Annotation:

Author: Joshua Lederberg. Date Written: June 5, 2002. KW: this is a followon to S85 BBABSU; I was so worried that LBJ would invoke nuclear weapons, I hoped for damage limitation if he did! Is it feasible to establish thresholds other than zero-use? Likely not; and the long term proliferative consequences of any use are likely to be very much against US interests; I had to think of the grunt in the foxhole, reaction to his being sacrificed on the altar of non-use. It probably comes to that! jl 6/5/02
