A dime-size- d spot, unless wiped off quickly, would kill a man in two minutes. It would penetrate ordinary clothing and some types of gas masks. Authorities for these statements were U.

According to Major Graham, who had charge of the disposal of the chemical, "tabun was a military secret until about six months ago when some information concerning it leaked out to the American public. One thousand tons were spared from destruction and shipped to the army proving grounds at Aberdeen, Maryland.
