Senate panel to probe Reagan Contra aid votes
The Senate investigating committee will be formed next month as the 100th Congress opens. Eight of eleven members backed Reagan's plan to provide 100 million in military and other aid to the Nicaraguan Contra rebels in August, opposed by only Inouye Mitchell and Sarbanes. Inouye, a Democrat from Hawaii, rose to prominence on the Watergate panel thirteen years earlier.

Reagan seeks limited immunity for Poindexter and North
President Reagan urged the Senate Intelligence Committee to grant limited immunity to former White House aides Lt. Col. Oliver North and Vice Adm. John Poindexter to compel testimony on the Iran arms affair. The call drew little enthusiasm on Capitol Hill as lawmakers and legal experts argued immunity is premature. Regan testified for nearly five hours, portraying the president as a victim of poor advice amid arms sales to Iran and diversion of profits to Nicaraguan rebels.

Iran arms inquiry features immunity bid for North and Poindexter
President Reagan presses congressional panels to grant limited use immunity to former aides John Poindexter and Oliver North to secure testimony. Senate leaders split, with Leahy opposing and Durenberger urging cooperation. A new bipartisan Senate panel will study the Iran Contra affair. Regan denies any authorization to divert arms proceeds to the Contras. North’s 1985 refugee dinner netted modest aid but high consultant fees. In Tokyo, Japan says it secretly sent envoy to Iran and Syria to win hostages’ release in Lebanon.
