I m not sure i understand it All he said. I m still1 confused. It s easy to throw darts. I d first like to understand How it really happened who controlled  the disclosure of Perot s attempt to Ransom hos tages comes Al a time when president Reagan has emphasized on Many occasions that he would not negotiate with or pay Ransom to those responsible for abducting or holding hostages. Daniel Howard a while House spokesman said monday night that the National Security Council say that they knew nothing about any Tuch arrangement involving Perot. He added if it happened it was certainty unauthorized Perot said he most recently spoke to North last Spring in an Effort to gain release of five hostages in Lebanon. Perot said that at North s request he delivered $2 million by courier to Cyprus. The Money was supposed to be exchanged for the hostages but the Deal was unsuccessful. Peri said the $2 million was kept in the posses Sion of one of my people at colonel North s request he was always  with Money Perot said. He specifically wanted one of my people in control the Money with the Exchange and make a pickup at  Perot said he did not know nor did he ask North Why the Deal fell through. Perot said he first met North after he joined the president foreign intelligence advisory Board in Early 1982. Perot said his first request from North came soon after they met in 1982. He said the colonel and a senior general Al the Pentagon whose name he  remember communicated with him about trying to obtain the release of army Brig. Gen.

In All the cases he said he offered to put up the Money but never agreed to release it unless hostages would be  these things Are collect on delivery he said. You Don l throw Money out there unless Yon produced  Perot s activities to win release of hostages in the last five years Are not big Only efforts for the govern ment. He said Bis behind the scenes activities began in 1969, when he worked for the Ninon administration to by to improve the treatment of prisoner of War i Vietnam. Ten years later when two employees of Hii company were held captive in Iran Perot hired team to release them an Effort that was chronicled in Ken Follett Book on wings of eagles the disclosure monday of his Laott recent Aktiv Liei will Likely put an end to i secret Ransom offers according 10 Perot.
