arms to Iran at inflated prices and diversion of some profits to the Nicaraguan rebels. The next witness, former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, will face the committees beginning Monday. Secord, concluding his testimony, said, "I understand the need of the committee to dig in as deep as you can and get to the facts. I knew it wouldn't be an easy task when I voluntarily came here. I didn't expect it to be a rose garden, so I'm not surprised.

"I've attempted to be accurate and truthful to the best of my knowlege," Secord said. "I want to tell you that your years of dedicated service to our country is deeply appreciated," Rep. William S. Broomfield, had earlier told Secord. Broomfield also said it was not the committee's business to be suggesting Secord will face criminal indictment as Sen.

Howell Heflin, suggested Thursday. Heflin was more circumspect Friday, saying he would reserve judgment on Secord. But, he said, "many of us are in a quandary or state of uncertainty as to whether to believe your story and what are the true facts." "Under one interpretation of the evidence, you are a real patriot for your cause. Under a different interpretation of the same evidence one can conclude that you were interested primarily in making money for personal gain in a corrupt manner," Heflin added. Sen.

David L. Boren, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and one of Secord's harshest questioners, said in an interview with The Associated Press that Secord was "a very clever witness" who had left major questions unanswered while maintaining he had no intention of reaping profits from the Iran-Contra affair. Boren noted that former CIA Director William J. Casey, who died Wednesday, was the only person Secord said he told that assets of the enterprise would be given back to the government rather than sold. "Other witnesses have already told our staff that he (Secord) said he intended to sell it," Boren said.

Secord, testifying voluntarily and without immunity, opened his final appearance by saying he wanted any remaining proceeds from his operation turned over to a new fund for the Contras established in memory of Casey. Sen. Warren Rudman, interjected, "I would think that's a very laudable idea. But I must tell you that, in my view, you or no one else has a right to send that money anywhere. "That money belongs to the people of the United States and I will assure you that the Justice Department at the appropriate time will make that NO SUCTION?

"I think the evidence will indicate that (Contra leader Adolfo) Calero was requested to produce cash and travelers checks to be used for this particular purpose," Cohen said.
