Members of the United States Congress have expressed concern over the Administration\'s apparent intention of selling ground-to-ground missiles to Egypt. AP reports that the Congressmen in question are worried that the sale may destroy the delicate balance of power in the Middle East. Congressman Tom Lantos said that Egypt faces no danger from without, and that he sees no particular reason to sell them the missiles. A sale of over 50 rockets is being considered.
