Spokesman Benjamin Welles says the review mirrors similar agency studies on restricting U S technology movements, while Weinberger and other officials have favored tight curbs on military tech sales to China or any communist country. Baldrige said new guidelines on high tech sales to China would be ready within 60 days. Christopher Columbus discovered the island of Puerto Rico in 1493.
