Mr. BELNICK: Now, sometime during the afternoon on Friday, November 21, 1986, did Colonel North hand you several documents and ask you to make changes?

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: Would you describe generally what he handed to you and what he asked you to do?

Ms. HALL: I was sitting at my desk, and he came outside his office and handed me three or four original System 4 packages with changes indicated on them, I believe, in red or blue, I think—I am not sure—and asked me to make the changes, and I did so.

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: And they were handwritten changes on original 4 documents?

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: So, as far as you knew where had those original System 4 documents been up until that point?

Ms. HALL: I have no idea, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: Did you recognize them as completed documents?

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: So that, ordinarily those documents would have the original files maintained by the System 4 security officer right next door to your office, correct?

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: Who by that time in November was Brian Merchant?

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: Did you recognize the handwriting on the original, System 4 documents that Colonel North gave you?

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: Whose handwriting was it?

Ms. HALL: Colonel North's.

Mr. BELNICK: Up until that time, Ms. Hall, had you ever been asked by Colonel North or anyone else to make changes to original, completed System 4 documents?

Ms. HALL: I don't believe so, sir.

Mr. BELNICK: Did you make the changes that Colonel North indicated?

Ms. HALL: Yes.

Mr. BELNICK: And did you destroy the marked-up originals that Colonel North gave you with the changes written in?

Ms. HALL: Yes, I did.

Mr. BELNICK: Did Colonel North ask you to destroy those marked-up originals?

Ms. HALL: I don't know if he told me to destroy them or if I destroyed them on my own initiative.

Mr. BELNICK: You understand from the circumstances exactly what you were expected to do?

Ms. HALL: Yes, sir.
