BODY SUBJECT: [ (b)(2) ]
1. [ (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) ] THE
FOLLOWING: THE ASSESSMENT THAT IRAQ HAS CHEMICAL WARHEADS FOR
MISSILE SYSTEMS IS BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF THEIR MISSILE TECHNOLOGY
AND THEIR OVERALL CHEMICAL CAPABILITY' FIRM EVIDENCE OF THE
EXISTENCE OF SUCH WARHEADS IS LACKING' IT IS PROBABLE THAT IRAQ
WOULD USE A PERSISENT AGENCY SUCH AS MUSTARD IN AN SSM, IF IT WERE
DIRECTED TO AN AREA WHERE IRAQ TROOPS ARE NOT ENDANGERED, IN ORDER
TO MAKE CLEANUP AS DIFFICULT AS POSSIBLE. FOR DISRUPTION OF
IMPENDING TROOP MOVEMENTS, A NERVE AGENT IS PERHAPS MORE LIKELY.
THIS REPONSE, HOWEVER, IS NOT BASED ON ANY KNOWLEDGE OF IRAQ
DOCTRINE.
