U.S. to sell satellite to Cins
Roundtrip Flights from Detroit to: WASHINGTON (AP)-The Carter
administration has informed Peking
rk .. 1.Boston.that the Chinese will be allowed to buy
an American communications satellite
k .$98.00Philadelpha $ 4and that the United States will launch
it, administration sources said yester-
Call 769A 776 day.
The sources said the administration
Reserve Now is waiting for the Chinese to reconfirm
Space Limited! that they are interested in making the
Q C tdeal, which would represent the most
sophisticated transfer of technology
TRAVELC U Nbetween the two countries.
THE SOURCES said the ad-
ministration is fairly confident that the
216 .F r.nearbChinese will make the deal. Chinese
representatives discussed it with White
House science adviser Frank Press
during a meeting in July. Several years
ago they "reserved" a slot for a com-
muniations satellite with the United
Nations agency that monitors the field.
The sources emphasized that the
discussions are still at a very tentative
stage. If the Chinese choose to pursue
the offer, they would ahve to make a
deal with one of the handful of
American companies that manufacture
the satellites. To make the satellite ef-
fective, they would also have to buy an
undetermined number of ground
stations for receiving and transmitting
the signals.
The cost could run into hundreds of
millions of dollars. A satellite would
cost $15'million to $17 million, accor-
ding to industry sources. The cost of
placing it in orbit would add another $13
million to $23 million, depending on the
rocket used.
THE SATELLITE sale would not
technically violate the longstanding
U.S. policy against the sale of military
equipment to the Chinese, the sources
said. But they acknowledged that it
might 'improve Chinese military com-
munictions.
Whether it had direct military implic-
tions or not, the sale would likely
irritate the Soviets, who have
repeatedly warned in recent months
that it is dangerous for Washington to
"play the China card"-a reference to
cultivating closer ties with the Chinese
while Peking-Moscow relations are
strained.
The sale to Peking would continue a
trend of dramatically growing trade
and technical ties with mainland China
that began with the death of Mao Tse-
tung and accelerated when the
pragmatic Teng Hsiao-ping became
deputy premier unde Hua Kuo-feng.
