In an emotional homecoming speech in which his voice broke at several points, the former president expressed joy that the hostages had been freed and deep gratitude to the Algerian envoys who acted as the gobetween in negotiations for their freedom. "It is impossible for me to realize, or any of us, how they feel on that plane because they recognize that they are hostages no more," Carter told several thousand well-wishers gathered in Plains for a welcome home celebration. "They are prisoners no more and they are coming back to this land that we all love." The Algerians for the last few weeks have been real heroes," he said. "They have literally worked day and night, from their president, their foreign minister, the president of their national bank and others to try to gain the freedom of the American hostages. "I'd like to express my personal, and also my political, official and public thanks to the people of Algeria," he said. Carter said he planned to fly to Germany to greet the hostages. He said he already had dispatched former Secretary of Slate Cyrus Vance to be on hand when the hostages step from their plane in West Germany for OA .

"Throughout this time of trial, we Americans have stood as one, united in our prayers, steadfast in our concern for our fellow Americans in peril," he said, adding that he doubted more prayers ever had been offered for Americans in danger abroad. Carter also expressed joy that the hostages freedom was secured on terms that "will always preserve the honor and the dignity and the best interests of our nation."

The former president said he was grateful for the welcome he received in Plains, where a sea of several thousand well-wishers were on hand for his triumphant return home. Carter said coming back to Georgia is "a happy experience for me and I thank God for it." Darkness at the Tehran airport caused a one day late delay in the hostages' departure, due to blackout conditions imposed as a result of Iran's war with Iraq. Runway lights were eventually turned on for the flight from captivity. Working overnight Monday in the Oval Office with Vice President Walter F. Mondale and two longtime confidants, Charles * Kirbo and Hamilton Jordan, Carter bartered final contract terms Tuesday and then ordered the return of Iran's frozen assets - triggering the hostages' release after 444 days' of agonizing imprisonment.

In Wiesbaden, American officials were ready to examine and debrief the hostages during a decompression period that would delay the hnmppnmino A tr?n m frnm Washington, including former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, departed for Wiesbaden from Washington to handle the first official reception. It was shortly after 3 a.m. EST when Iran and the United States resolved an 11-hour disagreement that delayed the hostages' freedom onk more day. Immediately, Carter set in motion the transfer of billions of dollars of Iranian assets. The assets, frozen by Carter following the Nov. 4, 1979 hostagetaking, were shifted into an escrow account in London for return to Tehran. This was the last step required of Carter for the hostages' release, "At 6:47 this morning, the president was notified by Secretary of the Treasury William Miller that the frozen Iranian assets had been transferred to the escrow account of the Algerian Central Bank at the Bank of England," Powell said Tuesday. "This step completely fulfills all steps agreed to by the United States prior to the release of the hostages." All that remained was for Algerian intermediaries to officially notify Iran, Powell said. That was accomplished at 8:17 a.m. EST, according to Powell. i plans vents it of the day the Americans were Jaycee held.
