Inouye, United States Senate Select Committee on Iran/Contra Members: David L Boren, William S. Cohen, Orrin G. Hatch, Howell Heflin, James A. Mc Clure, George J. Mitchell, Sam Nunn, Warren Rudman, Paul S. Sarbanes, and Paul S. Trible,Jr.: Chairman Lee H.

Fascell, Ed Jenkins, Peter Rodino, Jr., Louis Stokes, William Broomfield, Dick Cheney, Jim Courtier, Micheal DeWine, Henry J. Hyde, and Bill Mc Collum: United States Independent Councel Lawrence E. Walsh. Regarding: Request for an investigation into the 1400 pound cocaine incident at the Laguna Army Airfield in the highly restricted army Yuma Proving Grounds on Nov. 26, 1986. Dear Chairman Inouye, Hamilton Committe Members, and Independent Counsel Walsh: This communication constitutes a respectful request of Chairman DANIEL K. INOUYE and MEMBERS of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition; Chairman Lee H. Hamilton and MEMBERS ofthe U.S. House OF Representatives Select committee to Investigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran; and U. S. Independent Counsel Lawence E. Walsh for an immediate,thorough and complete investigation into the multi- million dollar 1400 Pound cocaine incident at Laguna Army Airfield, November 26,1986, in the highly restricted million -acre Army Yuma Proving Grounds, the Army's Testing site for secret artillery devices and guided missiles,located 16 miles Northeast of Yuma,AZ. The estimated more than $300 million street value, nearly 3/4 of a ton cocaine incident occurred during the same time frame as the shredding, burning, doctoring and removal of official documents, the dismissal of Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North, and the pattern of lies, built in plausible deniability, deceit and spin control policy that pervaded the Reagan administration during the Iran-Contra scandal disclosure panic. Attached and marked exhibit A, is a copy of the December 6,1986, Arizona News Republic's article, wherein Ben Duffy, public affairs officer for the Army Yuma Proving Grounds, stated that early Wednesday morning, November 26, 1986 a Gulfstream twin engine Aero Commander 500 was found parked on the landing strip of the Laguna Army Airfield with the pilot asleep in the cockpit. The pilot told the G.I.'s who awakened him that he thought he was in Barstow California, over 200 miles to the North-Northwest. Later, the pilot told the Laguna AAF staff that he was short of fuel, the staff let him use the phone to call Yuma International Airport who brought out 20 gallons of fuel and the thankful pilot flew off. Nine(9) days later, on Thursday, December 4, 1986, after the pilot in the aero Commander 500 left on November 26, 1986, Duffy stated that maintenance personnel found 17 duffel bags containing 1400 pounds of cocaine on the runway near where the plane had landed. In a telephone conversation, on or about December 18,1986, The Arizona Republic's highly respected and accurate news reporter Mr. Paul Brinkley-Rogers stated that some GI had by chance written down the Aero Commander 500's ID number, that he did not believe that the required governmental form had been filled out by staff at the highly restricted Laguna AAF relative to the trespass and air penetration, that the pilot was alone without lethal arms, and that he was not allowed to interview the Laguna personnel present during the incident. Mr. Brinkley-Rogers inquired into the interest that precipitated the above mentioned phone call and he was informed that the 1400lb cocaine incident had earmarks of a possible governmental agency operation connected potentially to a Contra cash and/or arms scam based upon the following facts and probabilities: 1. That the pilot was alone and unarmed flags the fact that he was possibly a Federal agency employee on a Rope. Individuals who invest $20 To $30 million would have at least one other heavily armed person aboard, keeping his good eye on the pilot and the other out looking for a rival cocaine organization hi-jacking attempt. 2. That it took nine (9) days for Laguna AAF personnel to notice and find the seventeen (17) duffel bags, containing 1400 lbs. of cocaine, on the on the runway near where the plane had landed and parked. 3. That the cocaine was contained in 17 duffel bags, indicates that it could have passed through a Central American military base, concealed in the duffel bags during transportation aboard a military aircraft, company or other, or that it could have been stored at Laguna AAf. 4. That the DEA and the FBI statements appear to support the 'story of the pilot in a cover up of misinformation by suggesting "It is possible a gas cap got loosened and he began losing fuel," and I think the guy was tired and disoriented and short of gas, and flying in the early morning he became lost and confused. He probably thought he was in Barstow." 5. That the topography of Laguna AAF aerodome and surrounding area is in sharp contrast to Barstow-Daggett no military rights aerodome. Barstow-Daggett aerodome is directly south of Dagett,seven (7) miles Southeast of Barstow, and has an elevation of 1927ft. The Laguna AAF aerodome is sixteen (16) miles Northeast of Yuma, is approximately one and a half(1 1/2) miles East of the Colorado River, sixty miles North of the Gulf of California, and with an elevation of 419ft. above sea level. 6. That the DEA claimed that the flight probably began somewhere in South America "and touched down at midpoint--Belize, Guatemala, southern Mexico--for refueling," this is nonsense.Belize,Guatemala and southern Mexico are approximately 2500 direct air miles from Laguna AAF. The gutless and underpowered Aero Commander 500, loaded with 1400 lbs. and one pilot, would have a maximum range of 700 miles and a safe range of 600 miles. If the aircraft was using the inferior Mexican aviation fuel, the range and power would be further reduced. 7. That the DEA appears to mislead by claiming that the three prior major seizures in Arizona of cocaine were delivered by Aero Commanders as to convince the public that Aero Commanders are the type used by smugglers,this is nonsense. 8. That the public-affairs officer, Duffy, said the apparent drug-drop incident was the first recorded at the million dollar proving grounds.This is not true. 9. That the pilot landed at Laguna AAF because he was 'lost' or `short of fuel' while carrying 1400lbs of cocaine is interesting, because there are numerous abandoned paved military, private most of the larger ranches, such as the White Wing and Kino, with good airstrips or the many miles of flat,straight,remote and barren desert roads that were visible on that clear, half-moonlit night of November 25,1986. Attached and marked as Exhibit B, is a copy of the December 25, 1986,Arizona Republic's follow up article, by Mr.Brinkley-Rogers (602-271-8231), wherein the DEA have interestingly changed facts in their original story, and announced that Henry Perralta,55 years of age, a Pacific Southwest Airlines mechanic, was captured and arrested on December 10,1986,in San Diego,California, is being held without bail at San Diego's Metropolitan Corrections Center , That Peralta was arrested in 1981 when he landed at brown Field (near San Diego) with residue of marijuana in his aircraft but was not prosecuted, that the flight originated in Mexico, probably at Guatalajara, that army personnel inspecting the field found the 1400 lbs. of cocaine in 17 duffle bags near where Peralta had parked just a few days after Peralta flew off on November 26,1986, that the DEA now believe that Peralta thought he was at another airstrip near Laguna AAF, but not at Barstow, that he probably had gas in the plane, and that Peralta flew straight to San Diego where his aircraft was later seized by federal agents. On or about July 6,1987, in a telephone conversation with the Clerk of the U.S. District Court, Phoenix,Arizona, that was issued on May 6, 1987, in the U.S District Court, Phoenix,Arizona, Case number CR87130, attached and marked as exhibit C, because Arizona has jurisdiction of the matter, that the Clerk, after checking computer records and files stated that Peralta had no previous conviction, that he was not being held on a previous conviction, and that the Clerk stated that Peralta was charged in San Diego's Case No. 87-2683m with the importation and distribution of 1208 lbs of cocaine,as in the Arizona Federal Case No. Cr 87-130 the amount is 1,208 lbs of cocaine. There appears to be 192 lbs. of cocaine missing after the FBI weighed and marked for evidence the 1400 lbs. of cocaine at Laguna AAF. The FBI then took the 1400 lbs of cocaine to San Diego for lab testing, after which,192 lbs. vanished out of sight. Why was the cocaine tested in San Diego? On June 29, 1987, U.S.vs.Henry Manuel Peralta, U.S. district Court, Phoenix Arizona, Docket and Case Number CR-87-130-PHX, file on record contained only an Indictment signed by an assistant U.S. attorney and Foreman of the Grand Jury on May 6, 1987,Arrest Warrant for Peralta also signed and filed on May 6,1987, and the Case Summary statement, attached and marked as Exhibit D. The case summary,CR-87-130-PHX, wrongfully shows that Peralta is in custody on " another conviction" that is federal, in San Diego, California. Further, that Exhibit D establishes that the case summary was initially prepared stating that Peralta was in Custody on the 2 Counts contained in exhibit C, the Indictment. However, Exhibit D establishes that after the Case Summary was prepared, someone using white ink correction fluid partially eradicated the typed in X in box number 5, and that clearly altered the reason for Peralta's custody, that is that peralta was in custody on another Federal conviction, which is a falsehood according to the files and records of the Clerk of the U.S. District Court, San Diego, California. Of further interest,is the fact that although the DEA and the FBI have been making the public statements, the record on file shows that the U.S. Customs is the complainant agency.(See exhibit D) Additional facts, probabilities and requests follow: 1. That Peralta was arrested in 1981 with residue of marijuana in his aircraft when he landed, and was not prosecuted, and did not lose his employment status as a mechanic with Pacific Southwest Airlines, would cause reasonable and prudent citizens to deduce that Peralta was roped at that tine and converted into a contract employee with a Federal Agency. 2. That the DEA modified their original claim that Peralta refueled in Belize, Guatemala or southern Mexico and flew directly to Laguna AAF,2500 miles distance, and now claim that the flight probably originated in Guadalajara, Mexico, is still nonsense because Guadalajara is over 1000 air miles from Laguna AAF. 3. A twin-engine Aero Commander 500 is an old executive, bulky, seven (7) seats including the pilot, that is under powered and gutless aircraft that carries 156 gallons of fuel, consumes 32 to 35 gallons per hour, but has greater consumption if burning inferior Mexican fuel, one pilot one pilot and 1400 lbs. of freight is considered overloaded and unsafe with a maximum range of 700mi.and a safe range of 600mi. With a pilot, plus 1400lbs of freight,and full tanks an Aero Commander 500 will eat up almost all of a 10,000 ft. runway at take off and take forever to reach altitude. Flying at 10,000 ft. altitude, 1400lbs. of freight, and the pilot loses one of the engines, he had better have a landing strip within a thirty mile radius because an Aero Commander has a distinguishing feature of developing an acute angle of descent after the shut down of an engine. 4. A private person owning a $200 to $250 per hour flying cost Aero Commander, on the income of an airline mechanic in a border State is usually as obvious and transparent as a person in a border State attempting to lease an Aero Commander, without the seats, claiming to use it for transportation of cabbages or boxed Kellogg's Corn Flakes. The roomy Aero Commander has been known to be used often by smugglers of the far less expensive marijuana illegally imported from Mexico. The Mexican Gov't prohibits private aircraft flights during night-time. However, the expensive and highly profitable cocaine is illegally imported in fast high altitude jets or turboprop aircraft, avoiding the low level border radar, by professional pilots who are paid up to one million dollars for their only and once in a lifetime run. The millions of dollars initially paid for the cocaine,plus the potential incredible profits warrant this mode of delivery.
