Congressional committees investigating the Iran–Contra affair : ウィキペディア英語版 | Congressional committees investigating the Iran–Contra affair
The congressional committees investigating the Iran-Contra affair were committees of the United States House of Representatives and of the United States Senate formed in January 1987 to investigate the Iran–Contra affair. The committees held joint hearings and issued a joint report. The hearings ran from 5 May 1987 to 6 August 1987, and the report was published in November, with a dissenting Minority Report signed by six Republican Congressmen and two Republican Senators.〔Brown University, ("The Minority Report" )〕 ==Process== The Committees were constituted in January 1987, and agreed a deadline for the investigation of 7 August, when Congress was due to adjourn, with several more months to prepare the final report.〔Seymour Hersh, (The Iran-Contra Committees: Did They Protect Reagan?" ), ''New York Times'', 29 April 1990.〕 According to a participant in the meetings, the Senate committee decided early on not to pursue the President, not only because he was too old and lacked the mental ability to fully understand what happened, and had too little time left in office, but because the Senators "honestly thought that the country didn't need another Watergate. They were urgently hoping to avoid a crisis."〔 The hearings ran from 5 May 1987 to 6 August 1987.〔Brown University, (Hearings Timeline )〕 During the hearings Rep. Henry Hyde defended Oliver North and John Poindexter lying to Congress.
