	Multinational Oil Corporations and US Foreign Policy
		Nevertheless, throughout the 1930's the Aramco parents were unable to convince the Roosevelt Administration of the potential strategic importance of their Saudi Arabian concession to the United States.
		Aramco's continuous appeals for direct US aid raised serious problems since Congress had only authorized Lend Lease assistance for "democratic allies." The solution President Roosevelt finally arrived at was to have the British divert a portion of their $400 million US Lend Lease loan to help King Saud stabilize his country.
		The fact that Aramco was free to force entry into the markets of the established international majors was not overlooked by Socal, whose studies indicated that Arabian crude oil could compete very effectively in the European and U.S. East Coast markets once the Trans-Arabian pipeline was built.

	Review of Oil, God, and Gold: The Story of Aramco and the Saudi Kings
		Much about the company's history is curious: when Ibn Sa`ud had the momentous document granting ARAMCO its concession in May 1933 read out loud, he fell asleep, only to wake up at the conclusion.
		The low point of this tale takes place during the Arab-Israeli war of 1973, when Aramco officials, under severe pressure from the Saudi authorities, became out-and-out spokesmen of the Arab cause against Israel, quite ready to sacrifice American interests (not to speak of the Jewish state) for the sake of their precious oil concession.
		The moral bankruptcy of ARAMCO's position lost it the good will of many Americans, without either winning a change in U.S. policy or a slowdown in the Saudi takeover of the company - an event which finally occurred in 1988.
