Mr. Speaker. the people of this Nation are outraged at the spectacle of Americans being held hostage in Iran in an effort to blackmail the United States. We should make it absolutely clear that if any of the hostages are harmed. every Iranian citizen residing in the United States will be Immediately deported. Further. every Iranian student who is in violation of his visa or who participates in any antiAmerican activity should be thrown out of the United States immediately. The Shah should be granted asylum in the United States. We cannot allow a group of fanatics to kidnap and blackmail Americans into turning over their allies to an execution squad.
