China Gains Operational Nuclear Capability
A comprehensive intelligence analysis warns Peiping now has an operational nuclear capability with a bomb and delivery system. It cites a 110 kiloton test from a TU-4 bomber, estimated stockpile of 15 to 25 bombs possibly rising to 100 by next year, and delivery by IL-28s or bombers near Vietnam. The report prompts Johnson to consider a top level commission to advise U.S. measures.
