A. I just assume that he did. I think at one time he
did say that he talked to his friend at DEA. Drugs was a
concern because of what we talked about earlier with Hull,
because of the poor reflection it would have on the
resistance.
My notes or my memos to him talked about narcotics
and he was concerned about it, again because of the image
problem and because it did damage.
Q. In your contracts with John Hull and with contra
leaders, including Calero, what was their attitude about
these stories about drug trafficking?
A. When I talked to Calero about it, he was concerned.
