In its report, the Cox Committee concludes that China is using stolen U.S. design information to speed up its deployment of a new nuclear missile force.

The Intelligence Committee will also examine present counterintelligence programs for the Department of Energy, the National Laboratories, and the Department of Defense.

As a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, I will be participating in several hearings on the startling revelations contained in the report.

The United States government first learned of the diversion of the W-88 nuclear warhead design in late 1995.

The committee's finding that China stole sensitive technology from U.S. weapons research labs is alarming.

For four years, I listened to stories of intelligence failures, and it wasn't due to incompetence of anyone in the system, but that the system is so arcane.

U.S. nuclear technology is one of this nation's most valuable secrets, and it should have been protected.

But the technology was accessible, which suggests incompetence on the part of our counterintelligence community and the Clinton Administration, and may in fact rise to the level of treason.

China has legally purchased high performance computers, advanced machine tools, and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment from several American companies.

The U.S. government knew that China wanted to acquire sensitive U.S. technology, and instead of implementing a policy to prevent them from acquiring the information, the government all but gave them an invitation to take our equipment and designs.
