Editing Iran–Contra affair (section)

==Reports and documents==
The 100th Congress formed a [[Joint Committee of the United States Congress]] ([[Congressional committees investigating the Iran–Contra affair]]) and held hearings in mid-1987. Transcripts were published as: ''Iran-Contra Investigation: Joint Hearings Before the Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition and the House Select Committee to Investigate Covert Arms Transactions with Iran'' ([[U.S. GPO]] 1987–88). A closed Executive Session heard classified testimony from North and Poindexter; this transcript was published in a [[redaction|redacted]] format. The joint committee's final report was ''Report of the Congressional Committees Investigating the Iran-Contra Affair With Supplemental, Minority, and Additional Views'' (U.S. GPO 17 November 1987). The records of the committee are at the [[National Archives and Records Administration|National Archives]], but many are still non-public.<ref>[https://www.archives.gov/legislative/guide/senate/chapter-18-1969-1988.html#18F-2 Iran-Contra joint committee] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170719181116/https://www.archives.gov/legislative/guide/senate/chapter-18-1969-1988.html#18F-2 |date=19 July 2017 }} documents, at the National Archives.</ref>
