(Thursday, February 26, 1987, 11:00 a.m. EST) — The Tower Commission, which investigated the Iran-Contra affair, portrayed U.S. President Ronald Reagan today as a confused and remote figure who failed to understand or control the secret arms deal with Iran, and who thus had to “take responsibility” for a policy that in the end caused ”chaos” at home and embarrassment abroad.
