MEMORANDUM
TO OSWR/STD
FROM
: Carolyn K. Stettner - ACDA/y,
SUBJECT: CBW/Toxin Arms Control and Treaty Issues Sub-Group
I suspect that this sub-group will need to convene
infrequently and only when a specific issues paper or study is
being prepared. I also envision the subgroup providing commu-
nity-coordinated guidance to any member organization on these
issues. We might undertake preemptive analysis of the poten-
tial for treaty violations in conflict areas where we suspect
that CB/toxin warfare may occur. The sub-group could also
provide input to intelligence studies on CBW arms transfers
into conflict areas.
Presently I do not see a need for formal tasking. If,
however, we were tasked to provide a major input to an intelli-
gence study that would require significant man-hours of effort
(or the need to draft help from other offices), it would
probably be helpful. Let me advise you as the need arises on
any specific issue.
Membership should minimally include myself, the CIA/ACIS
representative, and State/PM representative. I intend to
depend on the legal staffs of ACDA, State, and CIA if necessary
for specific interpretation of legal issues. I would also plan
to include a desk officer, expert in the geographic area being
addressed. I'm flexible on the subject; willing to accept any
volunteers.
These are my initial thoughts on the mission and structure
of the sub-group. I'd be happy to discuss them with you at
your convenience.
