		Civiletti readily admitted one error: telling reporters initially that he had "never talked about Billy's Libyan connection with the President." He said that he had thought the question referred to a "substantive discussion," not a "brief conversation." Said Civiletti: "I replied, 'No.' I was wrong in attempting to draw such a close, lawyer-like distinction."
		Civiletti told the Senators that he could not recall telling Lisker to delay the investigation of Billy but, if he did so, it was only to give the President's brother more time to register.
		The explanation left many Senators unsatisfied, as did Civiletti's defense of his decision not to pass on to Justice Department investigators a report in mid-April from CIA Director Stansfield Turner that Billy was negotiating with Libya on behalf of Charter Oil Co. and that the Libyans might be making a payment to Billy.
