5. "and such" includes Iran Contra, during which he lied to investigators,

to the point which SHOULD have brought perjury indictments:

"In 1987, Walsh had requested that Weinberger hand over any records relevant to the Iran-Contra affair. In reply, Weinberger produced a modest amount of material, nothing incriminating. Then, in 1991, Walsh's investigators discovered that Weinberger had sent thousands of pages of diary and meeting notes he had kept while defense secretary to the Library of Congress. This material showed that, contrary to his sworn testimony, Weinberger knew in advance that the Reagan administration was shipping weapons to Iran in exchange for hostages. A grand jury indicted Weinberger for concealing these notes from Congress and from the independent counsel and for lying about his knowledge of the arms deal.

Powell played a small but key role in the Weinberger episode. In 1987, seven investigators from the House and Senate Iran-Contra committees questioned Powell in the White House situation room. In the course of this sworn deposition, Powell was asked a standard question: Did Weinberger keep a diary? The investigators wanted to know if documentary evidence existed that could help them unravel the scandal.

Powell replied, "The secretary, to my knowledge, did not keep a diary." But, as Walsh's investigators found out four years later, Weinberger had kept an extensive diary. Perhaps it was possible Powell had not known about Weinberger's notes. But in 1992, when Weinberger was under investigation for having lied about the notes, Powell had a different story to tell about his old boss's diaries.

In a sworn affidavit submitted to Walsh's office by Weinberger's attorney, Powell said, "During the period I worked with Secretary Weinberger ... I observed on his desk a small pad of white paper, approximately 5" by 7". He would jot down on this pad in abbreviated form various calls and events during the day. I viewed it as his personal diary." In a subsequent interview with Walsh's office, Powell revealed that he even knew that Weinberger had stored his diary notes "in his desk on the right side."
