SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
The release of USMC LTC William (Rich) Higgins appears
scheduled to take place when a breakthrough occurs in. the peace
agreements between Iran and Iraq. LTC Higgins is currently
located about one third of a mile north of his former location
previously described as a Syrian headquarters. His current
location is identified at ENCLOSURE 1. The structure housing
Higgins is associated with elaborate designs, ornate objects
black and gold objects, vases etal, that one might assoc:iate with
Egyptian history.
Thomas Sutherland appeared readily accessible5 his current
location is indicated at ENCLOSURE 2. Notations of the name
"Abeah/Abehah/Abelah" phonetically surfaced as being associated
with Sutherland's current locai.on. He is aware of his
surroundings, aware of ongoing negotiations on behalf of the
hostages, and he listens to radio broadcasts. There appears to
be some sort of high visibility associated with Sutherland as if
he were the subject of ongoing negotiations. He remains
scheduled to be released subsequent to Higgins.
To all indications, Frank Reed, Edward Tracy and Jesse
Turner remain in the so called "military barracks."
Apparently search teams have been looking for Terry Waite
and Terry Anderson. They recently left the western edge of the
Beqaa Valley in a route of travel towards west Beirut. See

ENCLOSURE 3.
Robert Pohill remains in poor healthg he was described as
merely "inert" not doing anything or going anywhere at this time.
The status of AlanSteen and joseph Cicippio remains
unchanged; they appear to remain subject to the "dump" towards
friendly forces. The perception of the concepts of a go-between
and a substantial payoff to the captors remains strong. The name
of "Hyde" also phonetically surfaced to describe a 'German
counsel" who will affect the monetary payoff.
The names of "Weyland" and "Littleton" also phonetically
surfaced as recognized negotiators of importance in the current
hostage situation.
Israeli authorities are aware of the new location housing
the two Israeli hostages. Somehow "Weyland" is of some
assistance to them. The Israeli hostages will not be released
from captivity until all the other hostages have been released.
