Boeing seeks OK to sell 12 civilian aircraft to Libya

The Boeing Company wants permission from the Reagan administration to sell $ 600 million worth of passenger jets to Libya, a company spokesman said.

Peter Bush, the chief Boeing spokesman, said the company wants to sell Libya a dozen aircraft, including a huge 747; two or three of the new twin-engine 767 s; and up to five smaller, twin-engine 737s.

Muammar Qaddafi that the planes will not be used for military purposes.
