PARA ONE FOLLOWING QUOTATION FROM SEC MCNAMARA 0 S TESTIMONY BEFORE
HOUSE COMMITTEE ON ARMED SERVICES ON DEFENCE FROGRAMME FOR 1963
GIV!N 24 JAN 62 IS RElEVANT TO YOUR REQUEST FOR FOLleY STATFMFNTS

CONCERNING THE USE OF TACTICAL NUCLEAR W!AFONS:
QUOTE AFTER LONG AND INTENSIVE STUDY 9 WE HAVE REACHED THE CONCLUSION
THAT WHILE OUR NUCLEAR FORCES ARE INCR[ASING

7

GREATER EMPHASIS

THAN IN THE FAST MUST BE GIVEN 9 BOTH BY OURSELVES AND OUR NATO
ALLIES, TO OUR NON-NUCLEAR FORCESo THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE WOULD
HESITATE TO USE NUCLEAR WEAFONS EVEN IN A LIMITED

SITUATION,

IF NEEDEDo AS I STATED IN MY APPEARANCE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE lAST
SPRING: QUOTE EVEN XN LIMITED WAR SITUATION WE SHOULD NOT PRECLUDE
THE US[ OF TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS, FOR NO ONE CAN FOR[SEE HOW
SUCH SITUATIONS MIGHT DEVEIOFa BUT THE DECISION TO EMPLOY
TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAFONS IN LIMITED CONFLICTS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED
UFON US SIMPLY BECAUSE WE HAVE NO OTHER MEANS TO COPE WITH THEMe
THERE ARE MANY FOSSIBIF SITUATIONS IN ·WHICH IT WOULD NOT EF ADVISABLE
OR FEASIBLE TO USE SUCH WEAFONSo WHAT IS 'BEING FROPOS£D AT THIS
TIME IS NOT A REVERSAL OF OUR EXISTING NATIONAL POLICY BUT AN
INCREASE IN OUR NON-NUCLEAR CAPABlLITifS TO PROVIDE A GRFATFR
DEGREE OF VERSATILITY TO OUR LIMITED WAR FORCES UNQUOTE QUOTE
THIS I SST II I.. OUR POL!CTY UNQUOTE
