One of the positive side effects of rising Arab oil prices
is that it will curb energy us3 in the United States, a repre- .
sentativs of the Saudi Arabian ministry say Tuesday.
Terek Shawaf told an informal gathering' of UNL ,
business students that his country welcomes President
Carter's energy policy and is happy with Carter's conserva
tion plans. ' , , -
The Saudi Arabian consultantrengineer was in Lincoln
several hours Tuesday as pirt of a mission directed by the"
Saudi Arabian king end prime minister, according to Ron
Alexander, coordinator of ShswaPs visit.
Saudi Arabian businessmen, university professors and
government officials are touring the United States to in
crease American awareness of Saudi Arabia and to encour
age business and personal contacts with the Arab world.
Shawaf is founder of the largest construction engineering .
.. firm in Saudi Arabia, employing about 200 Arabs.
Shawaf said Saudi Arabia would prefer to conserve its
op supply, keeping as much oil as possible underground'
for use in the 1980s. - .;

"We -are producing 12 million barrels of oil a day,
which we do not need," the former member of the Saudi

Ministry, of Agriculture and Water said. . ,
' "Three and one-half million barrels a day is enough to
carry out our development plan, but we are overproducing
to meet Western demands," Shawaf said. "We really don't
- need the money," ,
Shswaf described Saudi Arabia's $150 billion, five-year
.development plan,-financed largely through oil-producing
revenue., '
The major" thrust 'of the development plan Is educa
tional improvement, Shawaf said, with 14 per cent of the
pirn's budget earmnked for education.
"Hie urgency to build schools is so much that we have .
to build from prefabricated elements,'.' he said, estimating
about one school is constructed every two or three days. '
. "Eventually these"' will be replaced with permanent'
structures."' . 'v
University campuses .
Part of the education budget will finance construction
of five university campuses, Shawaf said.
"Naturally we cannot staff our university from Saudi
Arabia," Shawaf said, explaining the country recruits
internationally for faculty members.
"There are 5,500 Saudi Arabian students in the U.S.,"
he said. "From these people we will eventually get the
faculty for our universities." '
Another important sector of the development plan is
devoted to the Ministry of Agriculture and Water, Shawaf
said. He joined, the Saudi Arabian government in 1965 as a
. technical adviser to this ministry
"We have one of the most ambitious desalinization .
(taking the salt from ocean water) programs in the world
today,"- he said. The desalinization plants produce water -
for industrial complexes, as well as providing water for
power, cheap electricity and commercial use, he added.
Shawaf said Midwestern. American concern over
dwindling water supplies can be compared to the situation
in Saudi Arabia. He said rainfall has been scarce, and the
country relies heavily on the ocean water processed by the
desalinization plants.'
In a Question and answer period after his talk, Shawaf
discussed UJS.-Arab oil policy.
' The Arab oil embargo has been distorted in the United
States, he said.
"We believe this is strictly an internal matter for the
U.S. to look into," he said, stressing the issue has no racial
or religious ties.
"It is up to the American people and businessmen to
take issue on the matter (oil prices) with their senators,"
Shawaf said.
, Shawaf explained that rising oil prices are caused by
worldwide price increases.
"As the inflation index rises in the West, we have to
pay more and more for service," he said.
"The Shah of Iran says oil prices should continue to
rise as long as inflation continues to rise," Shawaf said,
adding he thinks this creates a vicious circle which the
media distorts. .
During his Lincoln visit, Shawa met with Gov. J.
James Exon and state planning directors. He was made an
honorary citizen "with the privilege of paying taxes if 1.
want to," he said.
After a noon banquet with members of the Lincoln
Chamber of Commerce, Shawaf met with Lincoln Mayor
Helen Boosalis. -
