State Department Cable 69551 to US Embassy United Kingdom, 'Indian Nuclear Intentions'
This document was made possible with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY)
The Canadian embassy had asked the State Department for information on the intelligence reports from earlier in the year that an Indian nuclear test was “imminent.” The State Department denied the request, but informed the Canadians that the reports were so numerous and their “congruity, apparent reliability, and seeming credibility” so striking that it had become necessary to update official thinking about Indian intentions.
