Senate aide Daniel Inouye said questions will focus on Reagan’s knowledge of diverting proceeds from arms sales to Iran to aid the Contras. Some senators warned of a risky precedent despite the breakthrough.

Ex CIA lawyer testifies on Iran arms aid and Reagan finding
Former CIA general counsel Stanley Sporkin testified that CIA teams began aiding missile shipments to Iran before he drafted a key finding asserting Reagan had approved. He said he did not know if the president approved orally. Congress eyed contempt over North testimony as deadlines loomed.
