Volume II reviews CIA records on hundreds of Contra organizations and individuals and finds several dozen Contra-related individuals and one Contra organization (the ADREN '15th of September' group) subject to drug-trafficking allegations or information. It finds no information that CIA or its employees conspired with or assisted Contra-related drug trafficking to raise funds, and also finds that CIA acted inconsistently when it received such allegations, did not inform Congress of eight of ten Contra-related individuals during the period of the FY 1987 statutory prohibition, and had no published regulations on contacts with suspected traffickers outside counternarcotics operations. States that it was not intended to prove or disprove the allegations.

- Second quote for the other direction, same section 'Key Findings': 'No information has been found to indicate that CIA as an organization or its employees conspired with, or assisted, Contra-related organizations or individuals in drug trafficking to raise funds for the Contras or for any other purpose.' Introduction: 'The investigation on which Volume II is based was not intended to prove or disprove the allegations or information received by the Agency concerning possible drug trafficking by specific individuals or organizations.' Mirror copy; the IRP text has OCR-style garbling in the 'six cases' sentence, so read that sentence in the cia.gov capture before quoting.
