MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: CW/Toxin Use
1. STAP strongly supports the recommendation that
of OSWR be designated as the central point of contact for monitoring and
coordinating the Intelligence Community's efforts to collect, analyze, and
interpret technical and other information regarding the use of CW/Toxins in
Third World conflicts. STAP believes the arguments presented by Hans Heymann
in support of this recommendation are strong and persuasive.
2. I agree with you that this is but part of a larger problem; the
acquisition by Third World countries of weapons that are not necessarily
technically sophisticated but that can be very effective. I believe that a
continuing collection/analysis program involving the various elements of the
Community should have a very high priority.
