I would like to take this opportunity to once again ask the State Department to explore every possible diplomatic initiative which might result in the release of Reverend Weir and the six other Americans held in Lebanon. We cannot let these men be forgotten.* g Mr. BROWN of Colorado. Mr. Speaker. I rise this evening to commend our colleague from California for asking for this special order to focus the attention of this body of the continuing plight of seven innocent Americans still held hostage in Lebanon. This situation has special meaning for me since one of these prisoners. Dr. Thomas Sutherland. is a personal acquaintance as well as being one of my constituents. Born in Scotland and a naturalized U.S. citizen. Tom is 54 years old. He and his wife.
