February 18 [1998] President Clinton approves a waiver for the Loral-built Chinasat 8 satellite to be exported to the PRC for launch. Clinton may not have gotten formally involved till then, but exporting the knowledge used to get the Long March to a reliable state was. And Loral did not get paid by contract terms until the satellite had been successfully manufactured, launched, and completed IOC (in-orbit checkout). So Loral had a nice chunk of change (hindreds of millions) riding on getting that satellite into orbit. christusrex.org Where are Slick's defenders when you need them? Did you see Laz's post about Clinton and Loral? Message 21092562
