President Carter Speaks on Failed Hostage Rescue Mission

Unidentified elderly adult Caucasian male journalist asks question "Mr. President, you have noted that Iranian leaders joined in the desecration of the bodies of American servicemen." President Carter affirms "Yes, that's right." The reporter continues "Do you think that this will affect our negotiations to try to free the hostages and what effect do you think it will have?" President Carter responds "The man who supervised the desecration of the bodies was a member of the Revolutionary Council. I think it is accurate to say that other members of the Iranian Government did publicly condemn this abhorrent act and have now promised to deliver the American bodies to, intermediaries to be delivered ultimately back to our country. We hope that this commitment will be kept, and I pray that it will. But, the fact that the terrorists participated in the desecration is an indication of the kind of people they are and a vivid indication of the difficulties that we have experienced in getting what seems to be required---a unanimous decision by terrorists, the top officials, the Revolutionary Council, and the Ayatollah Khomeini---before this crime can be terminated."
