15 Mar 1949

The Secretary was instructed to prepare an extract from the content of this appendix for direct inclusion in Annex I of the preliminary draft. Preliminary Draft. 5. It was agreed that the section on Capabilities was too long and could be reduced by the elimination of the detailed discussion on base surge and the effects of bomb bursts under water or after penetrating the ground. Mr. Perrin was invited to submit a redraft of this section of the paper and it was agreed that the effects of the bomb on the various types of targets should be rearranged to cover the targets mentioned in the paper including Power Stations, Communications, Bridges etc.
