Gore Ties China Spying To Previous Administration
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Vice President Al Gore said Tuesday China's
alleged theft of American nuclear secrets happened during a ``previous
administration'' and President Clinton's government had acted to fix the
problem.
Gore also told CNN's ``Late Edition'' in an interview to be aired Tuesday
evening that the United States would continue to pursue a relationship with
China aimed at encouraging further steps toward democracy.
Referring to allegations China had stolen secrets used to make small nuclear
warheads from the United States during the 1980s, Gore said, ``This happened
in the previous administration, and the law enforcement agencies have pressed
it, and pursued it aggressively with our full support.''
He said during the course of the investigation Clinton had issued a ``brand
new presidential directive that fixed problems we had inherited and changed
and vastly improved the security procedures.''
Portions of Gore's remarks on China were aired on CNN ahead of the full
interview broadcast and others were contained in a transcript provided by the
cable television network.
Gore is the highest ranking U.S. official to comment on the allegations, which
were disclosed in a New York Times article last Friday. Clinton Tuesday was on
the second day of a four-day trip to Central America.
