1.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing abridgement, June 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cox Report : The Unanimous and Bipartisan Report of the House Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China (Paperback)

This is a abridged version dumbed down for what the editor calls "The General Reader" . Technical details and footnotes are omitted, and a 3 volume report has been edited into 370 some pages. It is good enough for the Readers Digest crowd, but this is NOT a copy of the real declassified Cox Report.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one scary bipartisan report!, June 1, 1999

This review is from: The Cox Report : The Unanimous and Bipartisan Report of the House Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China (Paperback)

The revelations in The Cox Report are truely frightening, especially so since they are documented by a "unanimous and bipartisan" House Select Committee on U.S. National Security. Caspar Weinberger, in his forward to the report, sums it up as only he can; "...the most serieous breach of national security since Julius and Ethel Rosenberg betrayed atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. For their crime, the Rosenbergs were executed. Let us hope that the crimes uncovered here by this report are paid for by those who committed them, and not by innocent American lives."

This review is from: The Cox Report : The Unanimous and Bipartisan Report of the House Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China (Paperback)

The cleavage of opinion in the Congress with regard to the globalization of space commercialization makes this report relevant to the reader. The International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) specifically relating to space technology and dual-use technologies insights is what makes this book insightful. With the subsequent decline in the American commercial satellite launch business following the Cox Report and the growing isolation of domestic commercial space firms is equally frightening as compared to technology transfer to China. The impact on Americans to do space technology business abroad and forcing foreign nations to develop competive technology is having a negative impact on the United States. The larger problem identified in the Cox Report was the lack of communication and interaction among federal agencies. The book is insightful and worth the read for those interested in the future of ITAR and dual-use space technologies.
