Patrick J. Parker served as the deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence. He recalled a consensus among senior intelligence officials in the [[Pentagon]] that the Soviets were "understandably frightened of the situation and eager to contain it" during the 1973 [[Yom Kippur War]], specifically regarding the alleged Soviet warhead shipment to [[Egypt]].[^1]
