UNSCOM's chairman, presented these findings privately to Iraqi officials in Baghdad this month, they rejected them.
But the Iraqis are dab hands at hiding their assets, as Unscom's inspectors have long complained.
UNSCOM-plus solution (though not, as yet, an acceptable one) but insisting on a two-month deadline, which is also unacceptable.
The Iraqis promised to show only one new document to Unscom, and that in the presence of monitors from the Security Council.
On the same day, however, American officials confirmed to the New York Times that American spies had worked undercover on the Unscom teams.
As part of the Unscom team, they had gained not only first-hand knowledge of the weapons investigation but also a protected presence inside Baghdad.

U2s, which were used to take spy photographs at Unscom's request.
In order to speed things up, there has been talk of drawing up a list of what Unscom needs in order to wrap up its inspections.
Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM), will take over from David Kay, who is stepping down as Tenet's special adviser on the search for banned weapons in Iraq.
Iraq's list was out of date and contained only about 500 names, despite the fact that UNSCOM had earlier put together a list of about 3, 500 names.
The mandate of UNSCOM-the United Nations Special Commission on Iraq-was to see to the dismantling of Iraq's offensive-warfare programs: chemical and biological weapons, nuclear weapons, and longrange missiles.
Their task, Mr Annan stressed, was not to strike a new bargain with Mr Hussein but to get him to rescind his ban on American nationals in Unscom.
The newspapers made brief mention of the attack before gliding on to their daily tirade against Richard Butler, the head of Unscom, whose job it is to disarm Iraq.
Iraq suspended cooperation with UNSCOM on October 31, as part of its campaign to get the United Nations to lift the strict sanctions it imposed after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
The Iraqi regime, under military threat and the pressure of severe economic sanctions, has permitted this intrusion and allowed UNSCOM inspectors access to its facilities and personnel to a remarkable degree.
After the Iraqis bowed to the imminence of American bombs and agreed to resume co-operation with Unscom, Mr Butler demanded that they produce a slew of documents deemed vital to Unscom's work.
Unscom was told once before that it had ticked off all there was to know, only to discover almost by accident that Iraq was still concealing an industrial-sized chemical and biological weapons programme.
The real drama is the rift he has managed to expose in the Security Council, at a time when Unscom still needs its full backing if the inspectors are ever to complete their task.
Special Commission's (UNSCOM) knowledge about Iraq's nuclear program.
The United Nations Special Commission on Iraq (UNSCOM) inspectors have had more extensive and thorough access in Iraq over a greater period of time than inspectors would have in any country under even an extreme reading of the CWC.
Ambassador Rolf Ekeus of Sweden, who heads UNSCOM and who helped negotiate the CWC, remains a supporter of the new treaty, but he has stated candidly and categorically that it would not be effective against countries like Iraq that act clandestinely and in bad faith.
