Discuss Jet Sales to Greece WASHINGTON (UPI) The State Department, confirming that President Nixon has waived congressional suspension military aid to Greece, said Friday that the United States discussing the possible sale of Phantom F4 fighter-bombers to the Athens military regime. Department spokesman Charles W. Bray said Greece was considering purchase of the Phantom or possibly the cheaper Mirage jet fighter from France. A U.S. negotiating team led by Defense Department officials has met with Greek authorities in Athens, he said.

Far From Certain Although a Phantom sale is far from certain at this point, Bray said, the United States exploring various ways a sale to Greece might be financed, possibly through military sales credits or guarantees. The department confirmed UPI report that on Feb. 17, the day he left for China, the Presi dent cited the Soviet naval buildup in the eastern Mediterranean in lifting a ban on military aid to Greece, a southrn NATO. ally, which had been written into the foreign aid bill Nixon signed days earlier. National Security Issue The law authorized Nixon waive the Greek aid ban if required by "overriding requirements of the national security of the United States." Bray confirmed that David Abshire, assistant secretary state for congressional relations, forwarded to the Speaker of the House and interested congressional committees a memorandum from Secretary of State William P.

Rogers to Nixon and the presidential determination permitting resumption of military aid to Greece. Under the foreign aid bill, military aid to Greece in the current fiscal year ending June 30 would have to be held about $71 million, the same el as last year, compared to the administration request for $118 million.

Space Shuttle Costs Asked "It's been a financial success from the start," said Robert Edgar, Amtrak's western regional representative, this week as he arranged to add an additional coach for the next trip. Amtrak, a government agency that took over the nation's deteriorating railroad passenger system, inaugurated the Fun Train on Feb. 4.

It offers a package Vote on Market Seen WASHINGTON (AP) Dr. Ralph E. Lapp says the proposed "space shuttle" program may well cost up to $66 billion -more than the Apollo man-onthe moon project. And he suggests that the space agency has so far failed to make clear what the total cost of the venture might be. The privately employed Wasington nuclear physicist and student of space affairs says the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been talking mostly about chances of a spaceshuttle system affording "cheaper space transportation" to launch payloads into orbitrather than also bringing out the costs of the payloads themI selves.
