+<ent type='ORG'>WBAI</ent> Pacifica Radio <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent>
+Interview with <ent type='PERSON'>Mark Swaney</ent>
+By: Paul DeRienzo.</p>
+
+<div>--------------------------------</div>
+
+<p><ent type='ORG'>WBAI</ent> radio interview with <ent type='PERSON'>Mark Swaney</ent> from "Faithful <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>"
+a citizens group, speaking of <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent>'s and <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent>'s
+connection with the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> covert drug smuggling operation in
+<ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> in support of the <ent type='NORP'>Contras</ent>.
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+. . . . [they] set up a front company in <ent type='GPE'>Guadalahara Mexico</ent>.
+The purpose of which, he was told, was to smuggle weapons to
+the <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>'s in <ent type='LOC'>Central America</ent>. And he was to be the front man
+-- he was to provide the front cover for this company, but he
+was given to know that behind the scenes they [the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>] would
+be using this company to smuggle weapons. So he was ok with
+that and he went down to Guadalahara and was down there until
+the summer of '87 --actually the plane was shot down in '86
+so this operation in <ent type='GPE'>Mexico</ent> continued for a year after the
+<ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> story was breaking and that's something that a
+lot of people don't know --they think that <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>/<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>
+Resupply stopped when the revelations were made in '86, but
+they actually continued.
+
+Anyway in the summer of '87, even as the hearings were going
+on in <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Terry Reed</ent> began to suspect they were using
+his front company for something other than smuggling weapons.
+And one day he was looking for a lathe in one of his warehouses
+by the airport there in Guadalahara and he went in and opened
+up an air freight shipping container (which are very large,
+they're about 28 feet long, 7 feet high, 8 feet wide), and he
+found it packed full of <ent type='ORG'>Cocaine</ent> when he opened it up. He immediately
+realized he was in a very precarious situation because he was
+the only one on paper who had anything to do with that company,
+and if they had ever gotten caught -- there was nobody to stand
+up and say well this guy didn't know anything -- he was going
+to be a <ent type='PERSON'>patsy</ent> if anything went wrong. So he decided he wasn't
+going to play the part of the <ent type='PERSON'>patsy</ent>. The man who was his contact
+man for the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> in <ent type='GPE'>Mexico</ent> was <ent type='PERSON'>Felix Rodrigez</ent>. So he confronted
+<ent type='PERSON'>Felix Rodrigez</ent> and said well listen I didn't bargain on getting
+into Narcotics smuggling and I'm outa this all together guys
+-- I'm leaving now -- I refuse to have anything further to do
+with this. And <ent type='PERSON'>Felix Rodrigez</ent> said ok fine if you want to be
+out your out. Now before he was able to return even to Little
+Rock <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> where his home was at the time, Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>'s
+Chief of Security, a man named <ent type='PERSON'>Raymond Buddy Young</ent>, and
+another man <ent type='PERSON'>Tommy Baker</ent>, <ent type='ORG'>Private Investigator</ent> and I'm told
+former member of the <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> State Police, were framing
+<ent type='PERSON'>Terry Reid</ent> for mail fraud. What this involved was the so
+called project donation that Oliver <ent type='PERSON'>North</ent> had set up. Terry
+Reid's plane had been stolen a number of years earlier
+-- and used in drug missions and such without his knowledge
+-- and he claimed the insurance money for his plane being stolen
+-- and so to set him up what they did was took the airplane
+and put it back in his hangar before he got back to <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>.
+Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>'s Chief of Security just supposedly happened
+--and this is what he tells the press -- he say's "one day I
+just happened to be walking by this hangar, and the wind just
+happened to blow the door open and I just happened to look in
+and see this airplane that was stolen four years earlier in
+another state and I realized -that was the plane." And so this
+is how the case got started.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+How would he have known that was the plane?
+
+MARK SWANEY: </p>
+
+<p>Oh that's never been explained. Along with a number of aspects
+in this famous story. We're in contact with <ent type='PERSON'>Terry Reid</ent>'s defense
+attorney in <ent type='PERSON'>Witchita</ent> and she's promised to send us all of the
+documents --we have some of the documents already that indicate
+--he was found not guilty --well he never went to trial.
+
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:</p>
+
+<p>Is that the same <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> by the way who's head of Governor
+<ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>'s security detail.
+
+MARK SWANEY:</p>
+
+<p>Yes he is.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+<ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent>, let's keep his name in mind because I want to come
+back to him. Let's jump now to the sight in <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> that was
+used as the landing sight, the airport in <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> in the town
+of <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> --that was determinates of a lot of these
+<ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> resupply flights.
+
+MARK SWANEY:</p>
+
+<p>Yes, in fact <ent type='PERSON'>Terry Reid</ent> has stated in that same article that
+you have that it was the *hub* of the <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> resupply effort.
+Many people are not aware that <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> was very heavily and
+very deeply involved in the <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> affair all during the
+time that Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> ???? Governor of the state.
+And there were numerous stories written about it in the press.
+Well the story about <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> is that <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> is a very small town
+in the middle of the the Washitah (sp) mountains in Southwestern
+<ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> and not coincidentally it happens to be in <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>man
+<ent type='PERSON'>John Paul Hammerschmidt</ent>'s district, the Third <ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>ional
+district. <ent type='PERSON'>John Paul Hammerschmidt</ent> just happens to be one
+of <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent>'s very closest friend's. He was <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent>'s
+Presidential Campaign Manager for <ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s campaign in '76 and
+again in 1980. The two people are very close. Anyway <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent>
+has an airport and it looks from the outside like an ordinary,
+normal airport. The thing that separates <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent>'s airport from
+any other is the fact that there are row upon row of hangars
+--buildings which house aircraft refitting facilities. Now
+aircraft refitting is an industry that is in demand by two
+principal paying customers. One of them is the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>, and the
+other one are drug smugglers. And the reason is, is because if
+you're a <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> guy and you're going to do covert actions overseas
+-- they're almost entirely relying on air transport of some kind.
+Particularly if you're going to covertly resupply an army that's
+over a thousand miles away.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+Hassenfusse's plane was based there.
+
+MARK SWANEY: </p>
+
+<p>Pardon me.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+Hassenfusse's plane, the plane that was shot down, was based
+in <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>.
+
+MARK SWANEY:</p>
+
+<p>That plane was based there formally before <ent type='PERSON'>Barry Seal</ent> was
+murdered just a few months before it was shot down. That
+was <ent type='PERSON'>Barry Seal</ent>'s own personal airplane. But anyway what
+you need to do, if you're a <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> or a drug smuggler is you
+need an airplane that can do things that normally airplanes
+of the civilian variety are not allowed to do. Things like
+have cargo doors that open to the inside of the airplane so
+that you can make in-flight drops - so that you can drop
+things out of the airplane while it's flying -- which is
+illegal on a commercial or civilian type of aircraft. You
+need to do things like install advanced navigational equipment
+sometimes even ??? You need things like roller matts to put
+down on the floor so that you can roll the crates forward
+in the fuselage of the airplane to kick them out. You need
+to be able to modify a civilian aircraft that is not legally
+allowed to have such capability so that it does have those
+capabilities.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+And this was done in <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> -- a smalltown airport.
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Right. Now <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> has the second or third largest --I don't
+know which, but one of the largest aircraft refitting
+facilities in <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>. And as such it was --long
+before the <ent type='ORG'>Nicaruguan</ent> episode happened, it was a base of <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>
+covert operation and remains to this very minute a base of
+<ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> covert operation.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+Let's jump to another name that comes up in this -- a fella
+by the name of <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>, former employee of the state
+of <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>. He was a employee of the <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> Development
+and Finance Authority now I have an Associated Press article
+that came out just a couple of days ago that <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>
+has dropped a lawsuit that he had instituted in 1990 against
+Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> that came after his 1988 dismissal from that
+state job for miss-use of agency telephones.</p>
+
+<p>Can you tell us who <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> was.
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Yeah this is probably the most interesting part of the story
+-- you see <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> is the source of all these rumors
+and the <ent type='PERSON'>Jennifer Flowers</ent> thing and the Governor's sex life.
+The story that the press has yet not picked up on is the
+fact that <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> was a big time <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> supporter.
+He has close connections to <ent type='PERSON'>Mario Collero</ent>, <ent type='PERSON'>Adolpho Collero</ent>
+and <ent type='PERSON'>Jack Singlove</ent>. In fact he served with General Singlove
+in <ent type='GPE'>Vietnam</ent>. He spent the first half of the decade working
+for the <ent type='NORP'>Contras</ent> in a connection with an organization that
+General Singlove had. He spent time with the <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>'s on the
+ground in <ent type='GPE'>Honduras</ent>. His job was to collect military information.
+Now I've met with <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> -- this information that I'm
+about to give you he has told me directly. And we have checked
+out a great deal of what he's told us and everything that he
+has told us has checked out totally accurate.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+So what we're seeing here is a connection between the mistress
+sex scandal and the <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> and the Governor of <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>.
+There's a connection.
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Well what you find out here in a minute is that the sex
+scandals really have nothing to do with it. I saw his lawsuit
+several months ago when I was in <ent type='GPE'>Little Rock</ent> and it was of
+no interest to me I didn't even bother to make a copy of it.
+But <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>, the man, and his relationship to the
+Governor is extremely interesting. You see what it is --is
+that his job was to make military analysis of the situation
+in <ent type='GPE'>Honduras</ent> with the <ent type='NORP'>Contras</ent>. And to take that information
+back to <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> and package it and present it to
+<ent type='ORG'>Congress</ent>men who are in favor of <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> Aid with a view toward
+convincing them that the <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>'s were an effective military
+fighting force --that they could win militarily against the
+<ent type='ORG'>Sandanistas</ent>. At some point around '85 I believe this job for
+<ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> ran out, and he didn't have any money and he approached
+Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>. Now according to <ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent>, he and Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>
+are close friends, have known each other for a long time. In
+fact before the Governor was the Governor. He asked Governor
+<ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> --hey I'm broke I need a job. Well it's not too usual
+that somebody could just call up the Governor and say I want
+a job and the Governor says sure we'll make you Marketing
+Director for <ent type='ORG'>ADFA</ent>. That's the <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> Development Finance
+Authority --which figures centrally in <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent>'s
+relationship to the <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> Resupply network that the state
+of <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> was so heavily involved in. In any case he was
+there working at <ent type='ORG'>ADFA</ent> and someone at <ent type='ORG'>ADFA</ent> a fellow employee
+had found out about this guy that was working with them who
+was this romantic jungle fighter type of character. And
+eventually she began to talk to some friends about it and
+word reached the ears of a reporter and a reporter began
+to investigate <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> --wondering what this big <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>
+supporter was doing working for <ent type='ORG'>ADFA</ent>. Everyone who holds a
+top position at <ent type='ORG'>ADFA</ent> is directly appointed by <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent> --in
+fact <ent type='ORG'>ADFA</ent> is a total invention of <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent>'s --he created
+the agency out of thin air and appoints all of the top
+directors. In any case a reporter approached <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent>
+in <ent type='GPE'>Japan</ent> and started to question him about <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>
+--wanted to know what this guy was doing on state payroll
+--if he was lobbying for the <ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent>'s or just what the story
+was. Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>, rather precipitously fired <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>
+directly after that. And the story that was put out was that
+he was fired for misusing state telephones that he'd supposedly
+made hundreds of calls to the <ent type='NORP'>Contras</ent> and ran up thousands of
+dollars worth of bills to the <ent type='NORP'>Contras</ent> -- uhmm that is an
+unsubstantiated allegation --in fact on <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> suggestion
+the organization I work with received his entire phone records
+from <ent type='ORG'>ADFA</ent> through freedom of information act and went over
+those phone records with him call by call and we did not find
+any records of calls by him outside <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> on
+those phone records so it was a phony charge and <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>
+was in fact wrongfully fired and they made up this story that
+he was calling the <ent type='NORP'>Contras</ent> in order to get rid of him.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+Why do you think that was?
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Well I don't know the exact reason but I can tell you this
+that <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> the man I mentioned earlier,
+are very close friends.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+Well that's a point that you just mentioned that <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> was
+the State Security man who discovered the airplane -- the allegedly
+stolen airplane belonging to <ent type='PERSON'>Terry Reid</ent> was in fact in a certain
+airport hangar.
+
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Everything to do with that in fact the federal judge is on record
+for calling <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> a liar in <ent type='PERSON'>Terry Reid</ent>'s trial. But see <ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent>
+<ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent> and <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> knew each other and are close friends
+according to the newspaper accounts that were in the newspaper
+down here in <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> yesterday -- they're old buddies.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+Yes, well that's what the Associated Press report that I'm looking
+at right now says that <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent> dropped his lawsuit after consulting
+with <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent>.
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Yes, Now I'm going to say something right now which is rather
+shocking -- this is the first time this has been made public
+to my knowledge. A member of my organization who is going to
+be at a press conference that we're having tomorrow --spoke
+with <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> --we've been in contact with him for several
+months off and on on the telephone, and he's had a conversation
+with him sometime around the first week of January -- during
+which <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> tolde this member of my organization -- that
+<ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> had called him and told him that he in fact was a
+dead man -- that was under threat of death.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+<ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> was?
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+No. <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>. And at that time <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> was frightened
+-- he was not threatening <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> personally he was saying
+that we're all in trouble with this because there's a move in
+the Governor's office to get rid of me. So <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> was
+afraid that Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> was about to axe him in the same
+way that he axed <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent>. And so serious did he take
+this possibility that he informed <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> directly that
+he was a dead man.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+So <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> is now saying that <ent type='ORG'>Buddy Young</ent> the Chief of
+Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>'s gubernatorial campaign has told him that
+he's a dead man.
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Yes, that is the information that <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> gave to us
+-- now as I say that has not been reported anywhere else and
+I would not bet a lot right now on Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent> backing that
+statement up, but I back it up.
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+And this is prior to him dropping this lawsuit against Governor
+<ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>.
+
+MARK SWANEY:
+
+Yes, the timing of his dropping the lawsuit is interesting to
+us too, because we just recently were in contact with the Nation
+Magazine, and it was approximately two days after the Nation
+Magazine actually decided to take the information that we had
+collected on this case very seriously and in fact are now
+pursuing their own investigative journalism on this, it was
+about two days after that that <ent type='PERSON'><ent type='PERSON'>Larry</ent> <ent type='PERSON'>Nichols</ent></ent> declared that he
+was going to drop his lawsuit. Uh, so there's some very strange
+things that are going on. There's a great deal of other
+information --uh, connecting Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> to the operation
+in <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent>. We don't have what you'd call a smoking gun on this
+-- I have in front of me a piece of paper that I've written
+17 questions for the Governor on that the media has totally
+overlooked in their haste to salivate over all these sexual
+stories --they've totally missed what's available. For example,
+the organization that I work for has been --I don't say I work for,
+nobody pays us we're getting broke doing this, but in any case
+we've collected just about everything that's publicly available
+about <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> and all of its ramifications and its a tremendous
+story, and I'd like to emphasize right now that Governor
+<ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>'s part in this is very minor -- the real big fish in this
+story is <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent>. The damage that could come from this
+information coming out is in fact far more damaging to George
+<ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent> than anyone else, because he's directly responsible for this
+-- this operation was run out of the then Vice President George
+<ent type='PERSON'>Bush</ent>'s office. And I'd also like to add that the <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> chapter
+of the <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> story was the one that was most heavily
+covered up at the time -- it was part of the story they had
+that they took the most care to see to it that nothing ever
+came out about it. And that was for two reasons: 1) because
+it involves massive cocaine smuggling -- we had one pilot that
+came to the <ent type='ORG'>University</ent> and spoke directly to us and said
+"I personally flew for the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent>, guns, <ent type='NORP'>Panamanian</ent> Defense
+forces and approximately one ton of cocaine per flight.
+I flew seven of these flights into <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>." So they
+wanted to cover it up because it was the one thing that would
+have exposed the drug connection within <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent>
+most heavily. 2) And the other reason that they were very
+anxious to coverup <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent>'s involvement was because the base
+of operations that the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> was using was in fact still active
+at the time the hearings were going on. And that base of
+operations supports covert operations all around the world
+not just in <ent type='LOC'>Central America</ent>. For example, there's a current
+covert operation that was going on there at least as late as
+May of last year that killed a man from <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> and <ent type='GPE'>Angola</ent> --
+so the entire time that <ent type='PERSON'>Barry Seal</ent> was operating out of that
+airport the <ent type='ORG'>CIA</ent> was supporting there covert war with <ent type='ORG'>Jonason</ent>(sp)
+and <ent type='ORG'>Manunita</ent>(sp) in <ent type='GPE'>Angola</ent>. And we have sources within the
+<ent type='ORG'>United States government</ent> that there is covert activity going on
+in it this very day.
+
+
+PAUL DeRIENZO:
+
+Thank you very much <ent type='PERSON'>Mark Swaney</ent> --this is an amazing story and
+the amazing thing about it is that this is the *real* story about
+Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent> and that what we're getting served to us from
+all the media from start to finish from morning to night headlines
+in all the <ent type='GPE'>New York</ent> papers, is this thing about Governor <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent>
+and this woman <ent type='PERSON'>Jennifer Flowers</ent> and her association with the
+Governor who is married for 14 years, and the real story which
+you get on <ent type='ORG'>WBAI</ent> underneath it all from our contacts in <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent>
+is that in fact the Governor of <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> is covering up an illegal
+operation that began in the Vice President's office who is now
+President of <ent type='GPE'>the United States</ent> -- <ent type='PERSON'>George Bush</ent>. Which makes me
+wonder why should I even bother voting -- who's there to vote for.
+I mean both sides the <ent type='NORP'>Democrats</ent> and the <ent type='NORP'>Republicans</ent> are involved.
+
+MARK SWANEY: </p>
+
+<p>That's another part of the story --you know the best way to buy
+off an election is to pay off both candidates. There's significant
+<ent type='NORP'>Republican</ent> interest in seeing <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent> get the nomination
+from the standpoint that they will be assured then that none
+of the issues of the <ent type='GPE'>Iran</ent>-<ent type='ORG'>Contra</ent> affair are likely to be talked
+about. Certainly <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> doesn't want to talk about them.</p>
+
+<p>We tried before we knew that Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> was involved in this --
+we only came across this information 5 or 6 months ago and
+for two years now we've been doing demonstrations, writing
+letters collecting petitions holding informational gatherings
+to try to get this story to the people, and we have on several
+occasions sent <ent type='PERSON'>Bill Clinton</ent> signatures, petitions of <ent type='GPE'>Arkansan</ent>'s
+asking for a state investigation and he refused to do anything
+about them he would do nothing more than have an aide send us a
+two sentence letter saying we have received your petition and
+then this last September just one week before he decided to
+run for the Presidency we contacted his office and said listen
+we'd be willing to talk to you or any one of your aides so that
+we could talk to you about this major crime problem in our state
+that we're concerned about that we'd like to get to the bottom
+of -- and he refused that. During the 4 or 5 years now that
+the press has covered this story about <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent> and <ent type='PERSON'>Barry Seal</ent> --
+you know this is a story about people who have been murdered --
+this is a very, very serious affair and during all of this time
+talk of massive <ent type='ORG'>Cocaine</ent> smuggling, corruption of local officials
+corruption of <ent type='ORG'>Federal and State</ent> judicial system on and on and on
+there was total silence from the Governor, not a word. And it
+was not until our organization had a large demonstration
+-- it wasn't really a large demonstration but it was very well
+covered in the <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> press --that reporters approached
+Mr. <ent type='PERSON'>Clinton</ent> about <ent type='PERSON'>Mena</ent>. He talked about it for the first time
+in 4 or 5 years and what he had to say at that time was that
+he had in fact authorized some money for lonely little <ent type='GPE'>Polk County</ent>,
+which is a poor county in Southwestern <ent type='GPE'>Arkansas</ent> to run an
+investigation and so we asked him for back up from the
+Governor's office we said -freedom of information act
+-- we'd like to know if you have any documentation whatsoever
+to back up your statement that you are willing to help the
+<ent type='GPE'>Polk County</ent> investigators do their own state investigation
+in this affair. And he could not produce a single thing.</p>
