Kerry Report on Iran Contra

Sidney Blumenthal’s Salon article, "John Kerry, the man who uncovered Iran-Contra”

BCCI Investigation


After running the first PAC-donation-free senate race in the country's history (his first Senate race in 1984), wrote the preeminent campaign finance reform bill: the Clean Money, Clean Elections Act. From the Nation:

The following year, a re-elected Kerry was in another lonely position as one of only five original sponsors of the Clean Money, Clean Elections Act, to provide for full public financing of Congressional elections. The measure would remove practically all special-interest money from House and Senate campaigns. (Kerry's colleagues were Wellstone, Leahy, John Glenn and Joe Biden--all Democrats.) "Kerry was totally into it," says Ellen Miller, former executive director of Public Campaign, a reform group pressing for the legislation. "He believes in this stuff."

In introducing the legislation, Kerry said on the Senate floor, "Special interest money is moving and dictating and governing the agenda of American politics.... If we want to regain the respect and confidence of the American people, and if we want to reconnect to them and reconnect them to our democracy, we have to get the special interest money out of politics." He was also a backer of the better-known McCain-Feingold legislation, a more modest and (some might say) problematic approach to campaign reform. But over the years he's pointed to the Clean Money, Clean Elections Act as the real reform. "It is a tough position in Congress to be for dramatic change in financing elections," says Miller. "It's gutsy to go out and say, 'Let's provide a financially leveled playing field so there is more competition for incumbents.' Kerry and Wellstone were the leaders and took a giant step. It was remarkable."

John Kerry’s Record On Americans with Disabilities Issues

Protecting Rights and Opportunities for Disabled Americans John Kerry has a long history of supporting increased opportunities for disabled Americans. John Kerry passed a program through the Senate to provide a uniform system for handicapped parking to promote safety. In 1990, John Kerry joined Tom Harkin in support of his Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)--the “landmark legislation that protects the civil rights of more than 57 million Americans with physical and mental disabilities.” John Kerry has also offered a number of programs to provide a uniform system for handicapped parking to promote safety and backed measures such as MiCASSA to ensure greater opportunities for disabled Americans to succeed. (101st
Congress, S.933; 100th, S.550)

Created Safe, Uniform Handicapped Parking Systems in the U.S. Working hard in the United States Senate, John Kerry passed a measure to increase safety and create a more uniform system of handicapped parking. In
1985, Kerry introduced the Handicapped Parking Act and in 1987, Kerry introduced the Traffic Safety for Handicapped Individuals Act. When he introduced his bill, Kerry stated that “because a national uniform parking
system does not exist, many states are unable to recognize other states' handicap parking plates. In addition, several states do not have reciprocity in honoring other states' handicapped parking permits. Consequently, when a handicapped citizen goes from one state to another their disability is frequently no longer recognized.” Kerry later offered his proposal as an amendment which passed the Senate. (99th Congress, S. 1936; 100th Congress,S.550; S.Amdt. 170)

Authored Bill to Assist Parents Care for Children with Special Needs In 1988 & 1989, John Kerry worked to allow parents to receive SSI and Medicaid benefits—regardless of their income and assets—to assist their
children with special needs. At the time, Kerry stated, “The legislation I am introducing today would require that the income deeming rules be waived for severely disabled children allowing them to receive SSI and Medicaid
benefits regardless of their parents' income and assets.” (100th Congress, S. 2094; 101st Congress, S. 1070; Congressional Record, 5/18/89)

Expanded Educational Opportunities for Children with Disabilities John Kerry’s 1987 Technology To Educate Children With Handicaps Act was written to establish high technology centers to assist disabled schoolchildren expand their educational opportunities. Kerry said, “the purpose of these centers is to act as a resource so that handicapped children, through the use of technology, can gain more independence in the classroom and more independence in their social activities.” (100th Congress, S. 1586; Congressional Record, 8/3/87)

Kerry Chose IDEA Funding Over Bush Tax Cut Giveaway In 2001, Kerry voted to shift funding away from the Bush tax cut for the wealthiest Americans and toward funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Kerry has consistently supported efforts to fully fund IDEA and will continue working toward its full funding. (2001, Senate Roll Call Vote, #82)

Accessible Transportation Action Act- Funding to Make Mass Transportation More Accessible
In 1991, John Kerry fought for greater funding of mass transportation to assist in compliance with the ADA. Kerry put forth very specific goals for how to use his funding for technological development in order to increase
the accessibility of mass transportation for Americans with disabilities: ”
First, ongoing demonstration programs to show practical ways to overcome barriers to transportation accessibility; second, support of future innovations, especially in the area of technology development; third,
technical assistance on general accessibility issues to transit authorities and consumers, including onsite technical assistance; and fourth, information dissemination and sharing. (102nd Congress, S. 1224; Congressional Record, 6/5/91)

Supports MiCASSA to Ensure Access to Community Assistance John Kerry is a cosponsor of the Medicaid Community-Based Attendant Services and Supports Act which will “provide individuals with disabilities and older
Americans with equal access to community-based attendant services and support.” (108th Congress, S.971)

Cosponsored Act to Improve Accessibility to Voting for Disabled Americans John Kerry strongly supported and cosponsored John McCain’s legislation to ensure the voting rights of individuals with disabilities and to improve
access to polling places. The bill Kerry supported stated that “no individual may be denied the right to vote in a Federal election on the basis of being disabled.” (106th Congress, S. 511) We truly are standing in an amazing moment in time. With the ADA under one arm and Olmstead under the other, we are equipped with the tools we need to prevail in one of the last stands of the civil rights movement: to ensure the American promises of
freedom, choices, and independence in the lives of people with disabilities. The only piece missing is the political will to make it happen. Well, I say, "No more excuses“. – John Kerry (Statement to the ADAPT, Free Our People

Fought International Crime, Corruption and Drug Trafficking. John Kerry chaired the landmark hearings that uncovered the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) scandal - the largest banking corruption scandal in modern times. He led hearings which provided evidence that Haitian military officials were involved in drug trafficking to the United States. He also led hearings on corruption and drug trafficking by Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega, and introduced legislation requiring the Reagan administration to cut off foreign aid to Panama because of drug-related corruption within its government.
Uncovered Government Corruption. John Kerry went on a fact-finding mission to Nicaragua and presented his findings to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Based in part on John Kerry's groundbreaking findings, the committee reached a consensus decision to investigate the Contra guerillas and their connection to drug trafficking in the United States. The resulting investigation uncovered the Iran-Contra scandal, a scheme that diverted profits from illegal arms sales to Iran to support the Contra guerilla fighters in Nicaragua.

Fought to Help Victims of Agent Orange. Beginning more than 15 years ago, John Kerry introduced legislation to assist veterans in receiving medical compensation after being exposed to the toxic chemical Agent Orange. John Kerry even testified before Congress to force the government to care for Vietnam veterans. John Kerry's bill, the Comprehensive Agent Orange Scientific Evidence Review Act, sought to require that the Veterans Administration(VA) look into the "health effects of exposure" to Agent Orange.

He helped protect America's National Parks and National Forests from pollution, excessive logging, and overdevelopment while ensuring that endangered species are preserved for all Americans to experience. He has opposed opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling for over a decade, ensuring that future generations can experience this national treasure. He strongly advocated for U.S. participation in the Kyoto accords and other international environmental initiatives, and personally participated in many major world environmental summits, including conferences at Rio di Janiero, Kyoto and the Hague.

Fought for America's Veterans. John Kerry has been a tireless champion of mandatory funding for veterans' health care. He fought vigorously for full funding of VA health care and opposed the Bush administration's exclusion of Priority 8 veterans and its elimination of VA outreach efforts. He sought improved prescription drug benefits and authored legislation in 2003 to let veterans fill prescriptions written by non-VA doctors through the VA pharmacy. As chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs, John Kerry investigated the fate of missing American soldiers in Vietnam and brought about the resolution of this difficult issue for their families and for the governments of both countries. In 1994, he sponsored an amendment with Senator McCain that urged the American government to lift its 25-year trade embargo with Vietnam. He then worked closely with Senator McCain and President Clinton to facilitate full normalization of trade and diplomatic relations with Vietnam.

Stood Up for America's Children. John Kerry wrote the bill that became the foundation for the 1997 State Children's Health Insurance Program (S-CHIP), which provided states with federal funding to help extend health insurance coverage to children whose families do not qualify for Medicaid. He introduced legislation to expand state and local early childhood development efforts, including education, child care and health care for children between birth and six years old. At the end of 2000, a version of this bipartisan legislation was signed into law. To address the needs of America's at-risk youth, John Kerry led the effort to establish the YouthBuild program, which provides young people with basic education toward a diploma and the skills training they need to get a good-paying job. YouthBuild also teaches leadership and civic engagement while providing students with adult mentors who help them overcome personal problems and participate in a supportive community with positive values.

Fought for Affordable Housing. As a member of the Senate Housing Subcommittee, John Kerry has a long record of fighting for affordable housing. He shaped the first significant rewrite of the public housing program in over 20 years and worked to craft and pass a bill that helped save the government billions of dollars in rental assistance payments, preserved thousands of affordable rental apartments, and helped finance the rehabilitation of those apartments. With Senator Jim Jeffords (I-VT), John Kerry sponsored the Affordable Housing Preservation Act to foster local partnerships between non-profits, state and local governments, and private landlords in order to keep existing housing projects available and affordable for low-income tenants. He worked to create and implement the "mark-up to market" program and he co-authored the Affordable Housing for Seniors and Families Act of 2000.
