INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999
(House of Representatives - May 07, 1998)
Congressional Record (07 May 1998)
Without even a passing glance from the mainstream press, new confirmation of CIA involvement in drug trafficking was inserted into the public record by Maxine Waters. Waters included with her testimony an exchange of letters from 1982 between CIA Director William Casey and Attorney General William French Smith which appears to demonstrate Casey's knowledge of drug trafficking by CIA assets and his desire to keep this knowledge away from legal scrutiny.
- Remarks of Rep. Conyers
