Mr. Speaker. last week I wrote the President. urging him to take firm action with regard to Iran. I suggested deportation of Iranian students. expulsion of the Iranian Embassy. and termination of all trade relationships with Iran. pending the release of the Americans held in our Embassy in Tehran. Today I want to reiterate my strong feeling that we must not bow to the personal vendetta of a fanatic who has directed a calculated affront against the people of the United States. The safety of our people being held hostage must be our first concern. but we must also give clear notice to the Ayatollah Khomeini that we intend to deal with him firmly.
