       US Says Cooperation with Germany Important Despite Spying Fallout

   by Reuters

   The White House said on Thursday it was essential that the United
   States and Germany continue to cooperate after Germany took the unusual
   step of asking a American intelligence official at the U.S. Embassy in
   Berlin to leave the country.

   "We have seen these reports and have no comment on a purported
   intelligence matter. However, our security and intelligence
   relationship with Germany is a very important one and it keeps Germans
   and Americans safe,'' White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.  "It
   is essential that cooperation continue in all areas and we will
   continue to be in touch with the German government in appropriate
   channels.''
