Bush Keeps Doors Open to Iran Amid Hostage Talks
President Bush says he is open to talking with Iran to free American hostages yet rejects any exchange that would put others at risk. Indirect talks with Iran are reportedly to begin soon, while Shamir presses coordinated action to free hostages and Israeli prisoners. Bush also calls for nationwide prayers and reassures no shift in standing policy against negotiating with terrorists.
