Former Defense Officials "Deeply Disturbed" by Gore Deal With Russia October 24, 2000 WASHINGTON -- A bi-partisan group of former secretaries of state, secretaries of defense, national security advisors and CIA directors have issued a statement declaring they are "deeply disturbed by the agreement made between Vice President Gore and then Russian Premier Chernomyrdin in which America acquiesced in the sale by Russia to Iran of highly threatening military equipment..." The statement -- signed by supporters of both Gov. Bush and Vice President Gore -- also called the Administration’s failure to disclose the agreement to Congress "incomprehensible."The statement was signed by: George Shultz, James Baker, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Frank Carlucci, Lawrence Eagleburger, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, James Schlesinger, Brent Scowcroft, Caspar Weinberger and James Woolsey. "We... find it incomprehensible that this agreement was not fully disclosed even to those committees of Congress charged with receiving highly classified briefings -- apparently at the request of the Russian Premier," the statement declares.
