Loral's chief, Bernard L. Schwartz, was the single biggest contributor to the Democratic National Committee in 1996, giving $632,000. At the time Loral received its waiver, the company was under criminal investigation by the Justice Department for allegedly having provided China Aerospace with highly sensitive information on how to improve its missile guidance systems in 1996. The Justice Department opposed the Loral waiver, fearing it would jeopardize the criminal investigation.

But the White House not only overruled Justice, it rejected the unanimous recommendation of the State Department, the Defense Department, the CIA and the National Security Agency.
