For those with better memories than mine: who were the players in...

[punpirate]

... the late Reagan years defense procurement scandals? A few names would be very helpful.

Cheers.

[DURHAM D]

1. Poindexter, Casey, Wineberger (sp.?), McFarland, Negropointe.

[Don Claybrook]

2. Add Oliver North & Richard Secord n/t

[Don Claybrook]

4. And maybe Kashoggi, if memory serves (??) n/t

[punpirate]

5. No, they were Iran-Contra figures...

... I'm asking about people who got caught in defense _procurement_ (spending) scams.

Cheers.

[Don Claybrook]

7. oops, nevermind. Sorry about that.

[DURHAM D]

9. Sorry, me confused. Sadly they are probably all related however. eom

3. are you talking about the wedtech scandal ?

casually know a guy went to prison for that but not well enough to ask about it

maybe caspar weinberger could be googled?

[punpirate]

8. WedTech's a minor part of this...

... if only because it involved Ed Meese.

What I'm after are the firms raided by the FBI around 1988 who were prominent in defense spending fraud.

Cheers.

6. Melvyn Paisley

Paisley was assistant to Navy Secretary Lehman.
also
Austen Watson, contractor
Boeing Corp. through Dick Fowler
Bill Galvin, lobbyist.

That's a few of the many.

[punpirate]

11. Yup, you got it...

... Paisley jogs the memory, as does Austen Watson.

More of the many are appreciated, if you remember them.

Cheers.

10. Procurement of what?

When the Gannon story broke there was mention of a sex ring or are you talking anout weapons procurement in which case I think Adnan Kashoogi might have been involved. He is also mentioned in the BCCI.

[punpirate]

12. Before that. And within this country...

... nasty doings amongst the defense contractors in the middle `80s extending to the late `80s. Adnan Kashoggi was Iran-Contra material. I'm talking about defense procurement fraud--Pentagon-contractor irregularities.

Cheers.

[bleever]

13. Gorbhanifor, if I recall correctly.

[punpirate]

14. Iran-Contra figure, again...

... I'm asking about the defense procurement scandals, in which collusion between the Pentagon and domestic defense firms occurred.

Cheers.
