cynical disregard for the lives of the hostages and world peace.
"In the face of growing attempts by increase families and their supporters to release them from the release of their loved ones, the administration initiated a campaign of in-
"A state department official warned some families that 'there comes a point where the lives of your loved ones are no longer a top priority.'
Mrs. Barbara Timm was threatened with long imprisonment and a heavy fine for visiting her hostage son and entering into talks to normalize the crisis.
*Arrangements by Forer for the visit of three hostage families were opposed by a government ban on travel, delays, lies, threats and insults. Their other harasses against interrelated families.
"The administration did this despite a announcement that the bastage family had already arranged previously arranged proposal which offered strong promise for a rapid and peaceful solution."
"We call on the American people and their congressional representatives to demand of the president that the visit by the Graves and Fuer be allowed to go forward as planned.
"We ask this in the name of reason and decency, in the name of the honeysons whose secret is a thousand times the uncounted thousands who may soon die or be mutilated in a senseless and horrific manner."
"We ask this in the name of our great nation, and in the name of God."
Graves and Forer said they had "every reason to believe" their peace proposal would be effective.
According to local members of Forer's committee, the peace proposal was presented to President Jimmy Carter earlier this week by the Rev. Jack Bremer, a minister from Lawrence, who was in Ukraine for delegation from the United Methodist Church.
Although Bremer was not representing the committee members when he met with Carter, he carried the proposal on their behalf.
The peace proposal includes a proposed message "from the hearts of the American people to the hearts of the Iranian people."
In the message, which the committee plans to have retained by the people of both Iraq and Syria, the Iranian people to acknowledge their illegal seizure of the American embassy and security.
It also asks the American people to acknowledge the "illegal role of the U.S. government, CIA, and corporate entities" in the hacking of American government and in training the Iranian secret police

Forer's son, Robert, said the message of reconciliation had been circulated in the past several days among church groups. He said the group was successful in setting support for the church.
"Both the Iranian students and government were aware of the peace proposal," Forer's son said.
He suggested that if his father and the Graves tried to fly out of another country the State department could ask that country extradite him, but he extraordained them back to the United States.
Robert Forer has his father and the Graves family of Virginia was "still hoping to make the trip," but he expressed concern about it. He said the attempt to prevent them from return to Iran
The message of reconciliation, which is included in the peace proposal the group planned to carry to Iran, is:
"Are not the American and Iranian peoples children of the same God? Are our grevences so irreconcilable that war must ensue? The human family is wary of war. If nations would acknowledge the obvious importance of each other, then war could be averted.
"We ask the Iranian people to acknowledge our obvious and just greavenges: the illegal seizure of our emirates, the attack on our community; the victimization of our fellow countrymen by holding their hostage to a foreign policy not of their own making; their disengagement from loved ones; the concern and outrage of our people; and the insult to our national honor. As testimony to your friendship for the Iranians, we request that you return the hostages to their rightful home."
"To the Iranian people, we acknowledge your obvious and just grievances; the illegal rule of the U.S. government, CIA, and the state; to our own people, you republic; the imposition and twenty-five year support of the Shah; the organization and training of the secret service; the natural resources, economy, and culture; and the implication in policies and events which enriched the life, impoverished many and led to the torture, maiming, imprisonment, and killing of thousands of innocent Iranian people. As testimony to our friendship for the Iranian people, we repudiate and will resist any attempt by the Shah or impede his extradition and trial.
"Shall we permit the evasiveness of one man—accused of mass murder—to be the cause of an impending war?"
"The American and Iranian people join in defense of each other's national independence, honor, and freedom from the oppression of their enemies. We join in friendship and peace."
But Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin's office said Israel "knew nothing about the action and has no connection whatsoever with it."
Iran . . .
French and Italian Foreign Ministry officials said they had not been informed in advance of the U.S. rescue effort, and none of the other U.S. allies were either.
From page one
The Syrian government radio said that Egypt and Israel cooperated in what it called an "act of overt aggression" and "American piracy."
The Danish Foreign Ministry said the abortive mission “has created a new situation” which would be discussed at the summit with a summit meeting next week. There was no indication plans to adopt trade sanctions against Iran next month unless there was progress toward release of the hostages might be affected. In his address to the nation, Carter shouldered full responsibility for both the attempted mission and the decision to abort it.
"It was my decision to attempt the rescue operation was my decision when it happened, I placed it in our rescue team for a future rescue operation. The responsibility is fully my responsibility."
--was even more important now that the rescue mission had failed. He pledged to "pursue every avenue" to secure the save release of the hostages.
Carter called the effort "humanitarian," and declared: "Our rescue team knew, as knew, that the operation was certain to be safe and was certain to be dangerous. We were prepared." The rescue operation had been commenced, that the rescue operation had been excellent of success."
"This rescue attempt had to await my judgment that the Iranian authorities could not or would not resist this crisis on their behalf, and with the steady unraveling of authority in the mounting dangers that were posed to the safety of the hostages themselves and the growing situation that their early release would not commence the rescue operations plans."
Carter said he was forced to abort the mission when the rescue helicopters developed "equipment failures." He did not elaborate but expressed "deep regret" over death of eight American crewmen in the desert aircrash crash of a C-130 and a helicopter.
He said the action was not directed at Iranian citizens, but declared he holds the government of Iran "fully responsible" for the safety and well-being of the hostages.
Carter said the rescue was conceived when the hostages first were seized Nov. 4, and constantly refined as the administration developed its response to then economic sanctions to force their release.
When he determined the "early release was highly unlikely, I made a decision to commence the rescue operation ... this was a necessity and a duty."
Appealing to the American people and U.S. allies alike, Carter said their support
The War Powers Act, approved on Nov. 7, 1973, grew out of the Vietnam War. It states that no president may go to war or commit aggression against any nation without Congress in the decision-making process.
Med Center builder suing
There is a check in the office of Louis County District Court Judge Ralph King for $42M made out to Evans Electrical Company by the State of Kansas.
EVANS SAID that poorly drawn and engineered blueprints for the Med Center's Basic Science Facility cost them $350,000. The costs were paid and that they were not satisfied.
But Evans' president Robert Johnson has not cashed it for more than two years and may never do so.
The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee was getting edgy yesterday about the possibility the president would be forced to resign. The Frank Church, D-Idaho, and the ranking Republican member, Sen. Jacob Jawbs of New York, wroteSecretary of State Cyrus Vance to President Obama with Congress, in accordance with the War Powers Act," in order to ensure that any such decision, if made, is a national decision carried into by the president and Congress."
"It's as if you had a $5,000 medical bill resulting from a car accident and you were
The check is an arbitration award from the state of Kansas for increased costs resulting from a construction project begin at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
The check was submitted as evidence to King by Evans in a lawsuit charging the king over allegations that he the Med Center with "bad faith" arbitration. King heard closing arguments in the trial.

The Evans case began in 1973 when HEW offered $4.5 million to build the Med Center's Basic Science Facility along with 12 of its existing buildings. The Kansas Legislature and a $1,120,000 gift.
Evans said that as a result of hurried architectural plans and political patronage, his company has been penalized and the state was "unjustly enriched."
BUT WITH THE HEW grant there was a catch. Construction plans and bids had to be completed by the end of 1973 for them to be eligible for the money.
The contract for architectural work was given to Marshall and Bidrow-Sidowicz. Marshall and Brown is a Kansas City, Mo. architecture firm that joined with Evans alleged connections because, Evans alleged, Sidowicz had "connections" in the state government.
Ground was broken in March 1974, and by July, Evans said, the plans drawn up by Marshall and Brown-Sidorowicz were proving unworkable.
Sidowiru pleaded guilty to making an illegal campaign contribution to the 1972 gubernational campaign of Robert Docking, Swoboda said.
Evans signed a contract Dec. 20, 1973 to perform the electrical construction work on the Med Center's latest addition.
"This has to be the most frustrating job 1
have ever worked on," reported state construction supervisor Jim Wheatley in a letter dated July 30, 1974. "But then these specimens are very special the word 'worst'见所未 specified."
THE THREE CONTRACTORS involved in project Fevans, Trugo-Nichols and Inno, the architect, request that Kruger, the state architect, to request that the project be shut down for a reworking of the building.
Kreuer assured them that their cost overruns would be paid by the state, Evans said, and asked them to continue work on the project.
The attorney for the state, Bill North, said that Krueger made no such agreement with the contractors.
Evans Electric requested $330,000 from the arbitration board. They received $24,342.
The three contractors finished construction on the facility in 1976 and each faced for arbitration to recover cost overruns. Thomas requested $43,000 from the firm but was拒绝了他们 rented them $260,000. Truchs-Nicolls asked for $200,000 and $141,000 was given to them.
Evans alleged that the state attorney general's office contacted one of the arbitrators three times during the arbitration proceedings. He tainting tampering with the arbitration indictment.
