Reagan era arms for Iran secret sale under Senate probe
McFarlane told the Senate Intelligence Committee Reagan gave advance approval to the 1985 arms sale to Iran via Israel. Meese said the president was told generally about shipments after they occurred in September 1985. Speakes disputed North’s private-briefing claim and noted few Oval Office meetings. GAO found over half of $27 million in aid to Contra rebels untraceable, with $80,000 on false receipts. Reagan rejected a special congressional session as leaders sought expedited investigations. Senate panel continued hearings into the matter.
