/ON 14 SEPTEMBER, PROBABLE CHEMICAL WARFARE (CW) RELATED CRATES
/WERE LOADED ON A STAKE BED TRUCK AT THE PROBABLE TEFLON-LINED
/CONTAINER BUILDING IN THE SAMARRA MATERIAL-CHEMICAL STORAGE AREA
/(AREA H). THIS IS THE FIRST TIME SUCH CRATES HAVE BEEN SEEN IN
/THIS AREA SINCE JUNE 1988. THIS SUGGESTS A CHANGE IN THE
/MUNITIONS FILLING ROUTINE OBSERVED FROM 15 JULY TO 14 AUGUST, 
WHEN
/STAKE BED TRUCKS LOADED WITH PROBABLE CW RELATED CRATES MOVED
/BETWEEN THE CRUCIFORM BUNKER AREA (AREA D) AND THE PROBABLE
/FILLING COMPOUND (AREA A). THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES OBSERVED ON THE
/ROADS BETWEEN AREAS A AND D HAS DECREASED SINCE 14 AUGUST.
/
/
/TWO PROBABLE TEFLON-LINED CONTAINER BUILDINGS ARE AT SAMARRA --
/ONE IN AREA A AND ONE IN AREA H. THE BUILDING IN AREA H WAS
/IDENTIFIED [   (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4)   ] AS A "TEFLON HALL", WHICH
/PRODUCES PLASTIC BOTTLES THAT ARE PROBABLY USED TO HOLD CW 
AGENTS.
/TEFLON PROTECTS CONTAINERS FROM THE CORROSIVE EFFECTS OF CW
/AGENTS.           
/
/THE TWO PROBABLE TEFLON-LINED CONTAINER BUILDINGS EACH HAVE 12
/VENTS ON THE ROOF AND AIR HANDLING EQUIPMENT ON THE SIDES.
/CONSTRUCTION STARTED ON THESE BUILDINGS BETWEEN 17 OCTOBER, 1984
/AND 22 JANUARY, 1985; THEY WERE COMPLETED BY 7 JUNE 1986.
/
/
/ALSO ON 14 SEPTEMBER, A BUS AND A PROBABLE DECONTAMINATION TRUCK
/WERE PARKED IN AREA A AND A STAKE BED TRUCK WITH A LOAD OF
/PROBABLE CRATES WAS AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE CRUCIFORM BUNKERED
/STORAGE AREA, AREA D.
