Nancy taking it easy she picked up some kind of throat virus in England. Weather was supposed to be rain & thunder storms. Actually after some morning showers Sat. it turned out alright. Sat. good word one of our hostages Father Jenco was released in Lebanon & turned over to the Syrians. Now on Sunday he’s in W. Germany on his way home. The Hisballah sent a video tape out with him on which one of the remaining hostages—Jacobson dressed me & our govt. down for, as he put it not lifting a finger to try & get their freedom.
This release of Jenco is a delayed step in a plan we’ve been working on for months. It gives us hope the rest of the plan will take place. We’d about given up on this.
We’re back in the W.H.
