Newly obtained Justice Department memos show that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. was told about the controversial "Fast and Furious" weapons investigation as early as July 2010, apparently contradicting testimony he gave before a House committee in May saying he learned of the operation just weeks earlier.

A July 10, 2010, memo to Mr. Holder from Michael Walther, director of the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC), specifically identifies the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives-led Fast and Furious operation, says when it began, names the federal law enforcement agencies involved, and identifies the major investigative targets.

The memo, sent to Mr. Holder through the office of the acting deputy attorney general, also notes that the operation involved a Phoenix-based firearms-trafficking ring and says "straw purchasers" were responsible for buying 1,500 firearms "that were then supplied to Mexican drug-trafficking cartels."

The Walther memo also says the straw buyers had direct ties to the Sinaloa drug cartel, "which is suspected of providing $1 million for the purchase of firearms in the greater Phoenix area." A straw buyer is someone who purchases a weapon for someone who is unable to buy it himself.

The memo, first reported by CBS News, prompted calls Tuesday from Capitol Hill Republicans for a special prosecutor and led the White House to claim Mr. Holder misunderstood the questions, rather than lied, during the May congressional testimony.

His comment came in response to a question from Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, who has been investigating the operation for several months and had asked the Justice Department on several occasions without success for more information.

"I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks," Mr. Holder testified.
