One of the companies Reed worked with in Arkansas was a small manufacturer of parking meters called [[Park On Meter]] Inc., located in the town of Russellville. Reed claimed that the company was secretly manufacturing parts for M-16 rifles as a subcontractor on a CIA weapons project to supply the Contras.[^1]

### Washington Post Investigation
The *Washington Post* sent a reporter to Arkansas in 1994 to investigate Reed's story. While the resultant article was a snide attempt to portray Reed as a crackpot conspiracy theorist, it nonetheless confirmed many of the basic elements of his story. "Some of the key relationships described in the book did exist in some form," the Post grudgingly admitted. "The Iver Johnson arms company near Little Rock, which the book portrays as being at the center of the gun-manufacturing effort, did ship a load of weapons to [[Nicaragua]] through a Mexican distributor, according to former plant engineer J. A. Matejko." Moreover, the Post found, the parking meter company Reed named "did make some gun parts for Iver Johnson, another relationship characterized in the book as part of the CIA weapons scheme." But the Post scoffed that the parts were "firing pins, not M-16 bolts as the book contends."[^1]
