	ASSESSING IRAQ'S REMAINING CBW CAPABILITY

Iraq's known research, development, and production capability in 
biological warfare has been destroyed. To achieve its prewar 
status would take several years, possibly as long as 10 years.

Iraq's known capability to store biological agents i.e. 12-frame 
refrigerated bunkers, has been degraded by 84%. Replacing these 
sophisticated bunkers would take several years. 

Iraq's known capability to produce chemical agents has been 
degraded by at least 75%. Its known capability to mate CW agent 
with munitions has been eliminated, however, we believe some 
clandestine capability must exist, all be it small. Returning to 
prewar status would take at least several years, possibly as long 
as 10 years.

Iraq's known CW storage bunkers i.e. s-shaped and cruciform, has 
been degraded by 63%. Replacing these bunkers would take several 
years. 

The attached tables are provided as a detailed breakdown of CBW 
status.
