This report discusses suspected Chinese acquisition of U.S. nuclear weapon data, including that on the W88, the newest miniature U.S. nuclear warhead, from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the 1980s, first publicly reported in January 1999. This is the third reported case involving China's possible compromise of U.S. nuclear weapon secrets in the 1980s. A fourth publicized case suggests that China may have sought more neutron bomb data in 1995. Based on public information, this report presents background on the alleged security problems involving China and U.S. nuclear weapons, discusses responses undertaken by the Administration and Congress, and presents public damage assessments. The report concludes with implicaitons for U.S. policy on counterintelligence, nuclear nonproliferation, and relations with China.
