 SO FAR, HOWEVER,

 NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN FOUND THAT CHEMICAL MUNITIONS WERE STORED IN

 KUWAIT.          IS STILL SEARCHING AND AS THE SEARCH CONTINUES WE

 MAY FIND SOMETHING. HQS ASSESSMENT IS THAT THE IRAQIS WERE DETERRED

 FROM DEPLOYING CHEMICAL WEAPONS BY FEARS OF ALLIED RETALIATION.

 TACTICAL CONDITIONS DURING BATTLE WERE NEVER ADVANTAGEOUS FOR THE USE

 OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS. WEATHER WAS POOR AND ALLIED GROUND

 FORCES STRUCK TOO RAPIDLY FOR THE IRAQIS TO IDENTIFY TARGETS FOR CW

 USE.
