Meese memo centers on alleged pipeline bribery plan
Lawyers for Attorney General Edwin Meese II say there is no reason to assume he knew of any bribery plan involving Israeli Labor Party and Shimon Peres from a memo by E. Robert Wallach. The three-page document discussed funneling part of an Iraqi pipeline project’s funds to Labor and cited guarantees Israel would not bomb the pipeline. The memo, marked personal and confidential, is at the heart of a criminal inquiry into Meese’s knowledge and response. Peres, who later said he used a diplomatic channel to Meese, called for discretion and denied proposing any Labor Party payments.
