I Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000400090001-8 WORKING PAPER 8808 079 4 OCT 88 S: 34 SUMMARY OF INFORMATION USMC LTC Willian (Rich) Higgins will be among the first to be released from captivity during the period of 5 to 29 October 1988. Past efforts by the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), Perez de Cuellar, to obtain the release of Higgins based on the latter's affiliation with the UN, have been a source of disappointment to the Secretary General. LTC Higgins remains quartered at the Syrian headquarters located immediately north of the Beirut International Airport. The sequential order of release of the hostages remains substantially unchanged. The last hostages to be released will be Sutherland, Waite and Terry Anderson, in that order. The Tunisian/Indian name of "Culdenara" denotes and implies that representatives of many countries provide (actively) unsolicited political efforts as well as financial contributions that facilitate the release of the hostages, particularly Higgins. The name "Dabawhwa" is associated with the concept of "supplies Higgins. " (Repeated attempts to clarify this statement were unsuccessful ) . An Israeli of political stature and significance with the name "Heowitz" (phonetic) obtains information of a confidential nature that assists in the ultimate release of Higgins.
