Editorial comments: | Some version of this paper would appear to have been circulated to the War Cabinet as OD(SA)(82) 6, dated 12 April 1982, quite possibly handed out in person at a meeting by the Defence Secretary. It would seem no copy survives in the CAB file for the committee, CAB148/211. The index describes the missing item as follows (f8): “Top Secret Memorandum by Defence (Classified ATOMIC) Circ’d by DEF SEC". |
