He was told that Wise could not recall the conversation and that he reviewed his telephone logs beginning in October 1978 thru January 1979, but no call from Billy Carter was logged in. Carter responded by saying that he made the call, he thinks that the person Wise put him in touch with had a name sounding like ~ "Whitehorse or Whitehurst" but he cannot be sure. He said further that Wise probably would not log in calls to him. When questioned about his activities for the Libyans, | Carter denied doing anything for them. He said he felt they. a os loaned him the $200,000 because they genuinely liked and respected |. him because he was outspoken in their defense and in his , criticisms of the media and its domination by certain Zionist elements. Carter was then.asked if he had any other negotiations pending with the Libyans. He said that he had another matter pending in which he represented what he thought was a U.S. oil corporation.
