Daniel Inouye (HI) speaks on visions of government at the end of the Iran Contra hearings. 1987
Senator Inouye explains there is an secret unelected government in DC accountable to no one.
A shadowy government with its own air force, its own navy, its own fund-raising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest
The hearings showed, in the words of Co-Chair Sen. Inouye, that "in America, as 200 years ago, the people still rule."
"In the final analysis, an effective foreign policy needs cooperation and commitment from both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue," concludes Rep. Cheney.
Sen. Rudman blames much of the affairs on the decisions of the National Security Council.
Co-Chair Rep. Hamilton states, "the Constitution is not a burden in the making of policy, but a source of strength."
