Spy Investigation

In “What’s Left of Case Against Lee? Not Much” (Commentary, Dec. 14), Robert Scheer wrote that the “FBI has now switched its investigation to” Sandia National Laboratories.

Sandia has worked closely with federal investigators since the espionage investigation began four years ago. Since we are responsible for the design of the nonnuclear components of nuclear warheads, it is logical that the investigators would want to talk with us. Because of our role we would assume--we would hope--that investigators will contact us as part of their probe.

We have no indication we are under more scrutiny than any other member of the nuclear weapons complex; we have not been implicated in any wrongdoing.
