In ambiguous situations—i.e. was 1 September 1976 the date of signing or the date for establishing the Centre?—Heikal's version is preferred, since this is the original source. (Does Heikal discuss the Safari Club in texts beyond Iran: The Untold Story in 1982?)
Expansion of Shaba airlift to come at some point.
Seeking sources/clarity about many factual questions. More details about Shackley's involvement would be good. Also seeking more information on Mount Kenya Safari Club (and, according to Scott, the meeting that took place there).
Arabic, French or Farsi versions of the article? (Or related articles? Or sources?)
Pictures of some of the officers who signed?

What became of this group? Does it still exist? Did it 'die out' after the fall of Iran (or early Reagan years)?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mukogodo (talk • contribs) 18:14, 6 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
