WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 - American universities are warning that rules
proposed by the Defense Department and expected soon from the Commerce
Department could hurt research by limiting the ability of foreign-born
students

and technicians to work with sensitive technology in
laboratories.

One target of the proposed rules is believed to be China because more
than 60,000 Chinese citizens are studying in the United States and
Chinese intelligence officials are strongly seeking American technology
for military use, experts in the field said.
