There- arc thirteen hostages, mostly foraiyn (nan-US) nationals being held in the barracko surraundud by tho Syrian troops in the southern portion of Beirut. Rudolf Cordes, the German national hostage will bo one of the first to be released in the near term. The impression (however incongruous) persists that Franfc Werbt/rt Read (Director of the Lebanese International School) Hill be rolat trie same time and in the company of Cordes. Theronounced reluctance to release any US hostages. In an area known as "Ash Shuwayfat" reportedly located southwest of the military barracks surrounded by the Syrian troops are the US hostages, Joiaph Cicippio and Alann Steen (who have been very difficult to access! previously). The captors will attempt to move so.ne of the US hostages under the cover of darkness. Cicippio and Steen are hidden under "deep cover." Neither Terry Waite nor Terri Anderson will be found in the barracks. Tney are at another location. It goes without saying that USMC LTC Higgins la not there either; in fact, Higgins has not Seen with any of the other hostages from the time he was taken captive. Eitner Cicippio of Steen is currently bound by the feet; his face is in the dirt, he Is wearing black shoes with (something) silver in the shoes. He is In fcKtrwmely poor condition. Every effort should be made to negotiate and rescue him ao well aa Robert Polhill who is experiencing some form of bodily chemical (non-drug induced) imbalance. It is anticipated that Polhill will be
released with the secondC Higgins
will De released from captivity sometime soon after the release o' Cordes. At this time Higgins Ic located atite known as "As Sarafand". Ho arrived there via Ftazra an Nabl Ca<>im and Al Khar ib. He is moved intereittently and sporadically between A; Sarafand and the area bounded by Reservoir ite known as Anan, econd unnamed reservoir located about I kilometer northwest of Reservoir See attached copy of partial map with highlighted areas at ENCLOSURE^ Higgins release is assured by the pocket of pressure exercised by the Israelis from the south and by the (Syrian?) activity to the north. This facet (anticipated release) of the tho hostage situation will take place in the very near future (late June and early July).
