Weinberger Defies Iran Arms Sale Pressure at Hearings
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger testified he opposed arming Iran even after Reagan decided to proceed but followed orders to make weapons available. He cited being kept in the dark on major details and a directive from the NSC to withhold information. Regan said no pardons were discussed with the president, who stated no laws were broken as hearings closed after 11 weeks of televised testimony on the Iran Contra affair.
