INTRO: U-S SENATE REPUBLICANS SAY THE COUNTRY'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS
LABS ARE STILL NOT SECURE, IN THE WAKE OF WHAT OFFICIALS CALL A
MAJOR ESPIONAGE CASE. V-O-A'S DAVID SWAN REPORTS.
TEXT: IN THE PARTY'S WEEKLY RADIO ADDRESS, SENATOR JOHN KYL KEPT
UP A DRUMBEAT OF OPPOSITION ATTACKS OVER CHINA'S ALLEGED SPYING
AND THE ADMINISTRATION'S RESPONSE.
// KYL ACT //
IT'S HARD TO OVERSTATE THE DAMAGE THAT HAS ALREADY
OCCURRED TO AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY.
// END ACT //
REPUBLICANS CHARGE THE WHITE HOUSE WAS SLOW TO REACT TO THE CASE
AND IS STILL BATTLING REFORMS. A RECENT CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY
FOUND BEIJING OBTAINED SECRET DATA ON ALL THE NATION'S NUCLEAR
WARHEADS AND ITS MISSILES.
// KYL ACT //
FOR AMERICANS THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE 13 OF CHINA'S 18
LONG-RANGE NUCLEAR MISSILES ARE TARGETED ON MAJOR U-S
CITIES.
// END ACT //
MR. KYL AND HIS COLLEAGUES ARE PUSHING FOR REORGANIZATION OF THE
ENERGY DEPARTMENT, WHICH OVERSEES THE LABS. THE ADMINISTRATION
ARGUES IT HAS ALREADY TIGHTENED SECURITY. CHINA HAS REPEATEDLY
DENIED SPYING. (SIGNED)
