Congress denied details on Gore deal By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES The Clinton administration is continuing to withhold from Congress details of Vice President Al Gore's secret deals with Russia despite appeals made during closed-door briefings for members of Congress. Senators yesterday were denied access to a secret list of Russian arms the administration allowed Moscow to send Iran without incurring U.S. sanctions, as agreed to in a secret deal, according to a letter from a group of senior Republicans. During a House briefing yesterday, members were denied access to two secret letters — one from Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin and one written by Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright. The refusal to disclose details about Mr. Gore's arrangements appears to fulfill a request made in a classified 1995 letter from Mr. Chernomyrdin. According to the letter, first disclosed by The Washington Times Oct. 17, Mr. Chernomyrdin urged Mr. Gore to keep secret Russia's nuclear deal with Iran from "third parties, including the U.S. Congress." washtimes.com
