The United States plans to sell South Korea $238 million worth of jet fighters, aircraft spare parts and air-to-air missiles, the Reagan Administration told Congress. The equipment is not considered controversial, and the sale is expected to become official in 30 days unless Congress objects. The package includes 12 F-4C Vietnam War-era jets with electronic-countermeasures equipment to help protect them in battle, the Pentagon said. The jets would be sold for $138 million and would be supplied from U.S. Air National Guard stocks.
