JUDY WOODRUFF, CNN ANCHOR: Ten days before U.S. President Bill Clinton's visit, satellite images of Pakistan's growing nuclear weapons stockpile have been made public. CNN's David Ensor joins us now with more -- David.</s>DAVID ENSOR, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Judy, what's striking about these pictures, to analysts, is that they show that the Pakistanis have moved ahead to build about a dozen garages for their best missiles, putting them in a cluster close together. That makes them highly vulnerable to a first-strike attack by India. These are the M-11 mobile missiles that are in those garages. They're not now but could in a few years be fitted with nuclear warheads. The Federation of American Scientists and some other analysts in Washington argue that Pakistan and India should now be given advice by the U.S. on how to deploy a small number of nuclear weapons safely, how to make them less attractive targets for the other side, how to become responsible nuclear powers. But U.S. officials say that would only reward mistaken behavior. President Clinton on his upcoming trip to the two nations will instead continue to try, his aides say, to convince India and Pakistan to give up the nuclear bomb.</s>MADELEINE ALBRIGHT, U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE: We believe the South Asian nuclear tests of May 1998 were a historic mistake.</s>RICHARD HAAS, BROOKINGS INSTITUTION: These countries are not about to get out of the nuclear business. The idea of roll-back, the idea of turning back the clock -- choose your image -- is not on.</s>ENSOR: Administration officials point out that neither country yet has a nuclear warhead small enough for deployment on a missile, and they argue that there's still time to convince India and Pakistan, Judy, not to put nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert.
