Another question is why Meese did not list the trust on the financial disclosure form he filed in 1981 among the sources from which he received more than $5,000 (he did identify the foundation, which paid him $14,085).

Most Democrats in Congress, however, believe U.S. sponsorship of the insurgency is wrong, more trouble than it is worth, or both. Just an hour after the House approved the Salvadoran arms money, it voted to pinch off all funding for the contras...
