...Chinese general would rely on the validity of stolen designs alone to build and deploy new nuclear weapons. Instead the time-honed technical expertise found in the U.S. codes could allow savvy foreign scientists to measure the punch packed by weapons they already possess without actually testing them.

Finally the aides left the President alone to decide whether to deploy the Army's air cavalry. A few minutes later, Clinton summoned Cohen and Shelton back in. "I want to go with the Apaches," he said...
