FAA: Landfill may bring birds, endanger aircraft HOUSTON (AP) — A local Fed eral Aviation Administration official says burying Philadelphia garbage at a landfill near Ellington Field could endanger aircraft by attracting more birds. “Our guidelines are that opera tion of a landfill within 10,000 feet of an airport with jet traffic could in crease the number of bird strikes,” said Stan Lou, manager of the FAA’s district office. Lou said Monday he has written the Texas Department of Health protesting the use of the landfill, which is now inactive but may be used for the disposal of up to 300,000 tons a year of baled garbage from Philadephia. FBI: Ex-worker gave group information HOUSTON (AP) — A former FBI employee was arrested Tuesday and accused of giving classified in formation to an official of an organi zation that represents Taiwan inter ests in the United States. Douglas S. Tsou, 63, was fired in October 1986 from the FBI bureau in Houston, where he had worked for six years as a language specialist, U.S. Attorney Henry Oncken said. According to a grand jury indict ment handed down Tuesday, Tsou, also known as Tsou Tau-hsu, gave the information in March 1986 to the Director of the Coordination Council for North American Affairs, the Taiwan group. Oncken and Andrew J. Duffen, Special Agent in Charge of the Houston FBI office, refused to dis close the nature of the information. Oncken would say only that it was about an individual being evaluated and considered as a source of the FBI. The indictment described it as “classified information concerning an operational foreign counterintel ligence asset of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” “At the time of the communica tion, the defendant knew that the in formation he communicated was classified, and he knew that the Coordination Council for North American Affairs was and is an in strumentality acting on behalf of the governing authority on Taiwan, for merly recognized as the Republic of China,” the indictment said. Federal authorities said the coun cil had been helping investigators with the probe. CTncken said it did not appear the organization had so licited the information. A woman who answered the tele phone Tuesday at the Coordination Council for North American Affairs referred questions about the case to John Wei, whom she described as the organization’s secretary. He was not in the office, however, she said. “This case at hand presents an ad ditional element for consideration, that of the matter of national secu rity,” Duffen said. “This element takes this case out of the realm of a routine announcement of an indict ment and arrest and precludes the government from going any further with statements about the case, which is to be proven in a court of law.” “Please understand we are not try ing to be evasive,” Oncken said. “We’ve got the issue of national secu rity and there’s just a lot of things we cannot answer that we ordinarily would be able to answer.” Official leaves pending probe of defense firm DALLAS (AP) — The president of a Dallas company that develops and manufactures several electronic warfare systems for the federal gov ernment resigned after the Depart ment of Defense suspended his secu rity clearance, company officials said. C.C. Lee, founder and chief exec utive officer of UTL Corp., resigned Friday pending an investigation by the Defense Department into a secu rity breach that the company offi cials say occurred around March 1987. Officials of the company, which received more than 98 percent of its revenues from contracts with the Defense Department in 1987, said the probe is the result of a misunder standing about classification of cer tain information. Dale Hartig, spokesman for the Defense Department’s Defense In vestigation Service, would not com ment on the investigation. The serv ice grants workers security clearance for the federal government. Lee’s security clearance was re voked Thursday. John Benson, UTL vice president for finance, declined to elaborate on the investigation. “The matter is pending and it doesn’t involve UTL. It involves Dr. Lee and the govern ment. We support all efforts to get it solved as quickly as possible,” he said. The company said Lee’s suspen sion was an interim action. Lee, 58, has been a key figure in the company’s rise from a small shop with a shoestring budget to a prime defense contractor in Dallas with about 400 employees, analysts said. As of Feb. 2, UTL had 51 con tracts with the military worth $91.9 million, according to the Defense Contract Administration in Dallas. Defense analysts said Lee’s loss of security clearance could have a harmful impact on the UTL. Robert Williams, an analyst with Eppler, Guerin Sc Turner, said, “It’s shocking news. I hope it’s temporary because Dr. Lee is very critical not only to UTL today but also in terms of guiding the company in the fu ture.” The company designs, develops, manufactures and markets electro nic warfare systems and subsystems for reconnaissance, surveillance and targeting.
