-Caveat Lector- 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.
