Reagan Promises Jackson Support For Hostages
State Department counterterrorism chief says the Reagan administration is willing to back Rev. Jesse Jackson's efforts to secure the release of Americans held hostage in Lebanon by Islamic extremists. Jackson proposed traveling to Kuwait Lebanon and possibly Tehran if helpful as discussions continued at the State Department with Jackson family members and Ambassador Robert Oakley. Vice President Bush said hostages are a high priority and declined to promise negotiation with terrorists, while Jackson urged an alternate approach to White House policy.
