Justice's inspector general, Michael Bromwich, said he is coordinating his probe with that of Hitz. While the CIA investigation shows no evidence thus far to support the allegations, he said, the Justice Department investigation has not yet even received any responses from department elements under investigation. Accordingly, Bromwich said he could not give the Senate panel any information to either support or deny suggestions of such CIA actions. Committee chairman Arlen Specter and vice chairman Robert Kerrey were displeased at the suggestion of delay. They offered the help of the committee, with its special congressional subpoena power, to expedite the process. Hitz responded that the problem rested more on the volume of material to be examined and less on the question of cooperation by CIA elements. Jack Blum, a former special counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the senators that there was a larger issue than the truth or falsehood of the allegations. "The issues before the committee are at the heart of the unfinished work of post-Cold War intelligence reform," he said. "I hope that the discussion will lead to a fundamental change in the way the United States deals with covert operations. That change is essential if public confidence in the integrity of the confidential international dealings of the United States government is to be restored," he added. Blum said that in his tenure with the Senate during from 1987 to 1989, "we found no evidence to suggest ... a policy of supporting the contras by encouraging drug sales." However, "there was plenty of evidence that policymakers closed their eyes to the criminal behavior of some of America's allies and supporters in the contra war. Policymakers ignored their drug dealing, their stealing, their human rights violations. "If the question is whether the CIA sold crack cocaine to support the contra war, the answer is no. If you ask whether the United States ignored the drug problem and subverted law enforcement to prevent embarrassment and to reward our allies in the contra war, the answer is yes." Specter and Kerrey said they would call another hearing on the subject when the inspectors general have issued their reports. NNNN
