In a briefing with Guatemala's President Cerezo, Reagan said he was told by Fahd of increased Saudi funding to the Contras and that he did not solicit it. The remarks align with Robert McFarlane's Senate testimony on Iran Contra, where McFarlane defended prior actions and faced questioning over document shredding linked to arms deals.
