Iranians Plan Boycott of U.N. Council Meeting
Iran's government, amid two days of large anti American protests, said it would boycott the U N Security Council session on the U S Embassy seizure. A top official suggested the shah might be allowed to depart the United States but did not guarantee any immediate outcome. The decree branded the Council a U S tool and stated Iran would not participate, while hostages and potential asylum offers loomed in the background. A million protesters packed Tehran to protest the United States and call for action.

Carter Cleared to End Taiwan Pact Unilaterally
An appeals court ruled that President Carter has the authority to terminate the US Taiwan mutual defense treaty without wider Congressional consent.
