Wen Ho Lee created duplicate tapes of nuclear secrets
Officials said just before finalizing a plea bargain the government learned Lee made a second set of original tapes. The FBI told Congress the copies bring the total suspected tapes to 20 from Energy Department files. Lee has agreed to explain the whereabouts of 17 missing tapes, seven originals and ten copies, with three found earlier at Los Alamos. FBI interviews set for Tuesday as part of a plea deal. One lawyer indicated Lee will admit destroying missing tapes containing secrets.

CIA admits deep involvement in Chile coup plot details
The CIA releases a declassified report admitting its prior knowledge and support for the 1970 kidnapping of Chilean General Rene Schneider, who was shot and died two days after Allende’s election was confirmed. The document says Schneider’s death was not intended by the agency and notes later payments to the botched captors. It denies direct CIA involvement in the assassination.

With 11 days until fiscal 2001 begins, two defense bills have been signed, and Senate action is expected. White House budget chief Lew calls the bill unacceptable for underfunding the IRS by 300 million, but stops short of a veto.
