Secretary Caspar Weinberger was questioned further about his opposition to arms sales to Iran. Secretary Weinberger says that the transfer of U.S. arms by Israel, without official U.S. permission, was a violation of U.S. law. He also says it went against Operation Staunch, the administration’s effort to convince other counties not to sell arms to Iran or Iraq.

Representative Dick Cheney, the ranking minority member of the House committee, and Senator Warren Rudman, the Republican vice-chairman of the Senate committee, as well as committee chairmen Lee Hamilton and Daniel Inouye, make statements. close
