SARAH MCCLENDON: I BELIEVE GUNTHER RUSSBACHER

The following information about Lee Hamiltion is from SARAH MCCLENDON'S WASHINGTON REPORT October 20, 1992.

"...Congressman Hyde elicited and obtained a promise from Chairman Lee Hamilton, D., Ind. of the House Task Force on October Surprise, that the group would clear President George Bush of going to Paris to cinch a deal of weapons for Iran in exchange for retaining American hostages to be delivered to President Ronald Reagan and not to outgoing President Jimmy Carter.

"Hyde says he made no such a deal and I must remember that Hamilton is a Democrat. That makes no difference. Hamilton held a press conference to clear Bush before the investigation into the deal between the Reagan-Bush candidates for presidential office and the Iranians, had even started. Hamilton then admitted he had not interrogated witnesses or talked with his special attorney hired to Investigate the matter. Hyde was questioned about other obstructionis tactics in the House as a Republican leader on behalf of Bush administrations cover-up but denies all. "

Lee Hamilton is in the business of covering up scandals. I did not know this when I wrote the following letter. At the time I wrote the letter, Lee Hamilton was the Head of the October Surprise Taskforce which had been given the mandate to investigate the allegations that the Reagan Campaign had made a deal with Iran to delay the release of the 52 hostages that had been held over a year. The delay of the release of the hostages made Jimmy Carter look like a weak president and Ronald Reagan won the election.
