April 14, 1989: A congressional
subcommittee on Narcotics, Law Enforcement, and Foreign Policy, chaired
by Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), finds that US efforts to combat drug trafficking
were undermined by the Reagan administration's fear of jeopardizing its
objectives in the Nicaraguan civil war. The report concludes that
the administration ignored evidence of drug trafficking by the Contras
and continued to provide them with aid.
