Gore Hit for 'Secret Deal' on Arms Sales to Iran

(CNSNews.com) - The head of the House Policy Committee Friday
launched a broadside at Vice President Al Gore for a "secret
deal" Gore allegedly made allowing Russia to sell restricted
weapons to Iran without facing US sanctions, and doing so in
violation of a bill co-authored by Gore eight years ago.
Rep. Christopher Cox (R-CA) accused Gore of having "concluded a
secret agreement in 1995 with then-Russian Prime Minister Viktor
Chernomyrdin to circumvent U.S. laws requiring sanctions on any
country that supplies advanced conventional weapons to Iran,"
according to a statement.
Cox was responding to an earlier report that Gore had allegedly
agreed to not enforce a US law requiring sanctions on countries
that sell "advanced conventional weapons," to Iran. The story
first appeared Friday in the New York Times.
"The secret Gore-Chernomyrdin agreement reportedly allowed Russia
to sell weapons to Iran for four more years, including an
advanced submarine, torpedoes, anti-ship mines, and hundreds of
tanks and armored personnel carriers," said Cox. "This
submarine, as but one example, is exactly the type identified by
Congress, when it passed the law, as posing a risk to US forces
operating in the Middle East."
Joining Cox in his condemnation was Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who
co-sponsored the measure with Gore in 1992, before his election
as vice president. "The secret deal cut by Vice President Gore
directly contradicts the 1992 law he authored," said Cox.
"Gore's unwillingness to live up to his own words has abetted the
arming of a terrorist state."
Cox made his remarks in conjunction with the US-Russia Business
Council meeting in Washington, DC.
