Details: Data from aerosol challenges involving Bacillus
anthracis  Ba! for the time period August 1998 to September 1999
was analyzed to determine potential windows of opportunity for
I removal of post-challenge Ames during a ten-day period following
each aerosol challenge. It was estimated based on.spore _
concentrations of material used that any aerosol challenge
involving greater than or equal to three animals would constitute
enough available Ba to have assembled the anthrax-laced letters.
All Ames challenges in the time period for which key card access
records are available involved at least three animals.

Synopsis: To document the results and completion of the anthrax
letter handling project to track each of the letters from the time of
collection.
Enclosure s!: One sp the four letters reparedby Special Agent  SA!H |and SA[;:::;::::;f;]reflecting informatio contained in the United Sta es rmy e ical
Research Institute of &#39; &#39; ases  USAMRIID! case file andthe recollection of SAEfffffifff:Eifjwho was present for much of the b6
early activity with the letters. A floppy disk with an electronic bvc
copy of these four spreadsheets is contained in an FD34O in the 1A
section of the file.
Details: The case files maintained at the United States Army Medical
Research Institute of Infectious Diseases  USAMRIID! for each of the
four anthrax letters were photocopied in their entirety, and a review
of all relevant documents in Automated Case Support  ACS! was
conducted in order to establish a timeline of the handling of the
letters at USAMRIID. Numerous additional USAMRIID personnel who had 
contact with the letters were interviewed to document their work with
the letters and to clarify any conflicting information. Some law
enforcement personnel who were present for key events with the
letters were also consulted.
- The following representation is complete with respect to
all information available and addresses the handling of the letters
and envelopes only. The handling of the powdered material contained
in each letter was not tracked as part of this project.

Synopsis: To provide a summary of the investigative efforts
into the water purification systems in USAMRIID and resulting
water collection.
Details: In 2004, the Amerithrax investigation looked into
the U.S. Army Research Institute of Infectious Diseases
 USAMRIID&#39;s! water sources and the filtration systems used by
both Buildings 1425 and 1412. Interviews of Principle
Investigators, technicians, and Facilities Management
personnel were conducted to determine the different
purification methods in each building, and the types of water
used for Bacillus anthracis  B.a.! studies.
On 2/25/2004,[::::::::::::::%

stated that the water
used to make media and reagents in the suites of Building[:::;:kame from a large filtration system in suite[:;] This rsys em was later confirmed to be a Millipore filtra ion b
system. For washing and storage of B.a.,[:::::::]utilized b7C
bottles of sterile water for in&#39;ection urchased from B. Braun product number S9200 SS!. SA[i;;;:::::::;::]1s in the
process of obtaining the same bo es 0 s erile water throughCBSU. Bruce Ivins learned from[;:::;:::::::::]that distilled
deionized MilliQ water is used or lS Ames spore
preparations.
I lstated in a 3/2/2004 interview
that a deionized water filtration system is housed in the
penthouse of Building [:::] This deionized water is further
purified through a Milli ore system prior to use. All the laboratories in Buildingi::::1have access to this water

treatment plant which purifies raw water from the MonocacyRiver. The treatment plant which utilizes sand filtration,has not changed its method of treatment except for thediscontinuation of adding fluoride starting in approximately1996.[:::::::]also provided annual reports of regulated _contaminant monitoring results from 1996 to 2003.
| Lof USAMRIID sI lteam stated that Bui ding 1412 and 1425 avein epen en water purification systems. Building 1412utilizes steam to distill water, and Building 1425 utilizesreverse osmosis  RO!. Neither building has had u rades tothe systems since its inception.  Since th#E::::?i]interview,upgrades to the purification systems have been imp emented in
both Building 1412 and 1425.!.
Each laboratory has its own separate filtrationunits to provide an extra layer of purification. Many ofthese units are Millipore, Aqua Solutions, or Biocel brands.There are different models of each brand, but they allfunction sim&#39; b running the water through several layersof filters.-tiifif::f:::;lprovided a list of all the waterations units curren y in the USAMRIID laboratories, andprovided the locations of each one.

Since the percent viability for a spore preparation can

Synopsis: Comprehensive description of phone calls placed from
Fort Detrick, Maryland, to New Jersey between April 1997 and
December 1999. .
Reference: 279AWF222936Lead Serial 341
Details: In an effort to identify any association between Fort
Detrick personnel and New Jersey, telephone records were obtained
from Fort Detrick for the period of April 1997 to December 1999.
A lead was sent to the Trenton New Jersey Residence Agency of the
Newark Division requesting interviews of all of the New Jersey
telephone number subscribers. Although the interviews identified
a reasonable explanation for a significant number of the
telephone calls, some of the calls to New Jersey telephone
numbers require additional investigation.

Dear Dr. Ivins: 
It was a pleasure speaking with you the other day. I much appreciate your willingness to work
with us concerning our new anthsporicidal material. We are looking forward to doing in vitro
evaluating whether or not this material is effective againstantlnnzt spores given its efficacy
against other species of bacillus spores. These studies would involve mixing the n1ate.r.ia.l. with
the spores for varying lengths of time and then either separating the spores or culturing them
directly to determine the viability. We might also do 
xation of the spore preparations to
determine if there are any ultrastructute changes in the spores that can be observed with electron
microscopy.
My technicians are fully trained in the contagious pathogen handling and have experience with
level 3 biosafety requirements. They, as T., are willing to undergo both the anthrax and plague
irwntlnizations, although I was hoping that we might be able to administer the vaccines at the
University of Michigan» This might allow us to only make one trip to USAMRID before we
begin the studies. If we could either purchase the vaccine from you or from a cormnercial
distributor, we would be happy to then administer it and document titers in any way you feel
appropriate.
I look forward to the initiation of this work. Ibelieve it could be a very interesting collaboration
that could eventually lead to animal studies. On December 19, commensurate with the filing of
patents on this material, I will send you additional data on the formulations and our studies
concerning the ability of these materials to inactivate spores both in. vitro and in vivo.
Sincerely, -
Division o@lergy

Dal:
My colleagues andl would like to extend our thanks and ap &#39; &#39; u and Dr.
Ivins for the opportunity to work at USAMRIID. Dr. Ivins,|:_l_|were very helpful and cooperative in facilitating our stu res as we as providing
ease, ent technical assistance. Their efforts made our stay at USAMRIID both pleasant
and highly productive. In particular, our discussions with Dr. Ivi.nS provided Valuable
insights which will enable us to better define and develop our technology.
The data generated in these studies serves to clarify and validate the results which we
have seen in our model systems  see attachments!. We were able to block growth of both
strains of B. anthmcis with emulsion incorporated media  Table 1!. We also were
successful in reducing both Vollum and Arnes spore counts by 95%  as assessed by CFUof viable organisms!. These reductions were observed at spore concentrations up to 1 X
105/ml  Figure 1!, and were seen even in conditions which limited gc1&#39;minati.0n  room
temperature incubation!. Decreased numbers of spores also were identi
edmicroscopically in the media after treatment. In contrast, no reduction in counts was
noted with. an initial spore inoculunn of 1 X 103/ml  Figure 2!. These conditions probably
overwhelm the emulsion given that the concentration of spores is approaching the
concentration of lipid vesicles. However, extremely high spore concentrations may alterthe effect of the lipid in other ways and we are designing experiments with inhibitors of
germination used at lower spore densities to clarify this result.
We were pleased with this outcome and the personal interaction that produced them.
Given the non-toxic nature of these emulsions, we feel that they may have a role in the
decontamination and treatment of agents such as anthrax and alphavirus. We look
forward to future collaborative efforts with Dr. Ivins and his laboratory staff. With the
diverse nature of our respective programs, we believe that a cooperative approach will
serve to accelerate the development of these compounds.
