U.S. won't reduce Los Alamos charaes
■Defense request denied in
case of scientist Wen LoHee.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - The
government on Tuesday refused a
defense request to reduce the
charges in the Wen Ho Lee case
and acknowledge that files the
fired Los Alamos scientist
allegedly mishandled were not
classified.
In a court filing, the govern
ment also said it opposes the
defense’s request to dismiss all
but 10 counts of the indictment
against Lee.
And citing national security
concerns, the government with
held public release of a defense
response to additional allega
tions against the 60-year-old sci
entist, who is accused of breach
ing security at Los Alamos
National Laboratory.
The court filings came as U.S.
District Judge James Parker con
sidered whether to grant bail for
Lee, who has been in jail since
December.
Lee is charged with 59 counts
alleging he “down-partitioned"
and downloaded restricted mate
rial to insecure computers and
tapes at the lab’s top-secret X
Division. Down-partitioning
refers to a lowering of an elec
tronic security barrier, which
would be necessary before down
loading data to an insecure sta
tus.
The defense contends the
materials Lee allegedly mishan
dled were not classified secret at
the time.
They were labeled “Protect As
Restricted Data,” or PARD, calling
for lower levels of security.
Attorneys have said PARD mate
rials can be sent via first-class
mail
However, the prosecution
said Hiesday that while the mate
rials were labeled PARD, 19 files
and one tape contained informa
tion that had higher classifica
tions - “secret restricted data" and
“confidential restricted data,”
SRD and CRD.
“The government also will
present evidence that Lee would
have known by virtue of his
employment in X Division that
the information he took con
tained SRD and CRD even though
the actual files he down-parti
tioned and downloaded were
marked 'PARD,”’ Assistant U.S.
Attorney George Stamboulidis
says in the document
Earlier this month, prosecu
tors filed a list of supplemental
allegations they want to indude
in Lee's trial, set to begin Nov. 6.
One of the allegations is that Lee
repeatedly sought access to a
secure area of the lab after his
electronic access badge was
deactivated by lab officials Dec.
23,1996.
On Monday, defense attor
neys filed their response to the
supplemental allegations, but
their response was immediately
sealed and withheld from public
access.
“The pleading has been sub
mitted for classification review,”
defense attorney John Cline said
Tuesday. The review was request
ed by the government, he said,
declining further comment
The government’s supple
mental allegations were released
to the public

Girl dies
after fall
into hot
spring
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL
BARK, Wyo.-A park concession
employee died Tuesday and two
others were in critical condition
after falling into a 178-degree
hot spring.
A 20-year-old woman died
about 15 hours after the acci
dent late Monday. Sara
Hulphers, of Oroville, Wash.,
died from complications from
very severe burns, said Chris
Nelson, spokesman for
University of Utah's
Intermountain Burn Center in
Salt Lake City.
The accident occurred in the
Lower Geyser Basin near Old
Faithful, roughly in the middle
of the park.
According to park spokes
woman Cheryl Matthews, the
three were returning from a
swim in the Firehole River when
friends heard their cries
between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Monday. The three fell into
Cavern Spring, a 178-degree
pool about 10 feet deep, she
said.
Hulphers had third-degree
burns on her entire body. Tyler
Montague, 18, had second- and
third-degree burns on 97 per
cent of his body, and Lance
Buchi, 18, had third-degree
bums on 90 percent of his body,
park officials said.
Matthews said some of the
friends stayed with Hulphers
while others helped Montague
and Buchi walk to their cars
about a quarter of a mile away.
"It’s pretty remarkable that
they walked these two young
men out, which took some tim*
because they were pretty hurt,”
she said.
No one saw what caused the
accident, but hot springs are
often surrounded by thin, fragile
crusts that break easily, she said.
