A day or two days before January 28: National Security Council Official Puts Pressure on CIA Official to Include Africa-Uranium Allegation in Powell’s UN SpeechRobert G. Joseph, director for nonproliferation at the National Security Council (NSC), telephones Alan Foley, director of the CIA’s Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation, and Arms Control Center (WINPAC), and mentions plans to include the Africa-uranium claim in Bush’s upcoming State of the Union address. When Foley warns that the allegation has little evidence to support it, Joseph instead suggests including a statement about the British learning that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa, leaving out the bit about Niger and the exact quantity of uranium that was allegedly sought.
Joseph claims he does not recall the discussion and White House communications director Dan Bartlett calls Foley’s version of events a “conspiracy theory.”
