Excerpt from Report of the Congressional Committees Investigating the Iran-Contra Affair: Appendix C, Chronology of Events The House Select Committee took several steps to make this document something ofa roadmap to guide students through iran-contra and to encourage further study of this historic time. Each entry is dated in a way that readers can easily determine the timeframe. When the date could not be pinpointed precisely. That fact is indicated. Each item is labeled to indicate at a glance to which facet of iran-contra the entry relates. The entries include Presidential statements and Congressional actions. This format helps to demonstrate the interaction and the meshing of iran-contra events; the interplay and maneuvering of private agents and Federal Government officials who were secretly selling arms to terrorist Iran to free American hostages - contrary to u.s. Public policy - and secretly diverting money from the sale to buy weapons for the Contras - also contrary to public policy and perhaps in violation ofthe law. It weaves together what was being said and done publicly and being said and done privately by this group of Government officials and private agents.
