S A N  J O S E, Calif., July 24 — Wen Ho Lee’s wife worked for the CIA, a
revelation that could undermine the government’s case against the scientist
accused of breaching security at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the San Jose
Mercury News reported Sunday.

      Citing unnamed congressional, intelligence and other sources, the
newspaper said Sylvia Lee supplied information about Chinese scientists to a
CIA officer when she was a secretary at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the
1980s. She worked as liaison between the lab and visiting delegations, the
newspaper said.

     Also, the newspaper said, Wen Ho Lee, who worked at the lab for nearly
20 years, and his wife met with a CIA official before they went to China in
1986, a trip federal prosecutors have called suspicious.

     CIA spokesman Bill Harlow told The Associated Press he had not seen the
article.
     “I can’t discuss specifics of it because it is a matter currently before
the courts,” Harlow said, “but I can assure you she didn’t work for the CIA.”

Case Still in Flux
Wen Ho Lee’s lawyer Mark Holscher has portrayed Lee and his wife as loyal
Americans who did undercover work for the FBI.

     A call to Holscher’s office was not immediately returned Sunday. Wen Ho
Lee attorney John Cline declined to comment, and another Wen Ho Lee attorney,
Brian Sun, declined comment until he could talk to his clients. The U.S.
Attorney’s office also could not be reached on Sunday.

     Lee is jailed in New Mexico awaiting a November trial on charges that he
mishandled classified data. Although he has been investigated for spying, he
has not been charged with espionage.

     For a conviction, prosecutors must convince a jury that Lee took data
with the intent to harm the United States or aid another country.

     Sylvia Lee has not been charged.
