Sick's claims refuted by Iran
Officials deny intentional delay of 1980 hostage release

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) —
The Iranian diplomat who ne
gotiated the release of American
hostages in Tehran denies that
his country delayed the release
to help the candidacy of Ronald
Reagan in 1980, Iran's official
news agency reported Satur
day.
Behzad Nabavi was quoted
by the Islamic Republic News
Agency as saying that Iran had
tried but failed to resolve the
matter before the presidential
election in which Reagan de
feated the incumbent, Jimmy
Carter.
Nabavi said that negotiations
bogged down a month before
the election, because of fears on
the U.S. side that Iran's condi
tions for the release would be
come a campaign issue.
Gary Sick, who was on the
staff of Carter's National Secu
rity Council, charged in an
April 15 column in the New
York Times that Reagan cam
paign staffers made a deal with
the Iranians to hold up the hos
tages' release until after the
election.
Sick said the Reagan people
agreed to arrange arms ship
ments from Israel to Iran in re
turn for the delay. Arms sup
plies were critical to Iran during
its 1980-88 war with Iraq.
All those involved in the Rea
gan campaign, including Presi
dent Busn, nave denied any ef
fort was made to delay the
hostages' release.
The hostages were taken in
November 1979 after followers
of Ayatollah Ruhollah Kho
meini stormed the U.S. Em
bassy in Tehran. Concern over
their plight dominated the rest
of Carter's presidency. Some
were re leased in the early days
of the crisis, but most were not
released until the day Reagan
took office on Jan. 20,1981.
The United States released
some Iranian assets in return.
Nabavi, who headed the Ira
nian negotiating commission,
was quoted as saying that Iran
had made no attempt to help ei
ther Carter or Reagan.
He said Iran wanted to free
the hostages in October after
the Majlis, Iran's parliament,
set a series of conditions. He
said the U.S. election delayed
the release because Iran's pro
posals were "not dealt with ef
fectively" by the American side
out of fear they would become
an election issue.
"We were after mechanisms
so that we would be able to
financial guarantees from
United States before the release
of the spies (the hostages) and
our proposal led to a month
long halt in negotiations," Na
bavi was quotedas saying.
Sick claimed the deal to delay
the release was arranged in
meetings between William Ca
sey, then Reagan's campaign
manager and later director of
the CIA, and leading Iranian
clerics, including Mehdi Kar-
rubi, now speaker of the Majlis.
Nabavi told IRNA that "Mr.
Karrubi played no role in the
negotiations."

Pro-drug Stanford lecturer may lose job
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Stanford Uni
versity lecturer Stuart Reges has flaunted
his drug use since last fall when he told the
campus newspaper his favorite was an am
phetamine derivative nicknamed "the love
drug."
No one seemed to care until Reges wrote
U.S. drug czar Bob Martinez, saying he car
ries illegal drugs in his backpack "to make
fools" of those heading the war on drugs.
He also confessed to advising a student it
was safe to try MDA, known as "the love
drug," because it produces euphoria.
"I wanted to make Martinez mad; I guess
I wanted him to go after me," Reges said.
And he got his wish when Martinez wrote
school administrators this month, pressur
ing them to get rid of Reges or lose federal
funds.
An investigation of the popular senior lec
turer in computer science, a boyish 32-year-
old, non-tenured faculty member, is under
way. The dean of engineering will make a
recommendation to Stanford's provost.
Reges, who says he has never taught
while on drugs, has become the focus of a
debate about free speech and personal free
dom vs. government efforts to stop drug
use on campuses.
"It's certainly foolish behavior on the part
of Stuart Reges to personally provoke this,
but it's also a legitimate issue — whether
the war on drugs has gone too far," said
Phillip Johnson, a criminal law professor at
the University of California at Berkeley.
The campus anti-drug rules began last fall
after the government threatened to pull
funds from schools that don't have anti
drug policies. Stanford got more than $120
million in federal funds last year, nearly 30
percent of its operating budget.
Under the regulations, teachers can be
fired and students expelled or disciplined if
they make, distribute, possess or use illegal
drugs on campus.
"That's just simply blackmail," Reges
said. "The government has no business us
ing universities to conduct their ridiculous
war on drugs. This is supposed to be a place
of free thinking, free speech and personal
freedom."
But Martinez, the former Florida gover
nor named by President Bush as head of the
National Drug Control Policy Office, told
Stanford President Donald Kennedy in an
April 12 letter that "pro-drug" teachers like
Reges cannot be tolerated.
When Kennedy saw the letter a week
later, he ordered Reges placed on paid ad
ministrative leave after 12 years at Stanford
—11 as a lecturer and one as a graduate stu
dent.
"Privileged intellectuals who argue in
support of what is in fact an industiy based
upon exploitation are, I think, morally diso
riented," Kennedy wrote to the Stanford
Daily after the paper editorialized against
him.
In 1989, he presented himself for arrest at
two Virginia police stations, saying he had
violated state laws against sodomy. They re
fused to charge him.
