...says there has been no pressure on him to resign his overseeing commission. He adds, however, that friends of his in organizations like Amnesty International would prefer that no one work with Iran.

Americans I think without being crusaders can bring moral pressure to bear in a way that maybe others won't be able to. But they will not be effective if they are simplistic."

Mayer said he had good relations with Nixon, but he sometimes had problems with Haldeman and Erlichman, who feared the cost of new food programs. Anytime they bothered him, however, Mayer went over their heads to the president. "When the president would make brave speeches, Haldeman and Erlichman always saw them as rhetorical ploys--Nixon said it, but he didn't mean it," said Mayer.
