Former Secretary of State George Shultz told a congressional panel he warned the president about illegal diversions that confused U S Nicaragua policy. He said he would cooperate fully with the investigation, denied asking Brunei for funds, and defended Reagan as a freedom fighter while stressing ongoing efforts to reveal facts. He spoke amid a tour to Europe and a meeting with Zaire president Mobutu.
