Top U.S. Energy Dept. Official Resigns


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Victor Reis, the assistant Secretary of Energy for
Defense Programs, resigned his office effective July 30, an agency
spokeswoman said Saturday.

``He did resign, yes,'' said the DOE spokeswoman, who asked to remain
unidentified.

Reis, who oversees U.S. nuclear weapons development, is one of the officials
at the center of the swelling controversy involving allegations that China
stole American nuclear secrets. He submitted his resignation to President
Clinton, who appointed him in 1993, the spokeswoman said.

Earlier, The Washington Post quoted some U.S. officials as saying Reis
resigned because of disagreements with Energy Secretary Bill Richardson over
the future safeguarding of U.S. nuclear weapons research.

Reis wanted to create a semi-autonomous nuclear agency that would improve
management at the country's nuclear weapons facilities, the newspaper said.

The Energy Dept. spokeswoman could not confirm that report. ''He gave no
reasons for his resignation in his letter,'' of resignation, she said.

So far, Richardson has not commented on Reis's resignation, the spokeswoman
said.

Last month, a congressional panel said that China had stolen crucial secrets
from U.S. nuclear laboratories during the last 20 years. For their part,
Chinese officials said they have stolen no U.S. nuclear secrets.--
"Those who want to hear the voice of pagan gods in wind or thunder, who want
to see the fairies dance in the moonlight, who can believe that faith can
move mountains, can follow the thread on the pages of this book. It is a
fragile thread; it cannot bear the weight of facts and dates"
