Chuck Grassley: “I make clear that I cannot contest some of these documents that he refers to, but we happen to know what documents exist…”

On the recordJanuary 26, 1994
I make clear that I cannot contest some of these documents that he refers to, but we happen to know what documents exist from our investigation. I want to make clear that I was talking about a full and complete set. We have some specific pieces here and there that we have gotten from the department the Senator stated and dossiers and some prisons. But I am talking about a full and complete as we know those records full and complete exist. We do not have that sort of cooperation from them. Then my last point is simply the Senator made an argument when he states about it being an authoritarian government. It is for that reason that I think we have to use the economic leverage or we will never get any answers, and it is because they are authoritarian they can get away with lying to us.
