Carter and Kennedy trade blasts over Iran crisis and elections
President Carter denounces Senator Kennedy as inaccurate in claims that the White House rejected a commission of inquiry on Iran until Kennedy proposed it. The exchange comes amid debates on hostages, a possible Olympic boycott, and U.S. policy toward Afghanistan. Carter calls for an international approach but resists specifics while pledging to resume campaigning once hostages are freed.
