Secret State Dept says Iran talks in Algiers under review

Spokesman John H. Trattner said the Christopher team is drafting replies to Iran’s latest questions and will consult with Algerians before sending them to Tehran. The U.S. has offered to place frozen assets in an Algerian escrow and transfer billions to aid Iran after hostages are freed, while Iran seeks 24 billion dollars in deposits. The Algerians push for clearer plan explanations as the talks proceed and the Carter administration rejects the full 24 billion demand. A separate note mentions new school attendance rules for grades 9-12 taking effect next September, altering schedules for seniors nearing graduation.
