Secret Kennedy effort on Iran hostages told
In December 1979 Senator Edward Kennedy sent former Senator James Abourezk on a secret Tehran trip to win the release of 52 Americans held in Iran. Abourezk said he risked his life and career as Kennedy’s bid for the Democratic nomination faltered amid the hostage crisis. Kennedy confirmed the account through a spokesman and the disclosure came in a letter criticizing Joseph Kennedy for returning Abourezk’s $100 campaign contribution.
