- Just what was in those notes that got CAP WEINBERGER
- indicted last month for committing perjury and obstructing the
- congressional investigation of Iran-contra? Since Weinberger's
- handwriting is virtually unreadable, the Iran-contra committee
- had to persuade his former secretary, Kay Leisz, to translate.
- One note supposedly read, "McFarlane called re price of HAWKS
- for Israel." Said another: "McFarlane called re HAWKS and TOWS
- for Israel." Both could refer to illegal arms transfers to Iran
- in 1985. Said a source who has reviewed some of the notes:
- "Jeez, it sure looks bad." But he adds optimistically, "There
- is substantial ambiguity."
