1 Jul 1951

TOP SECRET who should be aware of the dangers of clandestine attack on crops and animals were now aware of it, and that steps were being taken to guard against the threat. In discussion there was general agreement with these views. It was, however, agreed that in presenting the Committee's views to the Chiefs of Staff, a statement on the likelihood of the Russians initiating such sabotage methods should be included. No evidence was available that the Soviet Union intended to embark on attacks of that description.
