However. I recognize that as long as the hostages remain in Iran. our actions must show restraint and discipline. I firmly believe that a thorough investigation into the status of each Iranian national in this country on a student visa is within the bounds of restraint and discipline and is a legal and proper act. The Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Justice Department should step up their investigation into foreign students and any of those found in violation of their student visas should be immediately deported. I applaud the Presidents action freezing Iranian assets held in American banks as yet another indication of American resolve on this matter. While we must at this time rely on moral persuasion to secure the safe release of the hostages.
