administration labs weapons
Since 1998, the Administration has begun to upgrade counterintelligence and security at U.S. weapons labs.
house hearing revelations
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.
technology community levels
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.
tools machines computer
China has legally purchased high performance computers, advanced machine tools, and semiconductor-manufacturing equipment from several American companies.
military past technology
The Cox Committee found that the Chinese military acquired many of the technologies over the past seven years, although many of them had been targeted for acquisition for more than a quarter century.
government design nuclear
The committee discloses that even after the U.S. government learned of the diversion of U.S. designs for nuclear warheads in late 1995, the Clinton Administration failed to take steps immediately to improve security.
technology policy-making issues
I am in the process of trying to decide whether I can make a substantive and productive contribution to the policy-making process. I was always there because I wanted to work on the pressing issues of the day - I'm interested in energy, I'm interested in the climate bill and technology policy.
thinking government long
But I think the global economy will understand that the United States has the ability to meet its obligations. But it's not going to be able to do it over the long term if we can't control the growth of government.
debt way ceilings
Most of the major increases in the debt ceiling have been accompanied by structural changes in the way we raise and spend money.
differences support economy
There is a difference between strategic or technical default and default where you really don't have the economy to support the spending. We are not at that point yet. We could be. We could be, like some European nations.
years four stories
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.
technology design administration
Why did the Clinton Administration continue to liberalize export controls on sensitive technologies even after it learned that China had stolen designs?
defense energy program
The Intelligence Committee will also examine present counterintelligence programs for the Department of Energy, the National Laboratories, and the Department of Defense.
technology labs weapons
The committee's finding that China stole sensitive technology from U.S. weapons research labs is alarming.
