SEPTEMBER 26, 2000

FBI Director Louis Freeh will testify in a special joint session between the Senate Commitees on Intelilgence and Judiciary and plans to defend the government's handling of the Wen Ho Lee case, according to previously submitted testimony.

The government has come under fire for its handling of the case. The Attorney General's office, the FBI, and Energy Secretary Bill Richardson have been the target of inquiry ever since its case against the Taiwan-born physicist accused of stealing government secrets was largely dropped.

Freeh is well known for his defense of the conviction and handling of Leonard Peltier's case. "The FBI cannot forget this cold blooded crime, nor should the American people," said Freeh in June on the anniversary of the killing of two agents in South Dakota.
