| Senator CARLSON. |
With respect to article IV, will you describe what is a weapon of
mass destruction? |
| Mr. GOLDBERG. |
This is a weapon of comparable capability of annihilation to a nuclear
weapon, bacteriological. It does not relate to a conventional weapon. |
| Senator CARLSON. |
This sounds ridiculous and wild, but I think I am correct in stating
there was some thought of placing a satellite over Vietnam to keep
that country lighted all night. |
| Mr. GOLDBERG. |
This would have no application. |
| Senator CARLSON. |
This would have no application to that? |
| Mr. GOLDBERG. |
No. Observation satellites, navigational satellites, those are not
covered by this treaty. |
| Senator CARLSON. |
In other words, if we had done that and it could have been done,
and I think it was actually considered as part of our military operation,
it would not be affected? |
| Mr. GOLDBERG. |
It would not be affected by one iota by this treaty. |
| Senator CARLSON. |
That is all, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Anyone else? Senator Lausche. |
