!I U.S. Had Early Tip<br />

On Iraqi Arms Deal<br />

By R. Jeffrey Smith<br />

Washington Post SeCl'ice<br />

WASHINGTON - The U.S. intelligence<br />

community knew that a<br />

company based in Britain was buy-<br />

. ing military-related equipment for<br />

Iraq as early as 1987, nearly three<br />

years before the company and its<br />

U.S.-based subsidiary were or<strong>de</strong>red<br />

shut by export authorities in both<br />

countries, according to U.S. government<br />

sources.<br />

Washington officials were told<br />

- by the MI-5 and MI-6 British intelligence<br />

agencies during the threeyear<br />

period what Matrix Churchill<br />

Corp. of Coventry was doing on<br />

, Iraq's behalf, the sources said. London<br />

had recruited senior company<br />

officials as informants.<br />

The disclosure confirms suspicions<br />

voiced by opposition lawmakers<br />

in both London and Washington<br />

last year about the secr<strong>et</strong><br />

U.S.-British exchange of data on<br />

Iraq's arms procurement n<strong>et</strong>work<br />

before the 1991 Gulf War. It also<br />

again raises questions about why<br />

officials in both capitals stood by<br />

as Matrix Churchill supplied Baghdad<br />

with machine tools of value to<br />

Iraq's nuclear weapons program.<br />

Sources said the information given<br />

to Washington by the British<br />

initially consisted of finished intelligence<br />

reports that generally <strong>de</strong>scribed<br />

Matrix Churchill's activities.As<br />

early as March 1989, the<br />

information also inclu<strong>de</strong>d raw reports<br />

<strong>de</strong>rived from secr<strong>et</strong> interviews<br />

by British agents with Paul<br />

Hen<strong>de</strong>rson, the company's managing<br />

director, and Mark Gulteridge,<br />

its export sales manager.<br />

The CIA disseminated this information<br />

to policymakers in the Reagan<br />

and Bush administrations beginning<br />

in December 1987, two<br />

months after Matrix Churchill was<br />

bought by an Iraqi-controlled company,<br />

the sources said. Previous reports<br />

had traced the agency's information<br />

back only as far aS,June<br />

1989.<br />

The secr<strong>et</strong> data exchange was<br />

hinted at in a Feb. 5 report by the<br />

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence<br />

about the Bush administration's<br />

mishandling of intelligence<br />

information about Iraq. The report<br />

said multiple raw intelligence reports<br />

received by the CIA "<strong>de</strong>scnbed<br />

the activities of Matrix<br />

Churchill as part of the lraqi<br />

worldwi<strong>de</strong> procurement n<strong>et</strong>work,"<br />

but Britain was not i<strong>de</strong>ntified as<br />

the source.<br />
