Over the course of. the last several years, the extent of the
proliferation of dangerous technologies in the Middle East has
become all too apparent. Of particular concern -- in part
because of the conduct of the Iran-Iraq war -- have been the
acquisition and employment of increasingly sophisticated
ballistic missiles and chemical weapons.
It is our intention to broaden our knowledge and
understanding of the extent and implications of the proliferation
of these technologies in the region. In that regard, we would
like to initiate a series of briefings with the appropriate
intelligence officers to inform ourselves of the current state of
affairs.
We hope that such an initiation will make us better
partners to the executive branch with whom we hope to work
closely in the coming years in pursuing a common nonproliferation
policy. Enclosed is a series of questions the answers to which
we expect will provide a good foundation for this undertaking.
In order to work out details of the briefings, please have
your staff contact Lise Hartman at 225-4695. We look forward to
your response.
Sincerely,
MEL I4~VINE
Member of Congress
