What we found from our searches
3) PROMIS - We have searched our files extensively in
response to previous congressional inquiries on ISLAW's
PROMIS (Prosecutor's Management Information System). As
noted in the DDCI's response to Chairman Brooks on 18 Nov
91, and a similar letter from D/OCA to the SSCI on 2 Aug 93,
we have found no records about INSLAW's PROMIS software, or
the allegations that it had been misappropriated,
distributed or used in the manner alleged in these articles.
As noted in the letter to the SSCI, the Department of
Justice appointed a special counsel to investigate the
INSLAW matter and a report was submitted to the House
Judiciary Committee on 17 June 1993 that may be of
assistance to your review.
4) We have no found no record of any CIA contact or
contracts with Systematics, Inc. of Arkansas, nor any
information about the allegations that Systematics, Inc.
monitored or engaged in illegal activities.
5) We have found no record of a Charles Hayes who was a CIA
operative in Latin America or Central America.-
6) We have found no records of CIA activities at the Mena
airfield during the 1980's. CIA's Iran-Contra files were
searched and found no reference to Mena or its use by the
"private benefactors", a term used to refer to the
unauthorized Contra support operation run by Oliver North.
7) Adler Berriman "Barry" Seal has been the subject of
several CIA records searches over the past decade, most
recently in June 1995 at the request of HPSCI. No records
of any contact with Seal or information about his alleged
activities has ever been discovered during these searches.
 Our searches did determine that a person named Lawrence D.
Brown, DOB 2 Oct 1958, applied for CIA employment in 1988.
Following routine processing his application was rejected in
November 1988. Without further biographic information, we
cannot determine if this is the same L.D. Brown mentioned in
the articles.
from the Office of Inspector General will
aaaress,ciie o her issues mentioned in your letter.
