It is vital to all the nations of the world "that the lives of di plomatic personnel and other citizens abroad be protected and that we refuse to permit the use of terrorism and the seizure and the holding of hostages to impose political demands/' Carter said “No one should underes timate the resolve of the Amer ican government and the American people in this mat ter," Carter said His decision apparently oovers both oil bought directly from Iran and refined products bought from third countries If so. it amounts to 700.000 bar rels a day — 3 5 to 4 percent of total U S. oil consumption.
