BERNARD SHAW, CNN ANCHOR: Before those stories, CNN's Pierre Thomas joins us with new information about two sensitive computer files, files containing classified information on nuclear weapons that were missing from the U.S. National Laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico. Pierre, what did you learn?</s>PIERRE THOMAS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Bernie, these particular computer files contain some very sensitive information: information about how to detect and dismantle nuclear weapons. What we're finding out is that there is a large gap in terms of where these particular hard-drives were found. Today, we spoke with both chairmen of the congressional intelligence committees.</s>REP. PORTER GOSS (R-FL), CHAIRMAN, INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: My understanding is the last inventory that was taken that surely established where these hard-drives were was part of a Y2K survey, which of course would have been the beginning of the year. So, that gives us quite a timeframe.</s>SEN. RICHARD SHELBY (R-AL), INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: The local library, the local rental place has a much better idea of where their tools are, where their books than they have in the lab at Los Alamos. It defies your imagination.</s>THOMAS: Tomorrow, Energy Secretary Bill Richardson will be before congressional leaders trying to explain exactly what happened. He can face some very tough grilling -- Bernie.</s>SHAW: OK, thank you, Pierre Thomas.
