Just looking at the list of products in that "Riegle Report". Not a lot there to get bothered about - just diagnostic screening samples, kind of thing any medical school would have. Nothing much you can do with the materials listed. Quantities are insignificant.
Given its done by US Congress I would expect any report to be er lacking in certain facts to protect the national interest.

Also not that nothing available pre 1985 which is the 2 years post Donnie Rumsfelds visit.

Remember these are public companies, the CIA run quite a few shelf companies who don't appear on the radar. Some financial commentators think that in the US the CIA etc have a significant piece of US business overusing its influence to its own ends.

Interesting that Zapata was name of Bush 1 company which was an oil company will alledged CIA links now owned by Glazer family and Operation Zapata was Bay of Pigs
