You also wanted to know how many of these employ- ees were readily ascertainable as Jewish or female. Finally, you r~quested informr'tion on any agreements between American Government agencies and private firms. U.S. GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES Current As of August 5, 1976, U.S. Government personnel working in caudi Arabia on military or military-related projects totaled 631--315 military and 316 civilian. (See app. I.) Mos-: of th .- employees train the Saudi Arabian air force, administer the security assistance program, provide design and construction management services, or oversee technical training provided by private U.S. companies. Of the 631 U.S. Government employees, 64 were female. We were unable to readily determine the number of Jewish eni- ployees because U.S. Government agencies and civilian firms do not collect such information; however, U.S. Government officials in Saudi Arabia told us that a number of Americans employed incountry by the U.S. Government and by American civilian firms are Jewish.
