Prime Minister Rajai indicated Iran may accept a paper apology from the United States as a humanitarian gesture, while leaving open the possibility that parliament could demand an apology as a condition. He noted U.S. involvement in Iran’s affairs since the 1953 coup and suggested timing and statements differ from Tehran. A State Department official urged caution in reading too much into the conference remarks.

Oil price links to consumer costs cited in report
The report says oil price changes affect consumer costs. Overcharges on stripper oil rose to $30 per barrel and misclassified oil volumes grew from 100,000 to 400,000 barrels daily between early 1979 and mid-1980. Subcommittee staff estimate about $1 billion defrauded in 1979, with 1980 midyear totals surpassing that amount. Eckhardt commented on the findings.
