US Presidency

What I do think should be done, once they are safely here with their families and that tragedy is over'and we've endured this humiliation for just lacking 1 week of a year now'then, I think, it is time for us to have a complete investigation as to the diplomatic efforts that were made in the beginning, why they have been there so long, and when they come home, what did we have to do in order to bring that about, what arrangements were made? And I would suggest that Congress should hold such an investigation. In the meantime, I am going to continue praying that they'll come home. MR. SMITH. Follow up question. Ms. WALTERS. Well, I would like to say that neither candidate answered specifically the question of a specific policy for dealing with terrorism, but I will ask Governor Reagan a different followup question. You have suggested that there would be no Iranian crisis had you been President, because we would have given firmer support to the Shah.
