Part of Perot 15-man squad then led the engineers on a 450-mile journey to the Turkish frontier where they crossed the border to freedom, Perot said. Threader of the patrol was retired Green Beret Col. Arthur "Bull" Simon 60, who in 1970 led an Army mission to the outskirts of Hanoi in an unsuccessful attempt to rescue American prisoners of war in North Vietnam.

The other squad members were EDS employees with prior military experience all volunteers. Perot said Perot's story could not be independently confirmed, and the State Department said in Washington it knew only that the two men had been jailed in Iran at one time. Perot who graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and built a billion-dollar computer business after training as an IBM salesman, left many questions unanswered, including how they traveled and crossed the border and how much money was paid. "I'm not going to get into details for obvious reasons," he said.

Gaylord and Chiapparoni, both 39, were jailed for seven weeks, apparently in connection with allegations of official corruption involving a contract won by Perot's computer firm. Perot said the escape plan was activated only after he failed to negotiate a $12.75 million ransom he said was demanded by the Iranian government. "Our first preference was to pay the ransom, but our efforts to pay it failed because the banking system in Iran no longer functioned," Perot said. "We then arranged with revolutionary leaders in Iran to have the prison mobbed." He would not say how much money the riot cost, but he said it was paid in U.S. currency.

"The American dollar is not as strong as it used to be, but it is still the best thing in the world to get you out of trouble," Perot said. Perot said the prison guards dropped their weapons and scattered during the rescue operation. "Paul and Bill climbed the walls and fled through intense gunfire for about two miles to a designated hotel for a rendezvous." There, they met members of the EDS squad, he said, but Simon learned the revolutionaries had tracked them and ordered the hotel evacuated.
