Hostage situation ‘tenuous’
but Carter remains hopeful
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Carter is hopeful there will be posi
tive developments in the Iran hos
tage crisis, but the situation is “still a
tenuous one,” Rep. John Brademas
warned after meeting with Carter
Wednesday.
“I think it’s a mistake to think it’s
all wrapped up,” the Indiana law
maker told reporters after he and
other Democratic congressional
leaders had breakfast with Carter at
the White House.
“The thing I came out of the dis
cussion with is that we re simply
hopeful,” Brademas told reporters
later. “The situation is a tenuous
one. I think it’s a mistake to think it’s
all wrapped up.”
“We re very hopeful there will be
positive developments.”
Brademas said he agreed with
Carter’s position that the United
States should not publicly apologize
to Iran for an intervention in that
country’s affairs during the regime of
the shah.
“I think the major focus should be
on effecting the release of the hos
tages,” he said.
