COX REPORT BOMBSHELL: UNCLASSIFIED VERSION SAYS CHINA STOLE 'CROWN JEWELS OF
OUR NUCLEAR ARSENAL'
Coming in a few weeks, The Cox Report. Running about 700 pages, with 12
chapters and 38 recommendations, the findings of a high-profile
congressional committee's investigation into Chinese spying in America
concludes not only that China stole "the crown jewels of our nuclear
arsenal" during the last 20 years but that the espionage "continues to this
very day."
NY TIMES reporter Jeff Gerth has been fed and moves an exclusive in
Wednesday editions:
"A scientist suspected of spying for China improperly transferred huge
amounts of secret data from a computer system at a government laboratory,
compromising virtually every nuclear weapon in the United States arsenal."
Gerth breaks: "The data -- millions of lines of computer code that
approximate how this country's atomic warheads work -- were downloaded from
a computer system at the Los Alamos, N.M., weapons lab that is open only to
those with top-level security clearances... Lee then transferred the files
to a widely accessible computer network at the lab, where they were stored
under other file names."
President Clinton was first told of the development on March 31... MORE
Cox tells Wednesday's LOS ANGELES TIMES that theft of secrets from America's
nuclear weapons laboratories relied on a network of Chinese agents
specifically tasked to help China's military modernization efforts.
"It involves many people, many of whom we have yet to meet," Cox tells the
paper.
Cox says that visits "by hundreds of Chinese scientists and other officials
to the Los Alamos National Laboratory and other nuclear weapons facilities
each year provided a cover for Chinese spy handlers."
But in addition to gathering sensitive information at Los Alamos, spies
working for the People's Republic of China obtained classified U.S. nuclear
weapons information at four other American laboratories, reports Rebecca
Carr in fresh editions of the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION. Cox declined to
identify the labs.
But even thought the report was unanimously approved by its five Republican
and four Democratic members in late December -- political fireworks have now
erupted.
Rep. Norm Dicks of Washington, the committee's top-ranking Democrat,
disputes Cox's account.
"We didn't interview any of these spies," he tells reports.

"There are a lot of very brilliant people who believe that the nation-state
is fast becoming a relic of the past."
