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.
