He was famed as a broker of arms between US firms and the Saudi Government most active in the 1960s and 1970s. Among his overseas clients were defence contractors Lockheed Corporation (now Lockheed Martin Corporation), Raytheon, Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation and Northrop Corporation (which have now merged into Northrop Grumman).
