WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (Reuters) - China hardliners in

Congress are calling on the world's foremost semiconductor

equipment makers - KLA, LAM, Applied Materials ( AMAT )

, Tokyo Electron ( TOELF ) and ASML -- to

provide details of their sales to China.

Republican John Moolenaar and Democrat Raja Krishnamurthi

sent letters to the companies on Thursday, according to a Friday

press release, amid pushback from some equipment makers against

expected U.S. rules that crack down further on tool shipments to

China.
