Spence says report on Chinese spying in US nuclear systems frighte
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Floyd Spence calls a Cox chaired report an accurate and frightening picture of Chinese intrusion into US military nuclear programs. Rep.

Spence notes export controls relaxation under Clinton aided adversaries and urges a repair of national security damage. Graham views the report as a beginning, not the final word, and cites district ties to Aiken County.
