SUBJECT        PERSIAN GULF CRISIS







9. THERE IS SOME PREPARATION ON THE FRONT LINE FOR CHEMICAL AND

BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS; WE BELIEVE THIS IS ROUTINE PREPARATION AND

MAINTENANCE. OUR ASSESSMENT, YES, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY, BUT A LARGE

AMOUNT HAS BEEN DEGRADED BY AIR STRIKES--STILL HAVE LARGE CAPACITY.

JUST HOW MANY ROUNDS THEY HAVE, WE ARE NOT SURE. ALL TROOPS, DOWN TO

THE BRIGADE LEVEL, HAVE CHEMICAL MUNITIONS AVAILABLE.







11. NUCLEAR CAPACITY? ANYTHING NEW? WE BELIEVE IT IS PRETTY

MUCH GONE. TUWAITHA WAS DESTROYED. WE THINK IT IS UNLIKELY FOR

SADDAM TO USE RADIATION WEAPONS, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE.







END OF MESSAGE
