ACCORDING TO INFORMATION WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE RELIABLE, 
IRAQ TESTED A WARHEAD ON A SURFACE-TO-SURFACE MISSILE 
EARLIER THIS YEAR AND HAS BEEN PRODUCING THE NERVE AGENTS 
SARIN AND GF, AS WELL AS MUSTARD GAS. 
IN THE SPRING OF 1990, IRAQ SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED A 
SURFACE-TO-SURFACE MISSILE THAT HAD BEEN FITTED WITH A 
BINARY CHEMICAL WARHEAD.  THIS CAN BE ADDED TO THE BINARY 
152-MM ARTILLERY SHELLS AND 122-MM ARTILLERY ROCKETS IT HAD 
PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED. 
IN THE SPRING OF 1990, IRAQ WAS PRODUCING THE NERVE AGENTS 
SARIN AND GF, AS WELL AS MUSTARD GAS.  THIS PRODUCTION HAD 
CEASED BY MID-SUMMER 1990.
