were made regarding
the remaining
US
hostages..
Terry Anderson
remains the most
hated
of
the hostages;
he
is physically very
weak
and vulnerable.
Anderson
will
be released
in August
(about
28 August
as previously reported.
Although there are
a number
of
factors affecting
the release
of
Higgins,
his anticipated date
of
release
is
mid June
1988.
Edward Tracy
(the writer
from Vermont
living
in
Beirut)
will
be released
on
or
about
12 August
1-788.
Thomas Sutherland
(Agriculture Dean,
University
of
Beirut),
will
be released
on
or
about
30 June
1988.
Jesse Turner
(Math
Instructor,
University
of
Beirut)
is active against
the hostages
in
a manner
much
like Terry Waite;
Turner
has
lost
a
lot
of
weight.
His status
is tenuous.
There was
no projected date for
the release for
Turner.
Frank
Herbs
Reed
(Director,
Lebanese
International
School,
a quiet
man
by nature,
has remained
qu.i.et
and
inconspicuous;
this
is working
to his advantage.
His release
is projected
for
30 June
.1. 9o8.
