A "SMOKING GUN" #1? - NATIONAL SECURITY (CHINA MISSILES)
Five years ago China could not target missiles to the US. Now, 13 of their 18 are targeted at the US. Guidance technology from Loral & Hughes made that possible. The Department of Justice was in the process of investigating when the President approved the transfer of such technology (after the fact.) Hot Seat technology has been moved from Department of State to the Department of Commerce. Bernard Schwartz, CEO of Loral was the largest individual donor to the Democrats in 96. China is one subject of ongoing investigation into illegal campaign contributions to DNC and Clinton/Gore.
A "SMOKING GUN" #2? - FOREIGN CONTRIBUTIONS (CHINA)
Solicited and accepted by Johnny Chung, China’s People’s Liberation Army contributed to the Clinton campaign. In June 1996 Chung met Liu Chao-Ying, daughter of an influential military and communist party elitist. She worked for a company owned by the Chinese military. She was specially educated. Chung arranged a visa on July 11, 1996, she arrived 10 days later. In between, Chung made a DNC contribution for access to two fund-raisers, she had her picture taken with Clinton. Father and daughter wanted a relaxation of American regulations to permit shooting rockets with U.S. satellites and to buy advanced technology to make it possible to deliver nuclear warheads. The Clinton administration gave that permission. Hot seat technology was moved from Department of State to the Department of Commerce. Juan Huang worked at Commerce at the time the permission was granted. Huang was granted top secret clearance (without usual background checks) 5 months before Commerce and kept it for a year after leaving.
A "SMOKING GUN" #3? - SUBVERSION (EXPORTS STATE TO COMMERCE)
In 1995 Hughes Electronics CEO (C. Michael Armstrong) - head of Clinton’s export council - urged Secretary of State Warren Christopher that satellites no longer be treated as military goods. On 2/6/96 Clinton approved 4 applications for launches. On the same day, Wang Jun ("Chinese arms dealer") met with Ron Brown and had coffee with Clinton. On 2/15/96 a State Department memo said "the administration wanted to wrap this up." On 3/14/96 Commerce email recommended a low key spin on the news to "not draw attention to the decision." State Department issued regulations shifting most satellite licensing to Commerce on 11/5/96, the day Clinton was re-elected.
A "SMOKING GUN" #4? - FOREIGN CONTRIBUTIONS/OBSTRUCTION (CHINA)
Trie channeled more than $1.2 million to the DNC and to President Clinton's legal defense fund, all of which was returned on the suspicion it was foreign-tainted. At least $1 million was wired to Trie from Asian banks. Keshi Zhan, who earns $22,408 annually as a municipal employee was called Trie’s social secretary. Her mother, Ying Qun Ma, is a retired senior Chinese government official and her father, Fan Zhan, has been a professor of Russian linguistics at prestigious Beijing University. Keshi Zhan held a joint bank account with Trie and Shao Zhengkang, a senior executive of a corporation owned by the Chinese State Council, the government's highest administrative body. She also had signatory authority over funds held by Ng Lap Seng, a Macao-based business partner of Trie's, that were used to make political contributions to the Democratic National Committee. A deposit of $12,500 from a Trie-Ng account was made to the joint Trie-Zhan-Shao account in February 1996, on the same day, Zhan made a $12,500 contribution to the DNC with funds from the Trie-Zhan-Shao account. Shao is a high-ranking officer of China Everbright in Hong Kong and Beijing, which is wholly owned by the Chinese State Council. Zhan shared another joint account on behalf of Trie with Shao and Su Yonghi, a former Chinese Embassy attache in Washington. Democrats on the investigating committee refused to grant immunity to Keshi Zhan for her testimony.
A "SMOKING GUN" #5? - NATIONAL SECURITY (PANAMA)
In a May 4 1998 Panamanian Presidential candidate William Bright Marine wrote about the "…fact that the Clinton administration has allowed Communist China to obtain control of U.S. ports, U.S. bases, and functions of the Panama Canal…" Law #5 grants Hutchinson-Whampoa Ltd: responsibility for hiring new pilots, control over critical Atlantic/Pacific anchorages, authority to control the order of ships and to deny ships access if they are interfering with Hutchinson’s business, right to unilaterally transfer its rights to a third party, right make certain public roads private. In law #5, if there is a conflict between the law and the provisions of the Canal treaty, the treaty prevails. In the deal, Hutchinson gets U.S. Naval Station Rodman; a portion of U.S. Air Station Albrook; Diablo; Balboa (Pacific); Cristobal (Atlantic); the Island of Telfers, a future home of the Chinese planned export zone. Hutchinson is controlled by Chinese communists - Hutchinson’s subsidiary HIT, or Panama Ports Company has business ventures with COSCO (Chinese army owned) and is 10% owned by China Resources Enterprise. Lippo is also connected to CRE. At the time Hutchinson obtained the Panama Canal ports, it moved to gain Subic Bay in the Philippines in the wake of U.S. departure.
A "SMOKING GUN" #6? - PERJURY, COVERUP (LEWINSKY)
The president has denied, under oath and in public statements, any sexual relations with Lewinsky. There are 20 hours of tape recordings between Lewinsky and Tripp, which details her affair with the president. Lewinsky proffer confirms a sexual relationship with him. Lewinsky told others about her encounters with the president. Others claim to have heard Clinton's messages left on her answering machine. The president gave Lewinsky gifts. Lewinsky sent courier packages to the president. Lewinsky turned the gifts over to Betty Currie, who gave them to Mr. Starr's investigators. Lewinsky made at least 37 visits to the White House after she was reassigned to the Pentagon, and Clinton met with her after she was subpoenaed by Jones. Currie was on vacation at times logged as being visited by Lewinsky.
A "SMOKING GUN" #7? - OBSTRUCTION (WHITEWATER)
President's deposition concerning Arkansas McDougal related bank fraud was denial. Susan McDougal's refusal to answer question "Did the president testify truthfully?" resulted in jail time. Bank documents found in trunk of abandoned car.
A "SMOKING GUN" #8? - SUBVERSION (BRAC-PRIVATIZATION)
Two months after signing the BRAC recommendations, Clinton said to workers at Kelly Air Force Base (San Antonio) "On July 1, you were dealt a serious blow when the independent Base Closing Commission said that we ought to shut Kelly down," said Clinton. "At my insistence, and my refusal to go along with that specific recommendation, the Air Force developed the Privatization-in-Place Plan that will keep thousands of jobs here at this depot."
A "SMOKING GUN" #9? - COVERUP (TRIPP/BACON)
Judicial Watch, Klayman: "Bacon testified that he told Cohen to correct it after the interview, because it creates the false impression that others, including himself, were not involved. And of course, we know--and Bacon admitted this--it was never corrected by the Defense Department or the Clinton Administration generally. But for Judicial Watch's deposition of Clifford Bernath, the coverup would have continued to this day. This implicates the Secretary of Defense in a coverup of the involvement of political appointees of the Clinton Administration in releasing Privacy Act information to harm Linda Tripp. That's the key point."
A "SMOKING GUN" #10? - MISAPPROPRIATION/COVERUP (CDFI)
South Shore Bank in Chicago in the 80’s caught the eye of the Clintons for their lending to run-down neighborhoods. Jan Piercy, Hillary’s roommate from Wellesley College, joined Shorebank as a top executive in 1984. The Clintons and Shorebank established the Southern Development Bankcorp in Arkadelphia in 1986. Hillary Clinton and Mack McLarty were on the board. It was formed with an investment from Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation, the Arkansas teachers pension fund, and a state corporation established by Governor Clinton. The bank and its subsidiaries used the Rose Law Firm. After Bill Clinton was elected president, the 1994 Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act created something called the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI), which was to be run by Treasury and which was to give $37 million to community development banks and nonprofit groups.
Shorebank got $4.5 million, the largest, Southern Development got $2 million, two other institutions related to Shorebank -- Kentucky's Louisville Development Bankcorp got $2.3 million and Douglass Bancorporation of Kansas City, Kansas -- got $1.9 million. The four institutions got about one-third of all the money. In routine investigation it was noted that these four institution’s evaluation forms were uniquely undated and were all handled by Steve Rohde personally and the applications were all prepared by Shorebank. An Ernst & Young examiner wrote, a senior CDFI official "instructed reviewers to emphasize positive information for those being 'passed' and to emphasize negative information for those 'failing.'"

COMMERCE A "CRIME"?
FOREIGN POLICY FAILURE? - ALERT #1 - RUSSIA/CHINA
After Viktor Mikhaylov was dismissed as the nuclear energy minister a struggle broke out between tycoons Vladimir Potanin and Boris Berezovskiy for fissile materials. Deputy Chairman of the State Duma's Committee on Conversion of the Defense Industry and High Technology Aleksandr Pomorov is calling to cancel the Russian-US agreement on the use of highly enriched uranium extracted from nuclear weapons. Announced January 1994, the Clinton policy had a US firm which was later privatized for the program and is at the heart of the problem. Vladimir Potanin is the head of Uneximbank and is in a 50-50 deal with Boris Jordan, an American, known as Renaissance Capital. Renaissance and Energiya, a subsidiary of Uneximbank, have a project known as Sea Launch, which is to be the next-door-neighbor of COSCO's new piece of real estate - the naval installation in Long Beach.
Sea launch is premised on the idea, that the closer you launch a rocket to the equator, the more fuel efficient it is because you can take advantage of the earth's rotation, an idea like building a mammoth drilling rig, put a rocket on it, and tow it down to the equator, and then launch it. Boeing is involved in Sea Launch along with Kvaerner, a huge Norwergian shipyard specializing in rigs. Sea Launch is tied to COSCO in the fact that Boris Nemtsov of the Chubais-Potanin-Jordan faction (Sea Launch) has become Boris Yeltsin's principal emissary to China.
FOREIGN POLICY FAILURE? - ALERT #2 - INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence officers have been forced to retire (or resign) by the Clinton Administration for operations which took place during the Reagan presidency. In no instance were these operations "outside the bounds"; all complied with US laws and statutes (and still do). This Administration, through budget changes, has reduced to a trickle the amount of "hard intelligence" being produced (good intelligence costs, whether the intelligence is garnered through human assets or "technology"). The ever-shrinking budget has forced the closing down of offices throughout the world, many of which provided extremely useful "pieces" to a much larger puzzle. The mainstream media has sided with Clinton in deriding the IC for their "failure" to warn the Administration regarding India's nuclear weapons testing. To the contrary, Clinton was warned well in advance - it is true that the specific office which was watching for the tests didn't catch the first one until it had already happened. This office used to work 24 hours a day 365 days a year; but due to the Administration’s budget cuts (and subsequent reduction in personnel) this office hasn't been working this schedule for the last four years. Mainstream media has neglected to mention that particular fact. All of the IC the FR source has served with have been men (and some women) of honor and integrity; all take the Constitution and the security of the US very, very seriously.
FOREIGN POLICY FAILURE? - ALERT #3 - FORCED LABOR
With the 1932 Amendment to the Tariff Act of 1930, the U.S. has legislatively banned imports of products made by "convict and/or forced labor." Before 1991, the U.S. twice banned products; once from the Soviet Gulag and another from a Mexican Prison. Since September 1991, the US has banned over 24 Laogai products, but has only taken legal action in 3 or 4 cases. During the Bush Administration, 20 detention orders were issued, in the first 3 years of the Clinton Administration 8 detention orders were issued.
FOREIGN POLICY FAILURE? - ALERT #4 - TAIWAN
Beijing demands Taiwan be reunified with China. After China’s Jiang visit in Nov 1997, Clinton urged Taipei to get on with negotiations with China. Taiwan declares itself a sovereign democracy. The last time Taiwan held national elections (1996) - China fired missiles into Taiwan’s waters, assembled a huge military operation and disrupted commerce. In reaction, the US sent carriers. Beijing then threatened a sea of fire if the US carriers entered the strait, and further warned of nuclear missiles on Los Angeles if the US defended Taiwan too much. China now has 13 of its 18 missiles targeted at the US.
June 4, 1998 - China President Jiang Zemin said he will seek confirmation of US pledges not to interfere in Tiawan. "The US side has very clearly pledged not to support … the independence of Taiwan or its re-admittance into international organizations." Chinese president Jiang Xemin said in a speech that the coming "liberation" of Taiwan was a "holy duty."
Beijing has long said its condition for cutting exports of missile and other military know-how to Pakistan and Iran is that America scale down its delivery of jet fighters and other weaponry to Taiwan. "Jiang will tell Clinton that if Washington wants Beijing's help in the nuclear stand-off, it should first stop arms sales to Taiwan, which, after all, is 'part of China'," according to a diplomat.

- Foreign Assistance Act (FAA)

FOREIGN POLICY FAILURE? - ALERT #6
- NUCLEAR ARMS RACE SOUTHERN ASIA
Clinton permitted the sale of satellite and missile technology to China. China provided nuclear assistance to Pakistan and Iran. That prompted India to boost its nuclear weapons program. And today Pakistan is once again upping the ante. "China has had a major hand in what happened today," said R. James Woolsey, former CIA director. Transfers: nuclear weapons design information, ring magnets, M-11 short-range missiles and equipment used in setting up a missile production facility, expertise, industrial furnace and high-tech diagnostic equipment with military applications. India has said that its nuclear tests were conducted in response to threats posed by China. China stepped up military cooperation with Pakistan in 1995 in retaliation for the United States' allowing Taiwan's president, Lee Teng-hui, to visit Cornell University. On June 4, 1998 - the Nihon Keizai Shimbun - a financial daily - reported that North Korea may have at least one nuclear bomb. The daily also quoted a report saying that the nuclear tests by India and Pakistan might tempt North Korea to resume its nuclear program. Pakistan and North Korea have close ties. China and Pakistan have close ties.
The U.S. Customs Service has opened
an investigation into the sale of super computer upgrades to India by
IBM, in violation of US export laws. U.S. law requires an American
company to obtain an export license before selling and shipping
overseas any computer that performs more than 2 billion operations
per second. The computer that was sold operated at 1.4 billion
operations per second when installed in 1994. The Clinton Commerce
Department oddly granted a license for the sale of the sensitive
computer, despite knowledge the buyer was a missile site. IBM then
upgraded it in March 1997 to perform 3.2 billion operations per
second and again in June 1997 to 5.8 billion, making it possibly the
most powerful computer in India.
Former UN Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick noted that the danger of
nuclear war is "greater now than any time since Hiroshima.." and that
President Clinton takes a "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil"
attitude toward nuclear proliferation.
According to a Pakistan news source, the nuclear blast has "created
new and interesting opportunities for the country to embark upon a
major foreign policy initiative in the Middle East and particularly
among the Gulf states… The growing Indo-Israeli relations can go
a long way in making through to the circles concerned the real Indian
designs in this region….It could mean Pakistan exports to the
region rising and could also mean more Pakistani manpower in the
region…"
FOREIGN POLICY FAILURE? - ALERT #7 - EXCEPTIONAL TECHNOLOGY FOR CHINA
Encryption expert Charles Smith
(Softwar) pointed out that neither Reagan nor Bush authorized the
transfer of encrypted satellite control systems to China. He also
pointed out that in 1994, Hughes was denied a license to export a
satellite to Australia because it contained a single encrypted
control chip; but Clinton allowed this sort of sensitive technical
information to be placed in both the Loral satellite which was
launched by the booster that crashed in Southern China in 1996 (with
the result that the control chip is missing) and a Motorola satellite
successfully launched by the Chinese. In 1995 he pointed out that
Clinton allowed Maneuvering Re-entry Vehicle (MARV) technology to be
sent to China on a Hughes satellite. Within a year the Chinese had
"tested" warheads using MARV technology off the coast of Taiwan. MARV
gives the incoming warhead the capability to evade anti-missile
defenses such as the U.S. Patriot missile. He also pointed out that
Clinton authorized the shipment of Iridium satellites to China by
Motorola in 1997 and 1998. The launch of multiple satellites on one
rocket requires technology that can be used in Multiple Independently
targeted Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV), that enable multiple warheads to
be carried on a single missile.
BCCI: CURIOUS INVESTIGATION
Pakistani banker Agha Hasan Abedi founded BCCI in 1972, it was incorporated in Luxembourg and expanded rapidly. By the early 1980s BCCI had become the preferred bank for such customers as the CIA, Colombian drugs cartels, arms smugglers and various third world dictators. By the mid-eighties, there was gathering evidence of financial irregularities, corruption and criminal involvement - an investigation ensued.
In December 1992, shortly after Clinton was elected, the Committee on Foreign Relations - US Senate produced a report that pointed out specific problems in the investigation and gave 20 specific areas which needed additional investigation (summarized below) The disposition of these issues is unknown. All that has come to the attention of this list is one settlement for $5 million in February of 1998.
More BCCI Background
Financial General, a Washington D.C.based bank with headquarters a block from the White House had been acquired in April 1977 by an investor group lead by William Middendorf II, who was Secretary of the Navy under Nixon and Ford. One member of the investor group was Jackson Stephens (Little Rock, controlling interest in Worthen National Bank and Stephens Inc, associated with Riadys and Clinton)
In November 1977, Stephens introduced BCCI-founder Abedi to Bert Lance, Carter's Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Financial General had sold to Lance controlling interest in the National Bank of Georgia in 1975. Abedi introduced Lance to Ghaith Pharaon who proceeded to acquire the stock of Lance's National Bank of Georgia, a deal consummated on January 5, 1978, a day after Lance's $3.4 million loan from the First National Bank of Chicago was repaid by BCCI London.
Lance and Stephens helped BCCI take over Financial General. A Financial General lawsuit "Bert Lance, Bank of Credit & Commerce International, Agha Hasan Abedi, Eugene J. Metzger, Jackson Stephens, Stephens Inc., Systematics Inc. and John Does numbers 1 through 25." Systematics was represented by C.J. Giroir, Webster Hubbell, and Hillary Rodham Clinton of the Rose Law Firm of Little Rock.
Also involved in the takeover were Clark Clifford (the former Defense Secretary under Johnson and lawyer for BCCI), Robert Altman (attorney for Bert Lance and Clifford's partner), and Kamal Adham (the former head of Saudi Arabian intelligence who was King Faisal's most trusted advisor, and whose half-sister Iffat was King Faisal's favorite wife).
In a lawsuit filed March 18, 1978, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Lance with violations of federal security laws, and BCCI's application to purchase Financial General Bankshares was denied. Abedi then formed Credit and Commerce American Holdings (CCAH), Netherlands Antilles. On October 19, 1978, CCAH filed for approval with the Federal Reserve to purchase Financial General. This application was dismissed on February 16, 1979, but a new application was submitted later. The Federal Reserve finally approved the purchase on April 19, 1982, and BCCI renamed the bank "First American" three months later. Clark Clifford was made chairman and Robert Altman president. The head of Bank Supervision at the Federal Reserve when BCCI's purchase was approved was Jack Ryan, who later became head of the Resolution Trust Corporation, in which role he denied Rep. Leach's requests for documents related to Madison Guaranty, the Whitewater thrift.
BCCI founder Abedi donated 500 million rupees for the creation of Pakistan's Gulam Ishaq Research Institute for nuclear development. "Kamal Adham, who was the CIA's principal liason for the entire Middle East from the mid-1960's through 1979, was the lead frontman for BCCI in its takeover of First American, was an important nominee shareholder in BCCI, and remains one of the key players in the entire BCCI affair" (Senator John Kerry and Senator Hank Brown, The BCCI Affair: a Report to the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, December 1992).
Stephens and his Worthen National Bank invested in Harken Energy, a Texas company in which George Bush, Jr., was a board member. "The money Stephens invested came through the Swiss BCCI subsidiary"
In 1987 First American bought the National Bank of Georgia, formerly acquired from Bert Lance by Pharaon.

"A cultist is one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the second coming of Christ; who frequently attends Bible studies; who has a high level of financial giving to Christian causes; who home school for their children; who has accumulated survival foods and has a strong belief in the Second Amendment; and who distrusts big governments. Any of these may qualify (a person as a cultist) but certainly more than one (of these) would cause us to look at this person as a threat, and his family as being in a risk situation that qualified for government interference." -Attorney General Janet Reno, Interview on 60 Minutes, June 26,1994

General - Late 1970’s Chinese nationals Mochtar and James Riady whose base of operations was in Indonesia joined with Jack Stephens to take control of Worthen Bank in Little Rock, Arkansas. It has been determined that James and Mochtar Riady have had a long term relationship with a Chinese intelligence agency.
1985
General Gov. Clinton got the Arkansas Teachers retirement fund
to invest in Norinco and Cosco.
General Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Vince Foster, James
Riady, Jackson Stephens, Webb Hubbell, David Watkins, William
Kennedy, Mack McLarty, Betta Carney and William Cravens all met at
Worthen bank in Arkansas. Riady and Stephens owned Worthen
Bank.
1989
General James Riady, Maria Hsia and John Huang formed the
Pacific Leadership Council, and invited Senator Al Gore to the Hsi
Lai temple headquarters in Taiwan. On behalf of the Chinese

presidential race."
December 8 Loral Corp pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud
the US, conversion of government property, and filing a false
statement re: USAF contract for radar warning receivers. Loral was

General 1990’s: CITIC (China government leading business conglomerate) floated bond issues in the US. PLA established an extensive presence in the U.S. through private companies controlled by military trading groups such as Norinco, which has set up a family of trading companies that act as wholesalers for goods, rifles, and chemicals made in Chinese military factories. Roger W. Robinson, Jr., a Reagan administration National Security Council aide and an investment banker by trade, found 36 Chinese-government bond issues in the U.S. since 1989, which have raised $6.725 billion for Chinese government-owned banks and trading companies. All but four of the bonds, worth $420 million, have been issued since Bill Clinton became president.
General 1990’s: China’s trade surplus with the US ($105 billion since 1989) - according to military intelligence analysts - are being used by the PLA to buy submarines, ships, plans, and anti-ship missiles targeted on the US 7th fleet. The Clinton administration has allowed China to stuff its war chest through MFN status and has allowed the sale of sensitive military technology to China. A report, "Selected Military capabilities of the People's Republic of China," concluded that China is focused on developing "a capability to fight short-duration, high-intensity wars in the region" and defeating the U.S. Navy.
General 1990’s Since 1989, China has increased defense spending each year by double digits, sold its advanced nuclear weapons technology to those hostile to the United States, and refused to renounce the use of force in resolving the dispute with Taiwan. Furthermore, in 1996 in the midst of Taiwan's democratic elections, the mainland launched missiles near their borders.
General 1990’s Since 1995 the U.S. intelligence community has been warning that communist China was attempting to make significant improvements in its ability to encrypt its telecommunications. Of particular concern to the Pentagon and CIA are PRC military communications, satellite telemetry, and signals to and among components of the People's Liberation Army Strategic Rocket Forces, the very units that now have at least 13 ICBMs trained on U.S. cities.
1991
General The FBI knew that the Democrat Party was infiltrated
by Chinese agents. The FBI knew Maria Hsia and John Huang to be
agents. Mainland China used its archrival Taiwan, as well as Hong
Kong, as conduits. China Resources bought into Lippo Bank of Hong
Kong and Indonesia and placed its officers John Huang and James Riady
in Arkansas. John Huang was born in Mainland China, but had served in
the Taiwanese air force. Ya Long Economic Trading of the Chinese
Hainan province sought influence and legitimacy through the Hsi Lai
temple of Taiwan, through its representative Maria Hsia, born in
Taiwan.1992

decade ; (5) the creation of the new general license category , GLX
by the Commerce Department in April 1994, allowed the export of ATM
and SDH equipment to civil end users without a validated license
having to be issued by Commerce ; (6) determining who is a civil end
user under GLX is the responsibility of the exporting companies
…"
April The Clinton administration announced a new license
policy for telecommunications exports. High Tech sales for commercial

General: Ron Brown (previous chairman of DNC) was heading
Commerce.
General Huang was working at Commerce with top secret
clearance. Meissner sought to have Huang’s security clearance

Department official, to transfer to the Democratic committee as its
chief fund-raiser soliciting Asian-Americans. Huang took unpaid leave

February Zhan $12,500 contribution joint account.
February 2 The Clinton administration granted Wang Jun's Poly
Technologies import permits to flood America with over 100,000
semi-automatic weapons and millions of rounds of ammunition. The
Clinton administration had been delaying other arms importers because
the president was opposed. The abrupt turnaround in U.S. import
policy was "highly suspicious". The destination for Wang's 100,000
guns was Detroit firm linked to the Chinese Armed Police. The massive
gun shipment would have gone through, but the deal was suspended in
the wake of the COSCO connected smuggling operation - which was
short-circuited by federal agents just weeks after Wang Jun's import
waivers were granted.
February 6 Clinton approved 4 applications on same day Wang
Jun ("Chinese Arms Dealer") met with Ron Brown and had coffee with
Clinton. China International Trade and Investment Corp. (Wang Ju
chair) had multibillion dollar stakes in getting access to American

deposited $378,300.
March 12 Headlines were about China’s continued tensions
with its Asian neighbors, especially Taiwan - by China’s firing
M-9 ballistic missiles, carrying dummy warheads into target zones 30
miles off the shore of Taiwan
March 14 Clinton reversed Christopher’s decision,
overruling both the State Department and the Pentagon - which wanted

permitting them.
March 14 Commerce email said to put a low key spin on news to
"not draw attention to the decision"
March 18 Undercover Customs and BATF agents accepted delivery

the Chinese operatives explained that they were ready to sell
everything from grenade launchers to shoulder fired Red Parakeet
surface to air missiles, which they boasted could "take out a 747".
The COSCO crates contained 2,000 Poly Technologies AK-47's, the
largest seizure of fully operational automatic weapons in the history
of U. S. law enforcement.

April 11 Security advisers at Space Systems/Loral in Palo
Alto, Calif., were closely monitoring on video tape the Chinese Long
March 3B rocket crashes.
April 22 Memo for Anthony Lake regarding Charlie Trie letter
regarding China/Taiwan.
April 22 William Schweikert, Loral's technology transfer
control manager, told the IRC that because the accident review
involved getting information from China and not providing information
to China, there was no need for Pentagon export security officials to
be present. He also said that merely accepting or rejecting China's
own conclusions on the crash would not constitute technical
assistance. Later the same day, committee staff director Nick Yen
traveled to Washington and briefed officials of the Departments of
State, Transportation, Commerce and Defense on what the IRC planned
to do, Loral's outside experts said.

April Trie was officially appointed to the President's
Commission on U.S.-Pacific Trade and Investment Policy, just two
weeks after dropping off to Mr. Cardozo the two manila envelopes
containing checks and money orders;
April Wah Lim, Chinese-born American citizen and senior vice
president and engineer at Loral Space and Communications wrote a
letter to China Aerospace Corp. in April 1996: " Equally important, I
believe, is the task of using this failure as an opportunity to
insure that the Long March launch vehicles have the best reliable
record in the future. Even if that means your engineers and Cgwic
takes a little more time to implement several phases of improvements
over time; I believe it is worth it. We, at Space Systems/Loral would
like China Great Wall to be a strong supplier of launch services and
we will do everything in our power to help you. " A few weeks later,
the technical information was provided to China Aerospace.
May After the Clinton fund ordered an investigation, the rest
of Trie’s money was returned. The investigation found that some
of the money came from sequentially numbered money orders, supposedly
from different people in different cities, but all apparently signed
in the same handwriting;
May Letter signed by Schwartz and two other aerospace
executives urged Clinton to promptly implement the decision to
transfer the export licensing from State to Commerce.

launches both private satellites and tests and provides equipment for
the missiles in China’s nuclear arsenal. Great Wall had been
sanctioned in 1991 and 1993 for selling missiles to Pakistan. CASIL
also had links with Lippo.
June 7 Loral’s report to the State Department indicates

significant."
June 9 Rep Rohrabacher (CA) to Congress "…With the wealth
of technology that Bill Clinton and the corporate power brokers are
transferring, China is steadily building a state-of-the-art Army,
Navy, and Air Force and strategic missile force. This is a power that
will threaten anyone who gets in their way. And we are financing it.
We are subsidizing it. We are facilitating it. And this
administration is celebrating it. And when the party is over, as I
say, a very few rich Americans are going to be better off and a
multitude of our own working people will be displaced by low-tariff
imports. ..Our military personnel will be in grave danger and our
country vulnerable to nuclear attack and high-tech warfare attack.
All of this from this nonsensical policy…"
