It's probably too long for anyone but quick-fingered Schauble to type in, but if you haven't already thrown out that section, read it. The basic conclusion is that, despite the apparent lack of success with chemical warfare (it just kills many civilians but does not a whole lot of military damage to soldiers with protection), the US has increased its interest in the field from a low in 1975. It also details something about what the various chemical weapons in use are like and how to protect oneself from them (via gas masks, ponchos (don't laugh! They work!), etc). Good reading.
