MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR SCIENTIFIC
AND TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: SUN STREAK REPORT (U)
I. (S/NF/SK) On 26 January 1988, during the course of a Utility
Assessment conducted against Terry Waite as a target personality,
Viewer 079 provided substantially the following information:
a. (S/NF/SK) Viewer 079 perceived Terry Waite as currently
being near an old temple currently not in use and
located three kilometers south of Beirut. Shiite moslems were
responsibli for the Zb
e -_-audtion(of Waite. The temple is located
along an old alley and a purple cloth hung as a veil is
identifiable with the temple. A cross bearing gold and white
stones is also perceptible (See Enclosure 1). Despite his status
as a hostage, Waite continues to negotiate from within for the
release of the other hc,,,,-tages. His captors consider Waite a
political lever of significant influence. Viewer 079 anticipates
that barring the unforeseen, hostage negotiations will take place
in May 1988. Terry Waite along with two other hostages, will be
returned to neutral territory in August 1988. Rudolf Cordes,
German national who is also being held as a hostage, will be
released in June 1988. Information provided by Cordes will be
instrumental in the release of Waite and the other two hostages.
Terry Anderson, the American national being held hostage, will be
the last of the captives to be released. Anderson will be
released in late August 1988, subsequent to Waite's release from
captivity.
