WASHINGTON — The adminis-
|ion. with the blessing of a federal
als court, has resumed its check
re visas of thousands of Iranian
lents and has extended the re-
rting deadline until Dec. 29.
But the Immigration and Naturali-
ion Service has pledged not to de-
irtany Iranians found to be in viola-
of their visas unless the U.S.
luit Court of Appeals for the Dis
ci of Columbia rules the selective
Ikdown is legal.
le court, mindful of the prom-
id hold on deportations, issued a
Friday of a lower court ruling
[ing further review of the stu-
s’ visas.

from Congress to require more than
70,000 Iranian students to prove
within 30 days they are in school.
Judge Green ruled the reporting
program violates the equal protec
tion clause of the Constitution.
The ruling, on two class action
lawsuits filed by civil rights groups,
was issued three days before the re
porting period was to expire. Shortly
after the court made its announce
ment, Justice Department spokes
man John Russell said Civiletti had
extended the reporting period for
two weeks, until Dec. 29.
Civiletti and acting Immigration
Commissioner David Crosland
promptly huddled to draft revised
reporting regulations to be pub
lished in the Federal Register.
“In view of the representation of
the attorney general that he will ex
tend the reporting period, the order
of the district court on appeal hear in
is stayed pending further order of
this court/' the special appeals panel
ruled.
President Carter ordered the de
portation of all Iranians found to be
in the United States illegally on Nov.
10, six days after more than 60 Amer
icans were taken hostage in Iran.
Nine Iranians already have been
deported since Civiletti’s Nov. 13
decree.

ENVER — Banning the export
bod to Iran in response to the
ling of American hostages at the
1. embassy in Tehran would be a
mgnant move, the director of
rnational Legal Studies at the
Iversity of Denver said Sunday,
'ed Vanda, in a speech to the In-
lational Federation of Business
Professional Women, said it
Id be logical for the United
tes to impose economic sanctions

s should not include a fbod
rargo. 11 Jm-'ii.i/.
The use of food as a weapon is
(rally repugnant, ethically un
stable and politically unwise,”
Vanda said. “The use of food as a
weapon would be contrary to inter
national law — in particular, the
evolving human rights law.”
Vanda cited the thousands of
starving Cambodian refugees
streaming into Thailand as an exam
ple of the cruelty of using food as a
weapon of war.
Vanda also predicted the United
States would survive the Iranian cri
sis with a better image in the world.
“The world community views the
United States not as a weak country
