...role in the Iran-contra affair, his standard reply is that he has said all there is to say. In fact, Bush has said little on the subject -- and much of what he has said is not true. A newly released memo by former Secretary of State George Shultz directly disputes a key Bush claim: that he had no idea Shultz and former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger had bitterly opposed arms deals with Iran. "It's on the record," says the 1987 memo, which recaps an angry telephone call Weinberger made to Shultz after Bush told the Washington Post...
...year investigation into the scandal and thus leave a number of key questions unanswered. The special prosecutor favors closing out the inquiry before it becomes a partisan issue in the presidential campaign. But Craig Gillen, Walsh's deputy, wants to pursue allegations that former Secretary of State George Shultz was regularly briefed by a top aide on secret intelligence material about hostage negotiations.

"I want there to be no holdovers left. The whole goddam bunch go out . . . and if ((George Shultz)) doesn't do it, he's out as ((Treasury)) Secretary." Nixon returns to his purge later: "You're out, you're out, you're finished, you're done, done, finished. Knocked the hell out of there." And these are his own people...
...Reagan and Bush administrations have helped too. Former Secretary of State George Shultz raised the issue repeatedly. James Baker and most of his senior deputies have done the same. During a meeting in California in April, President George Bush told Prime Minister Toshiki Kaifu that the end of the gulf war "might be an opportunity for Japan to have closer relations with Israel." Kaifu agreed, adding that the Arab boycott was "undesirable." Vice President Dan Quayle, who met with Kaifu in Tokyo last week, pressed for more steps in the right direction...
