"The Tower Commission Report"

The Tower Commission Report was a federal investigation launched in 1987 into the Iran-Contra scandal, where senior officials secretly sold arms to Iran and used the proceeds to fund Nicaraguan Contra rebels, despite Congressional bans. The report examined the actions of President Reagan's administration, highlighting miscommunications, unauthorized decisions, and lack of oversight. It recommended improved accountability, clearer procedures, and strengthened congressional oversight to prevent future misconduct. The report aimed to clarify what happened, assign responsibility, and promote reforms to ensure more transparency and integrity in government operations.
