Shah bids farewell after U.S. visit amid protests
Washington UPI reports the shah of Iran ended a demonstration scarred tour of the United States. He and Empress left for Paris aboard an Iran Air Force jet, after a crowd at Andrews cheered and protesters voiced opposition. Talks with President Carter centered on arms and oil price stability, with U.S. hinting at serious consideration of 140 F-1 fighters. The shah pledged to help keep oil prices down at the upcoming OPEC meeting and praised Carter, while noting possible arms sources if U.S. approval stalls.
