Question

If HMGs answer at 519 c1659 that, "US Govt has so far only called for a feasibility study", & that it was, "therefore premature to consider scope for an agreement to limit computer viruses as battlefield weapons", indicates that if study shows such weapons are "feasible" HMG would support such an agreement.
