-Caveat Lector- : : The Claremont Institute--PRECEPTS | | May 3, 1999 : Visit <http://www.claremont.org> | | No. 161 : : As we fight in Kosovo, where dangers multiply and success : recedes, steps are neglected that can secure our freedom : from attack at home. Reports abound that America's stock : of cruise missiles runs perilously low, and no assembly : line is producing more. The president has committed to : ballistic missile defense, and yet he takes no urgent steps : to complete a practical system and get it into operation. : : Meanwhile, China and Iraq give assistance to North Korea, a : primitive and brutal place, in its effort to develop the : means of direct and devastating attack upon the United : States. : : How has China managed this? With nothing less than the best : technology the United States has to offer. : : By now there can be no doubt that China possesses data on : the most sophisticated nuclear warheads in our nuclear : arsenal. These data the Chinese stole. Chinese spies were : permitted to run amok in America's most secret research : laboratories. But possessing critical data about warheads : was not enough. The rest--that is, the technological means : of delivering those warheads--was sold to China by American : firms with export permits issued by the United States : Department of Commerce. : : One thing is pending that would clear the air and give the : assurance that the president is in favor of something more : than mere posturing in defense policy. The Cox Select : Committee has found unanimously that American national : security has been compromised in our recent dealings with : the People's Republic of China. And yet the details of that : report have not yet been released. The White House objects : that sources of intelligence will be revealed if too many : details are disclosed. : : Remember that the report of the Cox Select Committee is a : bipartisan document. Every Democrat and every Republican : voted in favor of the report. We need this information in : order to make sure that the disasters we have suffered in : intelligence and counter-intelligence are not repeated. : The White House could establish its bona fides by : cooperating in its prompt release. : : Today's _Washington Times_ contains an interesting article, : with further details on this story.
