The documents discovered in the American embassy (very confidential) General Tofanian stated that he wanted to clarify one issue, and that is that although American companies have enough publicity and have attracted everyone's attention, the same is true of other representative companies. It is also true for countries, especially Germany, France, England, and Belgium. He once again said that the Shah is not against free and correct trade, but he cannot remain indifferent to corruption and fraud in the field of defense contracts. This "holy guidance" includes everyone who will treat everyone equally. Document No. (13) Grumman Iran Tehran, Iran (Associated Press) Deputy Minister of War General Hasan Tofanian stated on Saturday that Grumman company has covered Iran's head by allocating 28 million dollars for sales commission. He threatened to prosecute this company and take this money out of its throat. In a press conference in front of Iranian reporters, Tofanian said: Grumman company pocketed this money. He added that as a result of the negotiations, Grumman has agreed to return 18 million dollars to Iran, but Iran wants to receive the entire amount of 28 million dollars. Grumman said on Betapage at its headquarters in New York on Tuesday that negotiations are underway between the company and the Iranian government to determine who should pay the $28 million to intermediaries in exchange for the sale of 2/ 2 billion dollars of Tomcat F-14 aircrafts will be paid and received. Grumman's spokesperson denied published reports that his company has agreed to pay the commission directly to the Iranian government. Tofanian claims that based on the existing contract, Grumman had agreed that the desired sales would be made without any intermediaries, and in addition, he had signed a statement in this regard, but despite this, he claimed to pay the commission to two He is the Iranian brother of Parviz and Mansour Lavi.

Byrworth stated that the company and Iran have agreed that the payment of 28 million dollars will now become a legal matter, he said that Grumman will fulfill its legal obligations after the issues are resolved.
