THEY DIDNT want me to friendship and hospitality of the Iranian people. They met many of the people and were even invited to an Iranian wedding, in which the celebration lasted for three days. Mr. Daniels said that his challenge was to take the findings of the USU research station near Karadj to the people of Iran. FOR THE first six months I worked with the Ministry of Agriculture there and eight research stations, the agent said. I found that the Iranians who worked for the research stations were paid a salary regardless of how much they. did, so nothing was done! One man said, Why should I do it?

He said the Nomads roam more than 600 miles in their yearly operations, living in tents. They raise sheep, and although they are forbidden to have goats many of the tribes still have them. THE THING the people in these tribes wanted the most ar was friendship, Mr. Daniels explained. They can tell if you are going to be friendly. If you are their friend, you can do anything. I am sure that many of the friends I made while I was there have been killed, because the Ayatollah Khomeini has had more than 600 of the people killed who were close to the Shah.
