EDINBURG, Texas, May 25 (AFP) - US President Bill Clinton vowed Tuesday to do more to protect US security secrets following a congressional report on China's alleged nuclear espionage. Clinton welcomed the report released by Republican Representative Christopher Cox's panel, saying he agreed with "the overwhelming majority" of its recommendations on securing sensitive technology. "We have a solemn obligation to protect such national security information and we have to do more to do it," Clinton said during a speech in Texas. Clinton noted that the United States has put the strictest controls on technology transfers with the communist nation, but he defended his policy aimed at softening Beijing through cooperation. "I strongly believe that our continuing engagement with China has produced benefits for our national security," he said. Clinton cited Beijing's signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, its agreement to curb proliferation and cooperation on reducing the missile threat from North Korea. Earlier, the White House said it did not agree with all of the report's analysis, but stressed it shared with Congress the goal of protecting US national secrets and preventing diversion of civilian technology to military purposes. "We found most of the recommendations constructive, and we are in the process of implementing them," the White House said.
