At the time the Japanese government reiterated its three non-nuclear principles in 1967, the U.S. had contingency plans for deployment of the Genie nuclear air-to-air missiles to Japan. The relevant page in the 1967 CINCPAC History that contains the details remains classified, but the Genie and its nuclear armament is identified by the History's index pages and glossary.
