Presidential press conferences

Published: March 20, 1987, 5:24 p.m.

Beleaguered Reagan holds his first press conference for months on the thorny subject of Iran-Contra. The sound quality on this recording is variable/poor. This archive edition of Letter from America was recorded by one of two listeners, who between them taped and labelled over 650 Letter From America programmes from 1973 to 1989. It was restored by the BBC in 2014.
