Tower board to contradict Reagan on Iran
The Tower Commission will report that the United States sold arms to Iran to win hostages' release, despite Reagan statements, but it could not determine how profits funded Nicaraguan rebels. The panel led by former Sen. Tower will present findings at 10 a.m. and hold a 11 a.m. news conference. Senator Specter criticized CIA director nominee Gates as part of a cover up in the Iran Contra affair. A former U.S. official said Oliver North erred in urging leniency for Honduran Gen. Jose Bueso Rosa, tied to a 1984 assassination plot against the Honduran president.

North was the centerpiece of a scheme that raised millions from conservative donors to aid the Contras, with funds possibly diverted by unnamed intermediaries before reaching the rebels. The witness, Jane E. McLaughlin, said she worked for Carl R. Spitz Channell from 1986 to early this year and offered to assist federal authorities after suspecting wrongdoing.
