IMPACT OF CHINESE COMMUNIST
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE
WEAPONS PROGRESS ON V.S. NATIONAL SE-
CURITY
INTRODUCTION
The Joint Committee on Atomic Energy is
charged under the Atomic Energy Act of
1954 with making continuing studies of
problems relating to the development, use
and control of atomic energy. In recognition
of the important responsibility assigned to
the Joint Committee, the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954 imposes upon the Atomic Energy
Commission and the Department of Defense
a mandatory obligation to "keep the Joint
Committee fully and currently informed"
on atomic energy matters. All other Govern-
ment agencies are required by law to furnish
any information requested by the Joint
Committee with respect to the activities or
responsibilities of that agency in the field
of atomic energy.
One of the crucial matters affecting U.S.
national security is the development by for-
eign nations of nuclear weapons and the
accompanying delivery systems. The present
nuclear threat to the United States and the
free world comes from the Soviet Union and
Communist China. In order properly to
understand the scope and magnitude of this
threat, the Joint Committee has over the
years held executive hearings at which nu-
clear weapons experts' have charted the
progress of foreign nations as they developed
and refined their nuclear arsenals.
The emergence of a serious threat from the
Chinese Communists began in 1964. In a
brief span of less than 3 years, Red China
has had six nuclear tests. The last one on
June 17, 1967, was In the megaton range and
indicated that they were making rapid prog-
ress in thermonuclear design. They are also
making progress in the development of de-
livery vehicles for megaton weapons. The
internal strife in Red China appears to have
had little, if any, effect on their nuclear
weapons program to date.
The trends in nuclear weapons develop-
ment by foreign nations have been followed
closely by the Joint Committee. These trends
have been borne out by subsequent events.

complishments and possible future trends
in the development of Red China's nuclear
offensive force.
BACKGROUND
As the nuclear threat posed by the Chi-
nese Communists became more pronounced,
Chairman Pastore decided to conduct a spe-
cial inquiry regarding Chinese Communist
nuclear weapons development. This probe
began on January 11, 1967, and was formally
announced at the Joint Committee's first
public hearing of the 90th Congress on Janu-
ary 25, 1967.
In connection with this study the Joint
Committee received the following testimony
in executive session: January 11, 1967: Rich-
ard Helms, Director of the Central Intelli-
gence Agency, February 1, 1967: Dr. Norris
Bradbury, Director, Los Alamos Scientific
Labortaory, and Dr. Michael May, Director,
Livermore Radiation Laboratory. Mar. 13,
1967: Secretary of State Dean Rusk. July 13,
1967: Representatives of the Department of
Defense, CIA, and AEC.
These witnesses presented testimony con-
cerning advances being made by Communist
China In developing nuclear weapons as well
as their progress in developing the capability
to deliver these weapons against neighbor..
Ing countries or the United States.

have an ICBM system ready for deployment
in the early 1970's. On the basis of our pres-
ent knowledge, we believe that the Chinese
probably will achieve an operational ICBM
capability before 1972. Conceivably, it could
be ready as early as 1970-1971. But this would
be a tight schedule and makes allowance for
only minor difficulties and delays. We believe
that the Chinese have already completed the
development of a medium range ballistic mis-
sile. We have no indication of any deploy-
ment.
We also believe that by about 1970 the
Chinese Communists could develop a thermo-
nuclear warhead with a yield In the few
hundreds of kilotons in the MRBM class and
that they could develop an MRBM warhead
with a megaton yield about a couple of years
later. Meanwhile, should they desire a ther-
monuclear bomb for delivery by bomber, they
could probably begin weaponizing the design
employed In the sixth test
thermonuclear device in 1968 when enriched
uranium becomes available, there have been
hints in the press that France is having dif-
ficulties with its program. Should this be
true, the first generation of both the land-
based and submarine-launched missile sys-
tems might have to use warheads developed
in the 1966 series.
To recapitulate, the Chinese are well ahead
of the French in thermonuclear weapon de-
sign. In 2?/2 years and six tests the Chinese
have successfully tested a multimegaton
thermonuclear device. The French, on the
other hand, have conducted many more tests
over a 7-year period and have not yet tested
a true thermonuclear device or achieved a
megaton size yield.
The French have developed higher yield
fission weapons than the Chinese. The French
have achieved yields of up to 250 kilotons
while the Chinese fission devices have had
lower yields.
The French now have an operational stra-
tegic force of about 60 Mirage IV aircraft
with a stockpile of 60 to 70 KT nuclear
weapons. At this time the Chinese do not
have such an operational strategic force.

Its effect will also be felt bg 3apan. Moreover,
the Chinese Communists could use nuclear
blackmail to assert their position not only
broadly in Asia, but specifically in South-
east Asia.
Perhaps most significant for the United
States is the fact that a low order of magni-
tude attack could possibly be launched by
the Chinese Communists against the United
States by the early 1970's. At present we do
not have an effective anti-ballistic-missile
system which could repel such a suicidal
(for the Chinese) but nevertheless possible
strike.

mittee feels the, assessment it has made,
