Clinton OKs Chinese Rocket Launch

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Clinton removed the last roadblock Monday from
the launch of a Chinese rocket carrying a satellite into space next month for
the U.S.-led Iridium global paging and telephone network.

In a required report to Congress, Clinton certified that the export of
satellite fuels and separation systems for the communications system would
not harm U.S. interests. The launch is scheduled for June 7.

Specifically, Clinton said the exports were not detrimental to the U.S. space
launch industry. Further, he said the material and equipment ``will not
measurably improve the missile or space launch capabilities'' of China.

U.S. participation in China's decade-old commercial satellite launching
industry has been under fire for more than a year. Politicians and defense
officials have accused China of gleaning information from U.S. companies to
improve the accuracy of its missiles -- a charge Beijing has repeatedly
denied.
