On ABC's "This Week with

D-Ga., said the situation raised
serious questions about who made
the foreign policy decisions.
Witt is 5 feet $ 5 \frac{1}{2} $ inches tall. She weighs 110 pounds and her measurements are 36-24-36.
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, also on ABC, said, negotiating for the hostages made it more likely other hostages would be kidnapped.
Her body still moves like that of a 20-year-old - on the proper surface, of course.
"It took me 60 years to get that way," Witt said.
Tending cattle, horses and dogs hasn't forced Witt to totally abandon her interest or even forget her training.

Although she hasn't had many recent opportunities to display her talents, Witt said, she is just as enthusiastic about belly dancing now as when she started 12 years ago.

"I haven't really been pushing dancing because I've been tied up with other things to do," she said. "Last summer, I turned a couple (opportunities) down because I was too busy."
Witt was born in 1926, 10 miles from Dayton, Tenn. She moved with her parents soon afterward to Chattanooga, Tenn.
She is the youngest in a family of six. But none of them were as enthusiastic as she was about dancing, Witt said.
"There, you're in the Bible Belt. And everything you do, you'll go to hell for, and belly dancing sure will get you there quick," she said.
Her interest in Beledi, the proper term before the concept entered the United States and changed to belly dancing, did not begin in Tennessee, she said.
Thirty-five years ago, Witt took a trip to Kansas City, Mo., where she met her husband. They moved to Lawrence and have lived here for 23 years.
"It looked really fun and exciting," she said. "I thought it was really neat. It looked like they were getting good exercise.
Witt said she first saw belly dancing on a morning television show about 20 years ago.
"I had never seen a belly dancer before I started taking lessons."
She was so excited that she decided right then that she wanted to try it.
She read an ad in a newspaper about a Jewish center in Kansas City, Mo., that gave lessons on belly dancing. But because of a conflict between when the classes were offered and her work, Witt had to put lessons off temporarily.
In 1974, she joined the Flamingo Dance
