Speaking from Tehran to the Ita lian television network RAI, Bani- Sadr said that if there were complica tions, the release of the captives could take two months. “There is a proposal on President Carter’s desk now which, if he accepts, can lead to the release of the hostages in 48 hours,” Bani-Sadr said. RAI quoted Bani-Sadr as saying Khomeini had approved the plan presented to Carter. Bani-Sadr said the release of the hostages depends not only on an in vestigation into the regime of the de posed Shah Mohammed Reza Pahla- vi but also on America’s guaran teeing Iran’s geopolitical and econo mic independence. “It all depends on the attitude of the United States,” he said. “If there is a positive response and action, if the conditions are met, we can act very quickly. “We depend on the United States for spare parts. They are essential for us,” Bani-Sadr said, although he did not specify whether spare parts sup plies for Iran’s American-equipped forces were part of the plan on Car ter’s desk. Iranian Foreign Minister Sadegh Ghotbzadeh said earlier that an agreement on the release of the hos tages would have to proceed “step by step.” “There are still doubts and hopes. I am hopeful.” Carter said in a televised news conference Wednesday night that “positive progress” has been made toward the release of the hostages and that Washington was ready to accept an “appropriate” internation al commission to resolve the situa tion. His announcement, coupled with a statement by Bani-Sadr that Khomeini has accepted a comprom ise plan on the hostages, sent hopes soaring that the 15-week occupation of the U.S. Embassy would soon end. Because details of any release for mula have been kept secret, it was not known if Khomeini and Carter were responding favorably to the same set of guidelines. But both leaders apparently hinged their acceptance of the plan on the work of an international commission. D n n Aggie Favorite CHICKEN FRIED STEAK DINNER FREE FRENCH FRIES ALL THIS WEEK...
