President Carter has intimated that an agreement with Iran was in the wings. but the delicate nature of the situation prevented him from publicizing its terms. The Senator from Kansas would not wish to jeopardize any hint of an agreement. if indeed an agreement there was. However. doubt clouds the issue and perplexity arises from the words of the Ayatollah Khomeini. who indicated that the decision regarding the fate of the refugees was up to the new parliament. and would therefore have to be postponed until it convenes in April. The conflicting signals being flashed across the international screen lead me to question whether we have been finessed by the Iranians in this terrible diplomatic game over the lives of our hostages. Can the leader of our once mighty Nation be so naive as to believe murmured halfpromises by the clique that "governs" the affairs of Iran?
