A Scalero jump a both told Lugar that i Lorango was Active a says a Jan. 9, 1986, entry. But Lugar has a no recollection of being told such information said his press Secretary David Shapiro.

Meanwhile the White House declined to make any substantive comment about a newly disclosed entry suggesting that North met with then vice president George Bush on aug. 6, 1986, the Day Bush returned from a trip to the Middle East. The apparent North Bush meeting occurred a few hours after North lied to the House intelligence committee by denying he was offering military advice to the contras. Rep.
