CAPACITY TO STORE BW OR OTHER HEAT-SENSITIVE MATERIEL.
C.        CHEMICAL: NATIONWIDE, IRAQ'S CAPABILITY TO
PRODUCE CHEMICAL WARFARE (CW) AGENTS NOW HAS BEEN DEGRADED BY
ABOUT 70 PERCENT. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE HABBANIYAH, POSSIBLE
CW PRECURSOR CHEMICAL PRODUCTION FACILITIES I AND II [   (b)(1) 
sec 1.3(a)(4)   ]. BOTH FACILITIES HAVE SUFFERED AN EXTENSIVE
DEGRADATION IN THEIR ABILITY TO PRODUCE THE PRECURSOR CHEMICALS
