Editorial comments:	The Military Options paper was regularly updated during the war by the Defence Policy Staff, weekly by the time this particular revision was issued, more frequently when requested. It was considered by the Chiefs of Staff Committee. Ministers seem to have had some access to it. For example, although it was not formally circulated to OD(SA), the 1 May Military Options paper was considered at Chequers on 2 May. Read other documents selected from this file.
