'''Duane Ramsdell "Dewey" Clarridge''' was an American senior operations officer for the [[CIA]] and supervisor for more than 30 years. Clarridge was the chief of the Latin American division from 1981 to 1987 and a key figure in the [[Iran-Contra]] operation.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/duane-dewey-clarridge-cia-official-enmeshed-in-iran-contra-affair-dies-at-83/2016/04/11/78979470-ff90-11e5-9203-7b8670959b88_story.html</ref>
 
 
 
===Iran-Contra===
 
Clarridge has said that he had no involvement in the later illegal diversion of funds to the Contras or the subsequent [[Iran-Contra|cover-up]].{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} Clarridge was indicted in November 1991 on seven counts of perjury and false statements. On Christmas Eve 1992 in the waning hours of his presidency, [[George H. W. Bush]] pardoned Clarridge before his trial could finish. At the same time, Bush pardoned five of Clarridge's associates in the [[Iran-Contra Affair]] including former [[United States Secretary of Defense|Defense Secretary]] [[Caspar Weinberger]], [[Elliott Abrams]], a former assistant secretary of state for Inter-American affairs; former [[National Security Advisor (United States)|National Security Advisor]] [[Robert McFarlane]]; and former CIA employees [[Alan Fiers]] and [[Clair George]]. The final version of the Walsh Report concluded that "there was strong evidence that Clarridge’s testimony was false." <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB462/|title=Iran-Contra: Lawrence Walsh's Contribution to History|website=nsarchive.gwu.edu|access-date=2016-04-11}}</ref>
