SUMMARY:     REPORT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON THE CHEMICAL
WARFARE POTENTIAL OF IRAQ [   (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4) (b)(7)(D)   ]




TEXT:    [   (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4)   ]

A.     [   (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4)   ] WAS NEVER ABLE TO OBTAIN 
CONCRETE FINDINGS CONCERNING IRAQ'S NBC WEAPONS POTENTIAL. 
OCCASIONAL JOINT EFFORTS IN THE AREA OF NBC DEFENSE DID NOT LEAD 
TO THE VALID CONCLUSIONS CONCERNING OFFENSIVE CAPACITIES. 
(QUESTIONS ADDRESSED ON THIS TOPIC WERE NOT ANSWERED.)
B.     INFORMANT CLAIMS TO BE A MISSILE EXPERT, AND BELIEVES
IRAQ IS INCAPABLE OF DEVELOPING AND PRODUCING CHEMICAL AND
BIOLOGICAL WARHEADS FOR MISSILES. THE RELATED TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
(DUE TO, AMONG OTHER THINGS, CHANGES IN THE BALLISTICS AND THE
RESULTING MODIFICATIONS REQUIRED IN THE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS) ARE
BEYOND THE TECHNOLIGICAL CAPABILITIES OF IRAQ.
C. (C) INFORMANT BELIEVES, HOWEVER, THAT IRAQ DOES NOT HAVE
THE CAPABILITY TO DEVELOP AND PRODUCE CHEMICAL ARTILLERY WEAPONS.
D.    [   (b)(1) sec 1.3(a)(4)   ]


F.     INFORMANT WAS UNABLE TO MAKE STATEMENTS CONCERNING
THE DEPLOYMENT OF NBC UNITS AND CHEMICAL WEAPON STORAGE 
FACILITIES.
G.     INFORMANT HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF NBC WEAPONS BEING
DELIVERED TO IRAQ BY EAST GERMANY OR THE SOVIET UNION.
