Calero to testify next at North trial
Rep. Lee Hamilton testified there was no reason to doubt Oliver North's denials of aiding the Nicaraguan Contras in 1985 and 1986 while North directed an aid network. He said he learned no administration official told him the Reagan White House secretly sought Contra help from other nations and private citizens. Calero, a Contra leader, was set to testify about $4,000 in traveler’s checks North allegedly used as a personal piggy bank amid 12 felony counts in the Iran Contra case.
