1. Scale and Nature of Air Attack on the U.K.; 2. Tripartite Talks in Singapore; 3. Intelligence from N.A.T.O. From Austria and Trieste

1 Jul 1951

TOP SECRET MR. ROSS pointed out that the Chiefs of Staff were considering at that moment a reportø by the Joint Planning staff on the strategic basis for war planning by civil departments. He suggested that, in drafting the report on air attack, the Joint Intelligence Staff should take account of any relevant assumptions in the Joint Planning staff's paper which the Chiefs of Staff approved. THE COMMITTEE:Instructed the Joint Intelligence Staff to assume, for the purpose of the report on the scale and nature of air attack on the United Kingdom in 1954, that the United Kingdom would be the primary objective for the Soviet strategic air offensive; and to take account of any relevant assumptions in the report by the Joint Planning Staff on the strategic basis for war planning by civil departments.
