said he would try. (S/NF)
8. I went through the briefing I had given the President on Soviet
attitudes towards military balance. Harold, I believe, thought it was
generally good. He recognized the sensitive charts of comparative tank and
aircraft capabilities. On the most controversial chart in the strategic
section on the number of warheads the 'Soviets might procure by 1989, it was
suggested we needed to take another look at the question of warhead productive
capability. He did not doubt that they could find the fissionable material
.if they needed it. He Wondered, however, if they didn't start now whether
they could generate a big enough industrial effort to produce such large
numbers of warheads by 1989. (S/NF)

25X1A standing on (C/NF)
