A classified report covering projected arms sales for 1988, sent to Congress Feb. 25, also said that the United States plans to equip Egypt's six Soviet-built submarines with U.S. torpedoes and radar. Egypt also would be sold an unspecified number of M-60 tanks, while Pakistan would get P-3 Orion submarine-hunting aircraft.

The United States agreed to sell Egypt $3.2 billion worth of new American weapons--24 F-16 fighter jets, 200 M-1A1 tanks and 32 Patriot missiles. Defense Secretary William S. Cohen announced the proposed sale, which is likely to be approved by Congress, after separate talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Defense Minister Hussein Tantawi in Cairo. It was the latest of several arms offers by Cohen to Arab allies while on a nine-nation trip to the Gulf and Middle East.
