...through the House-would have subjected intelligence operations by agencies like the Pentagon and FBI to "coordination" under a process to be developed by CIA director Porter Goss and director of national intelligence John Negroponte. The move would have represented a victory for the CIA in the intel turf battles that have occasionally erupted with Pentagon and FBI intelligence operations-though officials at the CIA, the Defense Department and the FBI insist conflicts are rare and coordination is already being improved. But Hoekstra says House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter objected that the legislation would unduly expand Negroponte...

Some 64,000 semiconductor employees have been laid off in the past ten months, a toll that equals 19% of the industry's U.S. work force. The top five chip producers, including Intel, Motorola and Advanced Micro Devices, lost a total of $195 million in the quarter ending in September, and the red ink keeps flowing...
...companies have been mounting legal efforts to strike back. Three Silicon Valley firms, Intel, National Semiconductor and Advanced Micro Devices, complained to the Government in September that their Japanese rivals are selling certain types of chips in the U.S. at artificially low prices. Last week the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled that the Commerce Department should open a probe of the matter. The U.S. manufacturers want a fair shake in the Japanese market as well. The Semiconductor Industry Association formally complained to the U.S. Trade Representative last June that Japan was blocking access to its markets. Japanese companies deny both...
