that it was rumored that CARTER promised some other things
to the Libyans but these Promises were not made in front
of him.

and TOM JORDAN were in a continual battle to outdo one another
to impress the Libyans and RANDY COLEMAN, CARTER's aide, .
spent some of his time keeping them apart. LEANZA. described
JORDAN as acting like a “monkey" and HUDGINS as a “better
man."

gift on the trip which he refused. He stated however, BILLY
CARTER was given a silver mounted saddle and a gold one
to give to his brother, the President. The gold saddle,

the trip and this caused a great deal of excitement. fhe
Saddle was eventually located, however. LEANZA did not
know if it was delivered to the President. He also stated
that BILLY CARTER and his friend, RANDY COLEMAN, were drunk
during the entire stay in Tripoli and it appeared to him

of whiskey to Tripoli from Rome.
