U
SE OF DEADLY FORCE AUTHORIZED, warn the promi-
nently displayed red-and-white signs at the U.S. Army
arsenal at Pine Bluff, Ark. Situated about 35 miles from
Little Rock, off a busy state highway, the facility is the
only producer of toxins for chemical weapons in the U.S.
Since work resumed in December after a 19-year halt, the
arsenal has manufactured a chemical called DF, which
becomes nerve gas when mixed with alcohol. Workers are
also busy incinerating some 94,000 lbs. of an obsolete hal-
lucinogenic agent known as BZ. Yet area residents profess
to have few fears about the facility. "Nothing bothers peo-
ple out here," says James Morgan, 46, an insurance agent
who lives near the site. "I guess it's because they've been
around the arsenal so long."
Pine Bluff is the only Army facil-
ity that makes lethal chemical com-
pounds, but it is one of eight around
the country where they are stored .*
The entire U.S. arsenal consists of
some 30.000 tons of deadly liquids
and gases. About two-thirds of that
hoard is kept in drums; the rest is
contained in weapons ranging from
some 3 million artillery rounds to
nearly 500,000 rockets. Though vir-
tually all are scheduled to be de-
stroyed by the mid-1990s. the stock-
piles have raised safety issues. Con-

gress learned last April that the Army has discovered more
than 1,000 leaking chemical weapons since 1981.
The Nixon Administration halted production in 1969
after a nerve-gas accident at the Army's Dugway Proving
Ground in Utah killed more than 6,000 sheep. However,
fears of an overwhelming Soviet advantage in chemical
weapons led Congress to vote three years ago to resume
manufacturing. As a safety measure, all new U.S. chemical
weapons are made of "binary" compounds that are less
toxic by themselves and can be stored and shipped sepa-
rately. Only when the substances are combined, as in a
fired artillery shell or an exploded bomb, do they become
deadly.
Nonetheless, the Democrat-controlled Congress remains
uneasy over the prospect of rebuilding the U.S. chemical arse-
nal. While the Reagan Administration views such weapons as
a deterrent against aggression, law-

makers earlier this year slashed $109
million from a Defense Department
request for $186 million for chemical
arms. Opponents have gained anoth-
er powerful ally in the U.S. chemical
industry. In April, Robert Roland,
president of the Chemical Manufac-
turers Association, which represents
the major U.S. chemical companies,
testified before Congress for a "strong,
effective international treaty" to ban
such weapons. Representatives of
U.S., Canadian, Japanese and Euro-
pean firms are now drafting a set of
recommendations for facilitating an
agreement and inspecting chemical-
industry plants.
