...knows every sinkhole in the regulatory swamp. Ignore him at your peril--as executives of Space Systems/Loral found out. A 700-page report to be issued this week by a select House committee chaired by Republican Representative CHRISTOPHER COX of California tells how, on April 11, 1996, Bryen warned Loral President Robert Berry not to give China any technical help without first getting State Department permission. Berry had just announced the assignment of top company engineer Wah Lim to head a panel of Western scientists who would advise China on possible causes of three rocket failures, the most recent...

...negligence (and that of its predecessors) has spawned a new Evil Empire, a threat to the nuclear world order, a legitimate contender for the geopolitical throne. In 2003, go the national-security nabobs, China will have a new and improved generation of nuclear weapons, all thanks to Bill Clinton, Loral and Wen Ho Lee. And all the Pentagon will have to do is cross out USSR and write in PRC -- and aim everything in the arsenal a little to the right...

...almost nothing to alert Wah Lim, according to the report. On May 7, 1996, without informing State, Lim assistant Nick Yen faxed the panel's draft conclusions to scientists in Beijing. Soon after, the rockets' reliability improved dramatically. State and Defense Department officials found out about the Loral fax, went ballistic and called in the Justice Department. Loral executives insist the fax was a clerical error, but federal and congressional investigators want answers: Did Loral VIPs deliberately choose not to know too much so China could get what it wanted...

...delivered to the White House last month suggests a stunning espionage effort being coordinated from Beijing, whose spy rings have been stealing secrets in the U.S. for 20 years. The congressional committee set out six months ago to probe allegations that two U.S. aerospace companies, Hughes Electronics Corp. and Loral Space & Communications, provided China with critical rocket-design information that helped improve its ballistic missiles.
