[0:04] Good evening. This is the CBS Evening
[0:06] News. Dan Rather reporting. The Justice
[0:08] Department is expanding its
[0:10] investigation of the Ayatollah to
[0:11] Contras missiles and money deal. One
[0:14] goal is to try and find out who got the
[0:16] money.
[0:17] President Reagan has gone to California

[1:03] Advisor Brent Scowcroft, and former
[1:05] Secretary of State Edmund Muskie are the
[1:07] other members. I intend to pursue this
[1:08] task with diligence
[1:10] and objectivity. The president will meet
[1:13] with the special commission on Monday.
[1:14] Aides said the board would be given cart
[1:16] blanche in its investigation.
[1:18] With Washington still in shock over news
[1:20] of the secret diversion of funds to the
[1:22] Contras, the qu
