         72. 11 Dec 90 - Sixth TANK briefing (decisional) held. Updated
          intelligence, availability of vaccines, antibiotics, antitoxin, BW
         detection devices, consultations with

























             -- CINC inputs: Continues to be concerned about
             effectiveness of antibiotics, panic among oilfield workers,
             sensationalized media coverage. Ready to support Washington
             decision but needs help in prioritizing.

                 Joint Staff Goal: Have adequate BW defense by 15 Jan.








                 CJCS expressed concern that US measures include more than
             just vaccination. Suggested, focus be changed to accentuate
             positve aspects of BW defensive measures . . . what we can do,
             not what is unavailable. Asked questions of clarification
             concerning the antibiotic recommendation and requested
             civilian medical authorities as well as those military
             validate this treatment regimen. Must be a total integrated
             program.
