William Bradford Reynolds served as the Assistant United States Attorney General in the Civil Rights Division of the United States Department of Justice.
In a document dated May 16, 1985, which Reynolds signed, William F. Weld, United States Attorney in Boston, Massachusetts, was advised that the PROMIS software was being provided to an Arab Sheik for resale and general distribution.1
Bill Hamilton, owner of INSLAW, received this document in November 2004 from a reliable U.S. intelligence source. Donald Carr showed the document to Reynolds in 2005, and Reynolds authenticated it. Reynolds stated that Lowell Jensen's secretary brought the letter to him for signature because Jensen was unavailable, and the letter needed to be sent that day and signed by someone in Edwin Meese's inner circle. He recalled signing the letter but not drafting it. Reynolds also had a vague recollection that Edwin Meese recused himself on PROMIS when he became United States Attorney General in February 1985, leading Jensen to handle PROMIS. Reynolds independently remembered Richard Armitage, Adnan Khashoggi, and Manucher Ghorbanifar working together on PROMIS.1
