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.
