White House Agrees to Turn Over 3 Years of Reagan’s Diaries
Congressional investigators have reached an agreement with the White House to see excerpts from nearly three years of President Reagan’s diaries related to the Iran- contra affair, it was announced today.
“I have confidence we will see those items that are relevant to our investigation. We have a good agreement here,” said Rep. Dick Cheney (R-Wyo.), the ranking Republican on the panel, of the White House agreement.
Under the terms of that agreement, White House counsel Arthur Culvahouse will review Reagan’s diaries from Jan. 1, 1984, through Dec. 19, 1986, looking for entries that mention Nicaragua, Iran and related matters, Cheney said.
Culvahouse, with Reagan’s authorization, will have the relevant excerpts typed, and they will be made available to leaders of the congressional committees to inspect at the White House.
