21] Kentucky.
[12:22] In Costa Rica, the president there,
[12:24] Daniel Odubar, ordered the American
[12:26] financier, Robert Vesco, to get out of
[12:29] the country to keep him from dirtying
[12:31] Costa Rica's name, as he put it. Vesco
[12:34] is a fugitive from this country,
[12:36] indicted for giving $200,000 to Richard
[12:38] Nixon's last campaign illegally.
[12:42] Holland's premier says tonight that
[12:44] negotiations with the Malcolan gunman
[12:46] have failed. They still have 55 people
[12:49] captured on a train and in a school. And
[12:51] the Dutch government is hinting that the
[12:53] troops may storm the train.
[12:59] Tennis pro Rod Lever is wearing ordinary
[13:01] sunglass lenses, but his opponent Stan
[13:04] Smith is wearing sun sensor lenses. As
[13:06] it gets darker, Lever has to strain
[13:09] through his ordinary lenses to see
[13:11] Smith. But Smith's sun sensors have
[13:13] lightened automatically, so he can still
[13:15] see labor clearly. There's no sunglass
[13:18] strain, much to Smith's advantage.
[13:20] >> That's match, Rod.
[13:23] Now, let's play again, Stan.
[13:25] >> Also available in prescription lenses.
[13:29] >> Welcome, neighbor.
[13:30] >> Hi, Mr. Cholesterol here. Nice
[13:33] housewarming.
[13:34] I brought some spare ribs, pizza, butter
[13:37] noodles. Hey, Flashman's margarine. It's
[13:40] the only leading margarine made from
[13:42] 100% corn oil. It has no cholesterol.
[13:45] Zero.
[13:46] >> It's high in polyunsaturated and it
[13:48] tastes great.
[13:49] >> Flashman's margarine. Ideal for low
[13:51] cholesterol modified fat diets. 100%
[13:54] corn oil.
[13:55] >> 0% cholesterol.
[13:58] >> Jacksonville, Florida's flunking
[14:00] students right and left this year,
[14:02] including a lot of them who got good
[14:04] grades. Here's Fred Francis.
[14:08] The Jacksonville school system told
[14:10] almost 17% of its entire student
[14:12] population this week they had failed the
[14:15] school year and would not be promoted.
[14:18] The announcement meant that 18,000
[14:20] students would have to go to summer
[14:21] school. This happened because the school
[14:24] system gave some new test and the
[14:26] students failed. Parents were upset
[14:28] because many of their children were
[14:30] bringing home top grades all year.
[14:32] 10-year-old Tina Epley failed the test
[14:35] even though she made A's, B's, and only
[14:37] a few C's all year on her report card.
[14:40] Her parents were shocked because her
[14:42] 14-year-old brother, David, brought home
[14:44] rotten grades, but he passed the test
[14:46] and will be promoted. Mrs. Epley says
[14:49] something is terribly wrong.
[14:51] >> I asked I said, "How come my son can get
[14:55] such low grades and my daughter high
[14:58] grades?" and one be kept back and the
[15:03] one I wanted kept back be pushed
[15:06] forward. And they said, "Those are the
[15:08] laws. Those are the laws. There's
[15:10] nothing I can do about it."
[15:12] >> The school board said by getting tough,
[15:14] it is ending a long-standing policy of
[15:16] promoting children even though they
[15:18] don't meet state standards. But the
[15:20] teachers say the people of Jacksonville
[15:22] are being cheated because the real issue
[15:24] is crowded classrooms. And until the
[15:26] people force the school board to solve
[15:28] that financial problem, their children
[15:30] will not learn.
[15:31] >> Funds for one thing are not spent
[15:33] appropriately. We we think that uh the
[15:36] classroom needs and the teacher needs
[15:38] have been overlooked in the scheme of
[15:40] education in Duval County and we think
[15:43] this is a result.
[15:44] >> So the school board says it isn't to
[15:46] blame. The teachers say it isn't their
[15:49] fault and the parents express shock.
[15:51] Meanwhile, 18,000 kids will be going to
[15:53] summer school when they should be on
[15:55] vacation.
[15:57] Fred Francis, NBC News, Jacksonville.
[16:01] Smokers, you're going to hear from the
[16:03] government again. Joseph Calfano, the
[16:05] Secretary of Health, Education, and
[16:07] Welfare, wrote a letter to one of Ralph
[16:09] Nater's raiders saying his department is
[16:12] coming up with a detailed plan to help
[16:14] reduce smoking. And Califano promised
[16:17] vigorous action.
[16:21] And here's something else for your new
[16:23] apartment. Uncle Harry's rocker.
[16:26] >> What are we going to do with all this?
[16:28] >> Don't worry, we'll make it look just
[16:29] like new with Kryon spray paint.
[16:31] >> Kryon can paint wood, metal, almost
[16:33] anything. It even helps prevent rust.
[16:35] Watch Kryon versus the other leading
[16:37] national brand. Kryon's fast dry formula
[16:39] helps avoid runs and drips for a smooth,
[16:41] professional finish.
[16:43] >> Uncle Harry's rocker. It's beautiful.
[16:47] Kryon for the do-it-yourself
[16:48] professional finish.
[16:51] >> In 1962, when I got married, I didn't
[16:53] know anybody who really thought enough
[16:55] about taking good care of their health.
[16:57] And that included me. But ever since I
[16:59] started a family of my own, I changed my
[17:01] thinking. And that's why I try to get my
[17:04] rest and exercise and why I take Geratl
[17:07] every day.
[17:07] >> Geratl to be sure you get enough iron,
[17:10] more than twice the iron of any ordinary
[17:12] supplement, and some very important
[17:14] vitamins. Take a look at what Geratl can
[17:17] do for you.
[17:18] >> Geratl everyday
[17:21] >> in Texas. They are teaching policemen
[17:23] how to drive. Here is George Lewis.
[17:28] >> The police chase, a prime ingredient in
[17:30] many of today's films and TV shows. In
[17:33] this movie, Smokeoky and the Bandit, a
[17:35] Texas sheriff chases a couple all the
[17:37] way from Texirana to Atlanta with plenty
[17:40] of sirens, screeching tires, and the
[17:43] inevitable accidents.
[17:45] But according to one real Texas
[17:47] policeman, officers have no business
[17:49] driving the way they do in the movies
[17:51] and on television.
[17:52] >> Uh, if the average police officer in the
[17:55] street drove the way they do on the
[17:57] television programs, they would probably
[17:59] be fired the same day.
[18:00] >> Dick Turner is a member of the
[18:02] Hutchkins, Texas Police Department,
[18:04] holds PhD degrees in psychology and
[18:07] automotive design, and is a former stock
[18:09] car driver. He also runs a driving
[18:12] school for other policemen, teaching
[18:14] them the right way to pursue criminals.
[18:16] Turner claims more policemen are killed
[18:18] by cars than by guns.
[18:21] >> Automobile accidents are the number one
[18:23] killer of police officers and the number
[18:27] one injuring factor.
[18:28] >> At his police driving school, Turner
[18:31] teaches that speed is not as important
[18:33] as the smooth, well-coordinated handling
[18:35] of a car. Number one, slow hands.
[18:40] Because if we don't have slow hands, we
[18:42] don't have total control of the car.
[18:44] >> 600 police officers, mostly from Texas,
[18:46] have taken the 3-day course. They spend
[18:49] most of their time behind the wheel on
[18:51] this twisting, turning driving range
[18:53] near Dallas, learning how to keep their
[18:55] cars controlled, learning how to avoid
[18:58] accidents. Some policemen say the course
[19:00] has saved their lives and a lot of money
[19:02] their departments might have had to pay
[19:04] for wrecked cars. George Lewis, NBC
[19:07] News, Wilmer, Texas.
[19:10] >> This is the face of a chap who never
[19:11] knew defeat. Seattle Slooh, the
[19:14] racehorse who has the odds to win the
[19:16] last race in the Triple Crown tomorrow
[19:17] at Belmont in New York. If he wins,
[19:20] he'll be the 10th Triple Crown champion
[19:22] in racing history. And for what that
[19:23] would do for the horse, to say nothing
[19:25] of the owners, Dick Shap visited the
[19:28] last champion.
[19:30] Four years ago, before Seattle Slooh was
[19:32] born, another horse was on the brink of
[19:34] the Triple Crown. His name was
[19:36] Secretariat, and to many racing people,
[19:38] he was and is the greatest horse who
[19:41] ever lived. In 1973, Secretariat won the
[19:45] Belmont Stakes by an incredible 31
[19:47] lengths and became the first Triple
[19:49] Crown champion in 25 years. Soon
[19:52] afterward, Secretariat was syndicated
[19:54] for more than $6 million and sent to
[19:57] stand stud at Clayburn Farm in Paris,
[19:59] Kentucky.
[20:01] Secretariat has not yet proven himself
[20:03] as a sire. Of the 30 folds that resulted
[20:05] from his first season, only won his race
[20:08] so far as a 2-year-old without
[20:10] noticeable success. But financially, Big
[20:13] Red has flourished. One of his yearlings
[20:15] sold for a record million and a half
[20:17] dollars.
[20:21] >> Penny Ringquist, she was Penny Twe then,
[20:24] owned Secretariat when he was a
[20:25] three-year-old and still owns a share of
[20:27] him.
[20:28] >> Actually, I think he suffers from
[20:30] boredom and he he originally would play
[20:34] games with himself. He he would take a
[20:37] branch from a tree and toss it in the
[20:39] air and uh then go and get it just like
[20:42] a dog retrieving things. And now he's
[20:45] he's getting older and more mature and
[20:46] he has a a happy life.
[20:50] Oh, I got to see him three or four times
[20:51] a year. I'll go see him this July. And
[20:55] uh he still knew me, I was sure, the
[20:57] first couple of years, but now I think
[20:58] he belongs to the world. I'm just one
[21:00] more admiring voice.
[21:03] There is one absolutely safe bet
[21:05] tomorrow. Win or lose, Seattle Slooh can
[21:08] look forward eventually to the good
[21:10] life. Dick Shap, NBC News at Belmont
[21:14] Park, New York.
[21:16] >> The Army is giving the Congressional
[21:18] Medal of Honor back to Dr. Walker. Dr.
[21:21] Mary Walker, who was a surgeon and who
[21:23] won the medal in the Civil War. The Army
[21:25] took the medal away 60 years ago, saying
[21:28] there just wasn't enough proof she
[21:30] deserved it. Well, they found the proof
[21:32] apparently and will give it back to her.
[21:34] She died in 1919.

[23:10] In London, John Chancellor has seen his
[23:13] last fireworks, finished his last
[23:15] reports on the Queen's Jubilee, and was
[23:17] about to come home when he noticed a lot
[23:20] of other foreigners there.
[23:22] Once upon a time here in England, the
[23:24] American dollar was a very big thing.
[23:26] London was full of Americans spending
[23:28] lots of those dollars, and every once in
[23:30] a while, you could get from the British
[23:32] just the slightest hint of resentment
[23:35] about those rich Americans. Well, things
[23:38] have changed. A lot of dollars are being
[23:40] spent here, but the currencies that
[23:42] count now are dinars, rupes, and reals
[23:45] being spent by Arabs.
[23:51] Almond trees in Blossom, a good-sized
[23:54] house, and 54 acres of sculpture
[23:56] gardens. By British royal standards, the
[23:59] perfect country home. And that's what
[24:01] this place was for the Queen and Prince
[24:03] Philip in the first years of their
[24:04] marriage.
[24:06] Now, this estate near London has been
[24:08] sold off to an Arab buyer, Muhammad
[24:11] Makti Al Tajir. Throughout Britain, the
[24:14] British, needing cash, are selling many
[24:16] of their most splendid places, and the
[24:18] Arabs, having the cash, are buying them.
[24:22] This is particularly true in London. The
[24:25] regal old Dorchester Hotel has the Union
[24:27] Jack all over it, but it is now owned by
[24:30] an Arab syndicate.
[24:32] In the thinking of many influential
[24:33] Arabs, London is the big apple, more of
[24:37] a world capital than Paris or New York.
[24:40] So, Arabs who can afford it, and these
[24:42] days many can, are coming to London
[24:44] looking for ways to spend their money.
[24:47] Many Arabs and Arab governments are
[24:48] spending millions here on health care.
[24:52] This man, Khaled Almani, is the health
[24:55] minister of the small Arab state of
[24:56] Qatar. His country has only 200,000
[25:00] people, but so far 5,000 of them have
[25:03] come here for medical treatment, and the
[25:05] Qatar government has paid all the bills.
[25:11] When in London, Arabs go shopping. All
[25:14] the major stores now have salespeople
[25:16] who speak Arabic. Arabic gentlemen are
[25:19] known to buy gallons of expensive
[25:21] perfume at a time, especially those
[25:24] brands that can't be sold in Arab
[25:25] countries because the people who make
[25:27] them are considered to be pro-Zionist.
[25:31] More than half a million Arab tourists
[25:33] are expected to visit London during the
[25:34] silver jubilee celebration
[25:39] with minister.
[25:41] >> There will be special sightseeing buses
[25:43] for them and the hotels are going all
[25:45] out. One hotel even has put karu, whole
[25:50] sheep, a Persian Gulf specialty, on its
[25:53] room service menu.
[25:54] >> It's the house of London.
[25:57] >> The Arabs feel comfortable in London. So
[26:00] comfortable that they are now building a
[26:01] huge mosque right in the center of
[26:04] London. The mosque is the gift of the
[26:06] Saudi Arabian government. And for Middle
[26:09] Eastern sightseers, it is becoming a
[26:11] rival to Big Ben.
[26:19] Arab visitors come to the mosque site
[26:21] and offer prayers on the sidewalks
[26:23] nearby.
[26:31] Allah has been bountiful to enough
[26:33] Arabs, so they're changing the scene
[26:35] here. And that's resented by some of the
[26:36] natives. But when you think about it,
[26:38] London has seen a lot. Normans, Vikings,
[26:41] Romans, millions of Americans during the
[26:43] war. It's a city that absorbs cultures,
[26:46] and if the Arabs stay here long enough,
[26:48] a lot of them will end up wearing bowler
[26:50] hats. That concludes our coverage from
[26:52] London. We're going back to the hotel
[26:54] now and have room service bring up a
[26:56] whole sheet. But when we finished
[26:57] eating, we're heading home. Until
[26:59] Monday, good night from London for NBC
[27:01] News.
