                           CHINESE ESPIONAGE

  (Mr. WICKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WICKER. Mr. Speaker, this headline from the New York Times says 
it all: China Stole Nuclear Secrets for Bombs. Although the bipartisan 
Cox report on Chinese espionage will not be officially released until 
tomorrow, we already know enough that all Americans should be outraged.
  According to Chairman Cox, the threat to our security from this major 
intelligence catastrophe will not be years into the future but within 
the next few months. Look to the Chinese Communist government to begin 
testing nuclear ICBMs within a few months, using United States nuclear 
secrets. While our law enforcement officials were asleep, our national 
security was compromised. It is not just Attorney General Janet Reno. 
The entire Clinton-Gore administration owes the United States public an 
explanation for this outrage.
