Seeing Laingen as an important liaison for possible future negotiations with Washington and anxious to shore up his own authority, Ghotbzadeh shrewdly referred the matter to Khomeini. Despite the entreaties of a student delegation that visited Qum, Khomeini maintained his silence-thereby tacitly backing his Foreign Minister and the Revolutionary Council, which had originally decided to "harbor" Laingen and two U.S. aides.
