- Mary, I'm glad you wrote this. It moved me to get more details on the
- story in preparation for making some phone calls to the State Department,
- and possibly to the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia.
-
- Fortunately, I found out that it won't be necessary. The Philippine
- Embassy informs me that the Philippine government was able to successfully
- negotiate the release of the Philippine missionaries, who will be deported
- to the Philippines within the next few days. I am also informed that the
- reports carried on a number of major radio and TV networks that one of them
- had been sentenced to death were incorrect.
