After being advised of the identity of the interviewing Agent and the purpose of the interview, Ivins, provided the following information: Ivins has been employed at USAMRIID since 12/80. Ivins has a B.S. degree from the University of Cincinnati in bacteriology, a M.S. degree from the University of Cincinnati in microbiology and a Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati in microbiology. Ivins does have an inventory of his Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis). Ivins has maintained a strain inventory of his B. anthracis collection since before 9/11/01. A complete inventory of the Bacteriology Division's B. anthracis collection was completed byl lon 1/29/02. Ivins noted thatl lis probably the most knowledgeable person in the United States related to B. anthracis spores. Ivins stated that Dugway Proving Grounds in Utah usually makes the spore preparations used in animal challenges at USAMRIID. Ivins maintains a detailed inventory of all these spore production preparations that have been sent from Dugway. All of this inventory is accounted for. Access to the strains of B. anthracis is logged by facility key cards which are maintained in the security office. Ivins first began working on B. anthracis at USAMRIID in This work began as a result of the Sverdlovsk incident. Following this incident, I lsent out a request to various laboratories to obtain samples of B. anthracis. Prior to that time I lwas at USAMRIID working with vaccine strains of B. anthracis. lnow works atl I 1980~81. Ivins classifies his work with B. anthracis as vaccine development; specifically improving current vaccines and working on the development of a new vaccine.

Ivins did not regularly begin using Ames in his research until showed that the Ames strain was very "hot" in 1996. Prior to that time, Vellum 1B was the standard strai~ that was used in Ivins research. Full genetic characterization has not been done on all strains used in the Bacteriology Division, however, Ivins does know the properties of most of the strains, including the biochemical characteristics as well as virulence factors. Regarding the origin.of the Ames strain, Ivins recalls !obtaining Ames for the first time in late 1980, possibly ~l~a~t-e~D=-e~cember or in early 1981. Ivins has reviewed!

Ivins is also unaware of anyone who has access to the materials or the ability to work with Select Agents who appears to be unstable or exhibit mental or emotional problems. Ivins speculated that if he were going to make anthrax to send through the mail, the first thing he would have to do would be to find someone who knew how to make the powder. He thought that this could either bel lor someone from Du wa Prov1n Grounds. As far as Iv1ns knows Iv1ns does not know if Battelle has the capability to make the powders. Ivins stated that it would take someone with a degree in the sciences or someone who had great technical expertise and the ability to work the requisite equipment in order to make dried materials. Ivins fears that this prior event is a test for a larger scale attack or an attack with another Select Agent such as smallpox. Ivins is not aware of an Internet website for bacteriology, however, there is an Intranet website which is maintained byl lwhich contains SOPs on working with materials. Ivins recalled an incident which occurred in the late 60s or early 70s regarding an individual named George Wright. Wright left Detrick in the late 60s or early 70s and apparently stuck some bottles of liquid B. anthracis cultures in a paint can and took them home. When USAMRIID began working with B. anthracis again in the early 1980s, Wright brought the can back to USAMRIID. Ivins noted that this would not contain the Ames strain because the Ames strain had not been discovered when Wright worked at USAMRIID. ? Ivins stated that Wright died several years ago.

When asked why he was able to find B.A., when the other swabbing efforts did not, IVINS explained that he utilizes a more aggressive and extensive method for collecting samples. He samples a larger area, especially hard to reach and dusty areas, and uses more force. He also explained that prior to the large scale swabbing survey by the Center for Health Promotion and Preventative Medicine (CHPPM), he,k ltook samples outside the B3 lab an subsequently cleaned the area thoroughly with bleach.

I After being advised of the identity of the agents and the purpose of the interview, IVINS provided the following information: IVINS provided the agents with a packet of materials that he prepared including: a list of individuals that the agents might want to contact; statements of his work on both the Daschle and New York Post letters; a spore calculation form far the Leahy letter; and ?a document labeled as "Hoover Statement" in which IVINS advised of his work with the letters as well as his independent swabbing project and safety concerns. These materials are attached herein. IVINS advised that there was a safety problem with the handling of the anthrax letters at USAMRIID that put people's health at risk. Two people at USAMRIID had something to gain by the letters being analyzed at the lab, and the situation was just a nightmare for everyone else involved. As such, these two individuals had the most to lose from any problems uncovered with handling of the letters.

IVINS remembered wearing gloves when he handled the Daschle letter in the hood, but he could not recall if he wore gloves at any other time while working with the letter. IVINS did not handle the Leahy, Post, or Brokaw letters. He worked with the powder from the Leahy and Post letters and did not work with any of the material from the Brokaw letter. IVINS advised that latex gloves were used by people working in B3. The gloves were not of the greatest quality as they were bargain gloves and sometimes had holes or were torn. IVINS did not wear gloves when touching any commonly handled items in B3. Outside of IVINS' work group. the B3 workspace was shared withl I During the time that Suite B4 was down for renovation, many of the people that usually worked in B4 had to work in B3 instead. Suites B3 and B4 are connected in the back, and therefore one can usually pass between the two suites. When B4 went down for renovation it was sealed off from B3 as a cold area. The ice machine and the centrifuge were in B3, therefore anyone who needed to use that e ui ment would have entered B3. This included: In approximately 1997, IVINS received some very clean Bacillus anthracis (B.a.) spore preparations from Dugway Proving Grounds. He thinks that all of the Dugway material had been fermented, as there was some talk about growing the B.a. in either 8 or 10 liter fermentors. The spores were double gradient purified.

There is a record of how much material was initially received as well as how much has been removed and where it went. IVINS thinks that all of the Dugway material has been stored with his lab group and kept in the two original flasks it was placed in. Each flask initially had 500 milliliters of wet spore preparation/ and only one flask of material remains. IVINS advised that 1 milliliter or less of the Dugway material could be taken and it wouldn't be missed. Double purified material needs to have a chromatogram done to determine whether it was run through a gradient. A trace of the gradient would remain on the material and should be indicated by a peak on the chromatogram. Some possible gradients include sucrose hypaque, renografin (which became known as renocal but may not be manufactured any longer)/ or phycoll. 1 IVINS did the following calculation estimates to determine how much of the Dugway spores would have been missing if they had been used in the anthrax mailings. 2.0-2.5 grams of material were present in each letter with a 10 8 /mL spore concentration. In order to achieve that spore concentration/ 80-100L of runs would have been necessary and approximately 300mL of the Dugway material would have been required. This amount of missing material would have been noticed. IVINS thinks that most of the people at USAMRIID use broth to grow B.a. although he can't say for certain how everyone else there grows their spores. Although B.a. can be grown on agar/ nicer spores are produced in broth and they can be purified more easily and are "hotter". If one needs to purify more than a very small amount of B.a. it is difficult to use agar as you would need numerous plates. 1 1 1 Spores grown up on agar are dirtier than broth grown. IVINS does not know if this is because the spores pick up debris from the agar or if there are media components on the surface of the spore. No matter how agar grown spores are washed/ some agar always remains on the spores. The protocol that IVINS used to grow B.a. is the same one published in the paper titled "Efficacy of a human anthrax vaccine in guinea pigs rabbits and rhesus macaques against challenge by Bacillus anthracis isolates of diverse geographical origin". IVINS I land several other USAMRIID scientists co-authored 1 1 1 BEI Section 1.PDF 010371Anthrax Page 25 of 1274 't o ~D-302a (l~.ev: 10-6-95) .? o o b7C b6 2 7 9A-WF- 2 2 2 9 3 6J.______.I 3 0 2 Continuation ofFD-302 of the paper. All Ames spores that IVINS uses either come from the Dugway stock or have been made by his lab group by the published protocol. The spores from the three letters that IVINS saw looked very different from each other. He described the spores from the Daschle letter as being very, very clean; the spores from the Leahy letter as looking good, with some clumping; and the spores from the Post letter as okay, with a good bit of clumping. IVINS asked I lof the FBI if the Daschle letter could represent "downstream processing" in that the spores either went from bad to good or good to bad. At the agent's request, IVINS advised that he would check for any paperwork he may have submitted requesting a government vehicle to travel to Covance in Denver, Pennsylvania in the fall of 2001. He advised that he would askl !Last Name Unknown (LNU) who handles all such requests. IVINS also provided the agents with a copy of two emails that he received from the American Red Cross requesting his assistance with canteening for the FBI'S December pond operation near Frederick, Maryland. IVINS did not have any copies of the Special Pathogens Section (SPS) records for the Post and Brokaw letters. He advised might have some knowledge of the timeline of the letters at USAMRIID.

He thought that there may have been a new system installed around that time. IVINS usually obtained office paper from the stock which had been ordered by the Bacteriology Division. He brought it into the office in a big box and would pull out a ream when he needed it. He did not keep any pre-stamped envelopes in his office.

He does not remember if decontaminated the hood. IVINS did not routinely record sucli t 1ngs during that time frame. IVINS was recently at Home Depot and saw the many different grades of sandpaper that they sell which made him think about the use of sand in purifying B.a. A pasty block of spores can be shaken with sand of varying coarseness to achieve very pure or fine spores. IVINS advised that Iraq has very fine sand.

Last fall, I became concerned that the fine powder of the Daschle letter aBEl as well as other potential anthrax letters and samples might not be adequately contained with the practices that were being used here in the Institute. I also was concerned that contamination of personnel might lead to contamination of areas outside the containment suites. Specifically.! lrepeateelly had mentioned her concern that she may have been exposed to powder and possibly contaminated. She also repeatedly voiced safety reservations about the way that incoming samples were handled during "Operation Noble Eagle." These concerns and my decisions to perform surveillance cultures and the results of those cultures are accurately described in the attached document entitled "ExSum -18 APR 02, Bruce Ivins." The dates for the cultures taken in April are the 15!11 and 16th, as indicated by my corrections. Also, in paragraph 2 of that document, "December of 2002" should read "December of2001". In response to direct questions, I have the following answers: Q. How was the Daschle letter handled? A.

From the passbox, I took it to the hood opened it. and scraped some of the powder from the envelope and letter into a pre-weighed Wheaton vial. I was surprised at how fine the powder was. It floated around inside the hood like dust in the sunlight. After removing the powder, I wiped off the vial with bleach, put the vial in a 50 m1 polypropylene tube and bleached that tube. I then sent the vial out through the passbox into the for weighing. I showered out ofB3, went to the B3 assbox retrieved the vial and tube and went t lab. At the balance, I removed the vial from the tube and weighed the vial. After weighing, I put the vial back in the voiYorovylene tube, returned to B-3, put it through the passbox and. once inside B3. took it to the hood irL___jtgain. There, I added water to the powder and did serial dilutions for plate counts. After that, the vial stayed in the lab. I took the letter in the ziplocks, bleached the outside of the ziplocks, and returned the letter in the ziplocks out through the passbox. It was returned to Special Pathogens, but I do not remember if! returned it teekc-or someone else did. rue. I made laboratory notes that contain dates and descriptions. These notes can't be released because they are considered evidence for the Amerithrax Grand Jury Investigation. Later, I also received vials of powder from the New York Post and Leahy aael Neo;r1 York Post specimens. These vials The powders were already contained in tubes~ and the contents had already been weighed. They came in the same way~ through the B3 passbox.

Did you tell anyone that you had done the surveillance cultures outside the containment area? A. I mentioned td that I was going to chec~ a!desk in December and told her after I did it that about 1/2 of the cultures were suspicious for anthrax. I d1 't keep records or verify the cultures because I was concerned that records might be obtained under the Freedom oflnformation Act.

In the future, I would not work with dried or powdered spores except ur=Jconditions. There needs to be more cleaning inside the suites and maybe surveillance. There may be some laxity in Bacteriology, alse-and. from what I have heard~ possibly also in DSD. Most of the workers in Bacteriology are careful, but a few same are somewhat careless.slo:flff.

Plague AGI may come back. since the AGI cultures are now done in 1412 byj Q. Are there any secondary containers in that rotor, like sealed cups? A. No. Sometimes the mae a bottle breaks and you can hear a slurping sound when the bottlemaes are-!?. removed. Q. Does the centrifuge have a floor hood or other containment system? A. No. There used to be a system to evacuate the air in the centrifuge through a filter in case there was a break, but that hasn't been used in years. Q. That wouldn't help if there was a broken tube, would it? A.No. Q. Has the ventilation system worked OK as far as you know? Are there magnehelic gauges at the clean room entry? A. I don't think the suite has ever gone positive. I have never noticed the magnehelic readings in the entry. The gauge between the office area and the hallway are barely negative. Q.

For aerosol challenges, the stocks of Bacillus anthracis (B.a.) are kept in Suite B3. Dilutions are made and kept in large glass bottles. These bottles are placed in bags and then a transport can. They are transported to the Building 1412 airlock and placed in the refrigerator one to three days prior to the spray. The pre-challenge inoculum incubates overnight in Roomc===J On the aay of the challenq,, the B.a. spores are heat shocked at I . cooled in ice, jnd Jlaced in 9-10 mL tubes. One tube per animal is prepared. The dilution is plated using Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) from the Tissue Culture Group. F As the challenge runs, the all glass impinger (AGI) water samples are collected after each run and given to IVINS to be plated. The colonies are counted the next day to determine the difference between the pre-challenge concentration and the dose that each animal actually received. The used agar plates are placed in a bag and autoclaved a few days later along with the rest of the spray trash. If a spray; is conducted on a Tuesday or Wednesday, the plates are read the following day or two and clean up is on Friday. If it was a very busy week, clean up might wait until Monday. Plates, paper, and trash to be autoclaved are placed in a tidy sack, which is a large, extra thick paper bag. The individual's name and where the trash is from are noted on the sack and it is brought to the basement where the animal caretakers autoclave it. IVINS does not know how long the bag sits in the basement prior to being autoclaved. After a certain amount of time has passed after being plated, B.a. colonies would no longer be able to be counted. After five to seven days, B.a. spores would form on any nutritional agar medium. Once the spores have formed, they are viable for a long time. There are still viable spores on the original B.a. Ames slant from Texas when it was last checked for the repository. Spores do not need nutrients because they are inert. Agar grown B.a. spores are almost alway~ clumpier and dirtier and are not as high quality as broth grown spores.

When IVINS arrived, the scientists who worked on BA cultured BA, or "subcultured" BA by taking an inoculation loop, scraping the loop across a plate of multiple BA colonies, and then using the scraped loop to inoculate a fresh culture for BA growth. IVINS was surprised at this method of inoculation. Before beginning work at USAMRIID, IVINS sub-cultured bacteria by using an inoculation loop to "pick" a single colony of bacteria, instead of taking multiple bacterial colonies as done at USAMRIID. The single colony method was used by many scientists so that sub-culturing would not lead to genetic diversity in growing cultures of bacteria. The multiple colon s -culturing method used at USAMRIID was recommended by a respected scientist in the BA field. In 1983 and e two plasmids present in BA were discovered, and IVINS then everted to the single colony method of subculturing. Further, when IVINS reverted to the single colony method, IVINS also used the original 1981 agar slant of the Ames BA and started a fresh culture of Ames to use in his, IVINS, research. b7c IVINS noted that MIKESELL moved to Ohio several years ago and no longer worKed at USAMRIID. MIKESELL was considered an alcoholic while MIKESELL worked at USAMRIID, due to MIKESELL drinking a lot of hard liquor.

IVINS provided the following: 11 L-broth" is not Leighton-Doi broth. It is a media composed of yeast extract, beef extract, and sodium chloride, which produces little spore formation with Ames. When Leighton-Doi broth was used, it would have been noted as "L-D broth" of Leighton-Doi. IVINS recently told another FBI agent that they make the final resuspension of spores in water for injection (WFI), which is endotoxin-free bottled water, but he was wrong. After his conversation with the agent, he asked~~------~~~--~--~----------~ I I and learned that they now do the final resuspens1on 1n USAMRIID house-distilled water which has gone through a deionizing column. They also use this water to make Leighton-Doi broth for growing Ba. IVINS has never had to add antifoam or any other chemical to his production method for producing Ames spores. The shaking of the shaker flasks in the broth production is not enough to create a need for antifoam or any similar product. He is not aware of any protocol used at USAMRIID which calls for the use of antifoam with Ames. The protocol for the aerosol challenges does not call for antifoam. IVINS showed SAsl Iandi lthe difference between Ames grown on agar and Ames grown 1n broth. They use broth-grown material for all of the challenges because the Ames preparations made that way are so clean in comparison to agargrown material. IVINS does not recall ever sending Ames to BIOPORT. In 2001, he sent Ames spores to BMI. IVINS I lwent to a conference yn post-exp5sure prophylaxis problems. At this conference,_ _(phonetic) of BMI talked about Ames which belonged to PERRY MIKESELL. MIKESELL could have taken Ames to BMI, but it should have been documented.

IVINS provided his updated list during this interview. SSAI lpointed out a mathematical error on the list to IVINS.

When challenges were scheduled and required the 1997 Dulway Ames, the bottle of Ames spores was taken to either Roomc:::J or Sometimes it was taken there a day or two 1 of building 1412. prior to the scheduled spray. The aliquots of Ames were prepared in 1412 from the main bottle .. The dilution tubes made from the Ames collected by the all-glass-impinger (AGI) were plated on tryptic soy agar plates. These dilution tubes of Ames were stored in the first floor cold room until the plates had been counted. Sometimes the tubes might stay in the cold room for 24 hours to several days following a spray. This cold room is a walk-in refrigerator on the first floor, not in the basement of 1412. Other than this Ames material temporarily stored in 1412, the larger quantities of Ames were kept in suite B3. The B3 material was not under lock and key, but was kept inside the hot suite.

If spores clumped, they tested the addition of Tween during the challenge. He does not use Tween in his routine spore production or challenges. During fermentation, as a culture gets older, there can be foaming on top. An electronic probe in the fermenter senses the foaming and injects antifoam.

The Judge Advocate General's (JAG) prior request regarding the removal of original notebooks from USAMRIID's premises was acknowledged by SSAI I and it was explained that a review of the notebooks could occur with minimal impact to ongoing research. IVINS provided the interviewing Agents with a three page document which contained a list of all of the notebooks assigned to him during his tenure at USAMRIID. Fifty-one (51) notebooks were identified by both the USAMRIID notebook number and a number assigned to each by IVINS. Some of IVINS' notebooks were submitted to the USAMRIID library for archival. The library did not store the notebooks on a permanent basis thus some of IVINS' notebooks had been previously destroyed. A review of library records would indicate which were destroyed and which were maintained in the library archive.

This was an order that came from the General. IVINS could not recall wh0 the commanding officers were at the time. The command was in contact withl lfrom Bioport who elicited the support of USAMRIID because they were having problems with the potency of the ahthrax vaccine.

IVINS thought that I lmight have some insight regarding 11 hot 11 spores and the s1tuat1on they were faced with at Bioport. It was lat~r determined that the guinea pigs were the cause of the failed challenges. IVINS could not recall the defect in the .animals, but stated that Bioport bred their own guinea pigs. After determining that the guinea pigs were the problem, Bioport still encountered problems with their potency testing. Fifty percent (50%) of the Guinea pigs were dying upon being challenged. I lfrom Bioport formulated a greater response math formula utili~ing four (4) different dilutions and looking for a mathematical response relating to survival. IVINS described that the doctors at Bioport felt that a fifty percent (50%) survival rate was acceptable. This caused a disagreement between IVINS and the doctors at Bioport. IVINS did not agree that a fifty percent (50%) .survival rate was acceptable for human beings. IVINS further explained that I I formulated a mathematical formula which consisted of 11 playing with the numbers 11 until the numbers reflected a survival rate acceptable to the FDA for approval of the'vaccine. IVINS did not fight this issue any further because it was out of his control and area of responsibilities while assisting Bioport. IVINS' group worked on this project until October 16, 2001 with no resolution. I phanged the math, in which the potency of the vaccine reflected the acceptance for FDA approval.

IVINS, who was I already familiar with the identities-of the interviewing agents, provided the following information: In regard to Bacillus a thracis (Ba) Ames ? ~ IVINS has maintained over the year IVINS has provided all of his samples, o:t sabsampi::es of a:tJ: o h s sam les to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). When SA went through IVINS inventory of samples inside conta1nment Suite B3 of building 1412, USAMRIID, I Jtook all remaining Ames samples and locked them in a lockbox inside B3. To clarify issues about the origin of several samples of Ames, IVINS referred to a letter he had prepared for SA on September 4, 2003 after researching hir:;s:;...______, documentat1on. He provided a copy of this letter to SSAI during this interview. ~---~ I I Only one subculture of Ames was prepared in 1985, and IVINS did not prepare the sample himself. The origin of the July 30, 1985 subculture was the original 1981 Ames slant, but IVINS is unsure of the handling of it in terms of whether or not the Ames was passaged between the 1981 and 1985 samples. He does not know of any other information which would clarify that issue and cannot say for certain that the one 1985 sample came directly from the 1981 slant. He also does not know if the 1985 sample is vegetative cells or spores. Back during that time-frame, they grew Ames in broth, added glycerol, and froze the samples. The 1985 sample is not labeled with the date to IVINS recollection. IVINS suggested that be interviewed about the 1985 sample because he believes they were the researchers who prepared it. After some period of time, IVINS was unsure of the date, IVINS never went back to the 1985 sample to make new Ames preparations. In 1987, IVINS,I !prepared two sets of Ba samples. Both the Ames strain and Vollum 1B strain were each prepared in two ways: Leighton-Doi broth and sheep's blood agar.

These samples were made in June 1987. The Ames made byl lin 1987 was produced in May 1987 1 and the paper documentation IVINS has on this sample is in their handwriting. IVINS is not absolutely certain that the FBI has the 1987 samples of Ames made byl I The samples were at one time stored frozen in the chest freezer in B3. If the samples were present when SAl !inventoried IVINS' Ames (meaning all of the Ames in Suite B3) 1 then the samples should be in the lockbox 1 and in the FBI's possession. The 1989 subculture is the one IVINS made himself from the 1981 original slant. IVINS does not recall how the 1985 and 1987 samples are labeled. He does not believe they are labeled with the dates of production. IVINS just routinely identified the samples by their location in his laboratory. Regarding samples transferred between USAMRIID and Dugway Proving Grounds 1 IVINS' shipment request form for the October 1992 Ames shipment to Dugway showed a concentration of 8 x 10 8 spores per milliliter (ml) . This concentration matches that shown on a folded page stapled onto page 56 of laboratory notebook #2064. The entry on the folded page which shows 8.3 x 10 spores per ml is listed as a Leighton-Doi preparation of Ames from May 1987. That sample was the one prepared by not by IVINS. Therefore 1 IVINS believes the sample of Ames he sent to Dugway in 1992 was the May 19871 !preparation. The 1997 shipment of Ames to Dugway was spores from RMR 1030 to be used to produce the spores for RMR 1029. After looking in his laboratory notebook 1 #4010 1 IVINS provided the concentration of RMR 1030 as 2.5-2.9 x 10 10 spores per ml. It was a liquid preparation. On page 86 of IVINS' laboratory notebook #3655 1 (#19 in his numbering system) he estimated RMR 1030 at 1.5 x 10 10 spores per ml. IVINS suggested that this estimate be compared with his shipping request form for the 1997 Dugway shipment of Ames. If the concentration on the form is from 1-3 x 10 10 spores per ml, and if the forms shows that the sample was in a liquid state, IVINS would be certain that the 1997 shipment was RMR 1030. He could not locate this form in his office during the interview.

The record was not kept as any kind of precise inventory for security reasons. The amounts of remaining material were only estimates and were not accurately measured for each entry. The entry on IVINsol lrecord for Protocol B97-05, dated March 23, 1999, documents the first time that I lwas ever taken to USAMRIID building 1412. The study was not an aerosol challenge, but was an injection challenge on guinea pigs. Only approximately one (1) ml was taken to 1412 at that time. IVINS thinks the rooms used in 1412 for the injection study were r--land I I The entry on the record fori !dated September~1998 was for a characterization and outgrowth study comparing spores which were germinating with vegetative spores. The first aerosol challenge which utilized! lwas conducted on April 3, 2000 and was the first part of Protocol B0003. IVINS mentioned the recent issue discussed with SAl regarding the concentration of RMR 1029 when it was returned~t-0----~ IVINS from the FBI. IVINS had gone back through his documentation after talking with SAl land had listed the concentrations of RMR 1029 at various points in time since its creation. The concentration over time ranged from 3.1-5.2 x 10 10 spores per ml. When the sample was returned to IVINS from the FBI, he found the concentration to be 2.4 x 10 10 spores per ml. For the concentrations determined by IVINS, he swirled the flask of RMR 1029 to mix the spore preparation, removed a subsample and prepared dilutions, then plated the 10- 8 dilution. He then counted the colonies which grew from this dilution. The decreased spore concentration of RMR 1029 after its return to IVINS was not a major problem. They readjusted the sample by adding more spores to it so there was enough Ames material fori !vaccine challenge. IVINS found it interesting or ironic that~~~~~----~ had an Ames sample labeled! I The spores were actually made in 1993.

I ltold IVINS that he was firmly interrogated at the United States Attorney's Office and that the whole experience was just awful. When IVINS was inl lhouse, he noticed! lhad a large safe in which he kept ammunition and weapons. Though ~--~-~lreally likes 11 all that stuff 11 , he is really a nice guy. The book on eugenics which was referenced in a previous interyiew of IVINS was just one of the books IVINS noticed inl I residence. There were?some samples made by IVINS' group using a 1950's protocol. Nutrient agar which was missing the salts was used, and the samples were allowed to 11 just sit and sit and sit 11 IVINS believes these samples were only Vollum 1B and not Ames. b7C o IVINS verified that the Bioport vaccine challenge using RMR 1029 was conducted with rabbits at USAMRIID for Bioport. IVINS did not send Ames to Bioport. When IVINS was at Battelle Memorial Institute, some of the Battelle employees talked about work PERRY MIKESELL did with Ames in the early 1990's. IVINS thought it very strange because IVINS never sent Ames to Battelle. He since wondered if MIKESELL might have sent it to himself or taken it with him when he left USAMRIID.

During the waiting period he accessed his computer on several occasions to look up items unrelated to anthrax work. He had previously, before the interview, searched his archived e-mail for the term 11 Ames 11 to determine how many items referencing Ames were in that archive. The number was apparently in excess of 500. IVINS was advis~d not to delete or alter any files until the FBI work was completed. He was not left alone in his office between the time he was asked for consent and the time the mirror image was made. IVINS did not know whether his e-mail archive, which goes back many years, is maintained on his hard drive or on the USAMRIID server. He advised SSAJ !that his e-mail archive was readily available to the FBior copy~ng, even if it was located on the server. During the course of the interview, IVINS searched his office for all diskettes, CDs, or other electronic storage media which might be related to the Ames strain in any way.

The interview was conducted at IVINS' place of employment/ the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRlTPl at Fort netrick 1 Maryland. IVINS' office telephone number is I IVINS is employed as a Research Microbiologist in Bacteriology Division of USAMRIID and was so employed at the ti of the fall 2001 anthrax attacks. IVINS has been.interviewed numerous times throughout the course of the AMERITHRAX investigation. The purpose of the interview was to elicit additional details concerning specific topics of heightened relevance to the investigation. Prior to the commencement of the interview on March 31 2005, IVINS was presented with a Non-Disclosure Agreement which he reviewed and signed. IVINS' signing of the form was witnessed by the interviewing Agents as memorialized on the form. The NonDisclosure Agreement is filed in the 1A section of the file along with the notes of the interviewing Agents and documents shown to Ivins during the interview. 1 IVINS' Collection of Environmental Samples at USAMRIID ADMINISTRATIVE: Ivins was questioned regarding information he previously provided during an interview on April 2425, 2002, concerning his unilateral decision to collect environmental samples (swabs) from his USAMRIID office work space and other areas in December 2001 and April 2002.

I b6 ofl lwas to assistr--lwith the increased workload in that division occasioned by tne-lall 2001 anthrax attacks. By way of background, Ivins related that in October 2001, the Daschle letter was initially weighed in Room I land then processed and photographed in Rooms I These rooms are part of the Special Pathogens Branch of DSD and are biosafety level two (BSL-2) facilities. All three rooms are located in Building 1425. Following the initial processing of the Daschle letter, IVINS was tasked byl I to assess the concentration of the anthrax powder in the Daschle envelope. ~T~o--~ perform a colony count, IVINS took the Daschle letter to Rooml in Suite B3. ~----~ IVINS identified two reasons vfor his decision to swab his office space in December 2001. First, IVINS did not believy that the Dischle letter ?should have been processed in Rooml Jand !because the biosafety level category (i.e., BSL-2) was not adequate to contain aerosolizable anthrax powder. Consequently, he was concerned that some anthrax may have esc ? of these two rooms.

IVINS did not swab his own work area (i.e., desk, chair, computer) or that ofl I even though they all shared the same room. IVINS collected approximately 20 individual swabs froml ~ork area. When queried as to why he swabbed onlyl workspace, IVINS sa' ? ision was predicated on the layer of dust he observed on' desk and the fact thatl ~as the only one had been workin~ !where lab safety procedures were believed to be substandard. IVINS also offered that the air flow of the heating/ventilating/air conditioning (HVAC) system in the room placed his desk and~~------~ desk "upwind 11 from! ldesk so that he did not exneqt any errant anthrax spores to have settled on his orl Jdesk.

IVINS did not subject these "presumptive" positives to any confirmatory analysis. In response to these presumptive positives, IVINS said he cleaned up I tlesk and left it at that. He took no further actions to decontaminate the room. When questioned as to why he took no remedial measures beyond cleaning upl ldesk, IVINS advised that he did not consider the level of contamination indicated by his sampling to be significant, stating that he did not find "hundreds or thousands" of spores but only a "few presumptives." IVINS said he did not believe a full decontamination of the room was warranted based on his findings, and he did not perceive himself or his office mates to be in any danger. IfiNS conftrmed that he did not t e l l ? b o u t his swabbing o f w o r k s p a c e nor did he advi f the presumptive positive results. IVINS did tell about his findings. He did not suggest to either co-worker that antibiotic prophylaxis might be appropriate. IVINS again reiterated that based on the level of contamination he observed, he did not perceive himself or his coworkers to be at risk. IVINS confirmed that he undertook the collection of environmental samples from his office space on his own initiative and without any prior authorization from superiors. When queried as to why he did not seek permission to swab or voice his about the ossible contamination to USAMRIID's~~-------,--~~~~ or others, IVINS predicted that ould have ismis ive of his concerns and would have to d h1m to "forget .,..-c.:.:=:..:.a.:.::......~i..:rt:."

IVINS also reported that he had no concerns aboutl _competency as al land his decision~t~o~----~ swabf iwork area was not influenced by any perception thatl was negligent inl lsafety practices. ~----~ IVINS was also questioned concerning information he previously provided during an interview on April 24-25, 2002, concerning his unilateral decision to collect environmental samples (swabs) from areas associated with Suite B3 in Building 1425 in April 2002. IVINS advised that he made the decision to unilaterally swab areas rssociated wjth S1)ite B3 when he learned that USAMRIID researcher_ _had recently conducted an environmental sampling of the B3 lab which produced several presumptive positives for Bacillus anthracis. I !reportedly undertook this sampling effort in response to a suspected spill which occurred durin eriment being conducted by researchers As a recautionar measure nasal swabs were taken from In addition to the possible spill and ~~~--~nasal swab, IVINS also recalled that Suite B3 is where he had conducted plating and colony counts on the Daschle letter. Consequently, he suspected that stray spores may have aerosolized during that effort. IVINS advised that the December 2001 and April 2002 environmental samplings represent the only two times he has ever swabbed in the cold areas of USAMRIID outside of the hot suites. IVINS related that during the early 1990s he performed a lot of swabbing inside the hot suites as part of USAMRIID's routine environmental monitoring program. He conducted this sampling at the direction of his superiors. These samples were collected as a routine safety precaution and, unlike his December 2001 and April 2002 collections, were not performed in response to a specific concern or suspected contamination. IVINS has since been excluded from the task of ariy such monitoring. IVINS reported that no isolates related to his December 2001 or April 2002 swabbing initiatives remain in existence. IVINS said he threw them away after obtaining the presumptive positive results.

IVINS was questioned by the interviewing Agents concerning his knowledge of this proposal and any discussions related thereto. IVINS said he was not aware of any planning meetings or discussions concerning any proposal to switch from using anthrax in a liquid slurry form to a dried powdered form for animal challenges. IVINS related that to the best of his knowledge such a switch would have been contrary to USAMRIID policy. IVINS explained thatl lhad distributed a letter to all researchers immediately after the fall 2001 anthrax attacks stating that no powder versions of any select agent were to be made without his express permission. IVINS believed this was also a directive of the Fort Detrick commanding General. IVINS knew of no one at USAMRIID who has produced dried anthrax after the fall 2001 attacks. IVINS said he would be surprised to learn that such a proposal had actually been broached. As an aside he claimed that he gets "really pissed off" by scientists who want to make anything that could be used to kill or make people sick. 1 1 IVINS likewise advised that he had no first-hand personal- ~~~~1~~~~ ~~~:~~ne :~~:ngi~!::d~j~b:xr~~=~~YP~!~~m;oa~~:e I ~~~~~E~d i~Eiii;~; ~ said he learned this by rea 1ng a USAMRIID response tl a FOIA request.

The powdered sample was given to IVINS in a vial labeled either "IA" or "Il." I !represented to IVINS that this suspected anthrax sample had come from Iraq. IVINS said that this particular sample was catalogued at USAMRIID as a "diagnostic agent" to avoid labeling it as Bacillus anthracis.

IVINS further offered that died, his office was tested Missing 2001 E-Mail Archive on IVINS' USAMRIID Computer ADMINISTRATIVE: On January 13, 2005, the hard drive of IVINS' assigned USAMRIID computer was copied by the FBI with his consent. A review of the hard drive copy revealed that e-mails for the year 2001 appeared to be missing from the hard drive, although e-mail archives for prior and subsequent years were located. IVINS was asked by interviewing Agents to explain the reason for this omission. IVINS advised that he was very surprised by the interviewing Agents' claim that his 2001 e-mails were missing from his hard drive. IVINS said he archives e-mails by subject, not by date, however, he believes e-mails from this- time period should be on his computer. As he had mentioned in a previous interview, IVINS stated that he is not sure whether his e-mail archives to his hard drive or to USAMRIID's ?server. IVINS said that if his 2001 emails are on the USAMRIID server rather than his hard drive, he would allow the FBI to make a copy of them. IVINS insisted that he did not delete any batches of e-mail fro1 his compute] pertaining to the year 2001. He agreed to allow SA_ _and an FBI Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) agent copy any e-mails he had archived on the server. This operation, documented separately, was arranged at the end of this interview and took place the same day, shortly after the interview. IVINS' Knowledge of the Use of Fermenters to Grow Anthrax IVINS advised that he has seen the anthrax powders from the fall 2001 attacks because the recovered powders from the envelopes were processed at USAMRIID and IVINS plated the powder to obtain colony counts.

He speculated that such discussions may have occurred, and if they did, they concerned dedicating a room for the fermentation growth of anthrax spores in flasks, not a fermenter. He explained that using a multi-gallon fermenter for this purpose would have been out of the question due to the potentially catastrophic results of an accidental spill of such a large quantity of anthrax.

IVINS confirmed that he was? the custodian of RMR 1029 and advised he began receiving shipments of RMR 1029 from Dugway Proving Ground in 1997. IVINS related that RMR 1029 was comprised of six separate batches of Ames spores produced by Dugway Proving Ground and shipped to USAMRIID. A seventh batch was to have been included, but it was of such poor quality that IVINS designated it for autoclaving shortly after receiving it. IVINS advised that all six Dugway production lots were combined together to constitute RMR 1029; no portion of the six Dugway production lots was held back or used for another purpose. He retained no subsamples of pure Dugway spores, ~ithout the added USAMRIID-made spores, so anything labeled as Dugway spores in his laboratory included a portion of spores made at USAMRIID.

Reference Material Receipt Record Inconsistencies Regarding Location of RMR 1029 ADMINISTRATIVE: IVINS was shown two copies of a page of his Reference Material Receipt Record for RMR 1029. One copy was of the original form maintained in IVINS' office and provided by him to agents in prior interviews. The other copy was an old~e~r~~ version of the same form found in the laboratory notebook ofl l l w i t h certain information "whited out" (i.e., covered wi~:-t~h=----' ~correction fluid) and new information written in on top of the "white out." Both pages are versions of a form labeled "U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases - Reference Material Receipt Record," dated October 22, 1997. The version of the for~~ !notebook indicates that RMR 1029 was stored in Roomh--Jof Building 1412. However, IVINS' version of the form with wh1te out indicates this notation was changed at some point to indicate that RMR 1029? was stored in suite B3 of Building 1425. IVINS was questioned concerning his knowledge of the storage locations of RMR 1029 and the reason(s) for the changes recorded on the Receipt Record. Both pages shown to IVINS are included in a 1A envelope. IVINS advised that the large flask of RMR 1029 was always stored in suite B3 of Building 1425. IVINS advise~t the copy of the form indicating RMR 1029 was stored in rooml___jof ~ng 1412 was wrong. "We never stored 1029 in the big flask in L__j' he said. IVINS advised that aliquots of RMR 1029 had been taken to rooml ~n Building 1412 a number of times to be used for animal challenges. On each occasion, the RMR 1029, material needed for a challenge was decanted into a smaller gl~ottle in suite B3 in building 1425 before being taken to rooml___jin building 1412. The smaller bottle taken to rooml !sometimes contained a fully concentrated aliquot and sometimes a diluted aliquot. Once taken to rooml I the aliquot of RMR 1029 was stored in the sliding glass door refrigerator of Roomr--luntil the animal challenge commenced. After a challenge, ~mes'material from the all-glass impingers (AGis) was stored in the walk-in refrigerator on the first floor of building 1412. ?I l ~ l ! t ! l 1 ?l .I l i l BEI Section 2.PDF 010480Anthrax I Page 134 of 1274 !

IVINS had no present recollection of making a change to the page (i.e., whiting out the roomr--llocation and changing it to suite B3). However, he speculate~t he changed the form to reflect the location where the bulk stock (large flask) of RMR 1029 was actually stored - in suite B3. ADMINISTRATIVE: IVINS' attention was again directed to ?the same two copies of the "Reference Material Receipt Record" and specifically to the section at the bottom of the form labeled "Reference Material Inventory" The form indica-tes that RMR 1029 was initially comprised of 1,000 milliliters of "highly purified Ames spores- 3x10 10 ." The sixth entry on the Reference Material Inventory reflects that on February 22, 2000, six milliliters were taken from a remaining balance of 994 milliliters and used by/sent to 11 Covance. 11 Following this transaction, the log should have ,reflected a remaining balance of 988 milliliters of RMR 1029 (i.e., 994ml - 6ml = 988ml) . Instead, the log reflects that 888 milliliters were remaining after this transaction - a difference of 100 milliliters. This mathematical error suggests that 100 milliliters of RMR 1029 is unaccounted for. The discrepancy had been discussed with IVINS in two prior interviews, but IVINS was questioned further for clarification concerning this entry. IVINS said that he never noticed tfis rnat:eratical error until it was brought to his attention by SSA Moreover, IVINS stated he never noticed any material m~ss~ngrom the RMR ,1029 flask, explaining that if 100 milliliters is actually missing from the RMR 1029 flask, he does not know what happened to it. IVINS noted that the putative missing 10-0 milliliters of 1029 "now gives me pause," in light of the information conveyed to him today by the FBI concerning the genetic similarities between RMR 1029 and the anthrax used in the attacks. RMR 1029 and Disposition of Seventh Batch of Dugway Spores ADMINISTRATIVE: IVINS was next questioned regarding the background of RMR 102'9 and the ?seventh of seven installments of Ames anthrax slurry received by USAMRIID from Dugway Proving Ground. By way of background, IVINS reported that in 1997, he was working to come up with a second generation anthrax vaccine utilizing recombinant protective antigen (RPA) .

It was the reinstitution of the RPA project which generated USAMRIID's need for a single lot of 1,000 milliliters of highly concentrated liquid Ames anthrax spores - the lot which ultimately became RMR 1029. These spores were needed for animal challenges to assess the efficacy of the newly developed vaccine. USAMRIID planned to use this large spore lot for all animal challenges. IVINS explained that it was important for purposes of continuity to have a single batch of Ames anthrax spores to serve as the challenge material for all experiments. Using one homogenous lot of challenge material would ensure the comparability of results across several animal challenge ex;eriments. Beca~se IVINS estimated it would have taken he and I _ ~pproximately one to two years to produce 1,000 m~ l~l~ters of concentrated spores using their standard flask fermentation method, USAMRIID contracted with Dugway Proving Ground which agreed to produce the spores in batches at Dugway Proving Ground using fermenters and then ship the batches as they were completed to USAMRIID for purification and use. IVINS said the contract called for Dugway to produce 1,000 milliliters of "useable spores" (i.e., 3x10 13 total spores). IVINS also related that some smaller Ames spore preparations grown at USAMRIID were combined with the Dugway produced spores to constitute RMR 1029. IVINS said this mixing together of disparate combinations of Ames spore preparations was of no scientific concern because consistency between individual batches was not important - the objective was to amass one lot of 1,000 milliliters of Ames spores as quickly as possible. IVINS reported that all seven batches of Ames anthrax sent to USAMRIID by Dugway Proving Ground were shipped in small plastic jars with a screw top which looked like urine specimen cups. IVINS explained that each batch received was taken out of the screw top jar and resuspended in a flask overnight. According to IVINS, the first six batches received from Dugway Proving Ground were resuspended and then Renografin(R) or RenoCal(R) purified, after which they were combined together with USAMRIID-made spores to constitute RMR 1029. The seventh batch of liquid Ames spores received from Dugway Proving Ground was also intended to-become part of RMR 1029. However, IVINS advised that when he received the seventh batch from Dugway Proving Ground, he observed that it was "dirty," "clumpy," and contained too much "vegetative cell debris." In addition, the spores were not refractile (an indication they were not viable) . IVINS believes he made one or two attempts to purify this seventh batch through resuspension, centrifugation, and by using Renografin(R) or RenoCal(R). These purification efforts did ! I ! !

IVINS clarified that he does not actually remember placing the seventh batch in the autoclave. IVINS explained that his usual practice in autoclaving materials was to place the item or items in a dishpan and insert the dishpan into the autoclave and shut the door. If the autoclave was fully loaded with other items to be autoclaved, he would run the autoclave immediately. However, if the autoclave was not fully loaded after placing his items in it, the items would sit within the autoclave until enough items were added by other persons to fully load the autoclave. The person who added enough items to fill the autoclave would turn on the autoclave. IVINS couJd not specjfjyally recall whether he_telephoned ~--~--~------------~~--~~~~Jto advise! !that the seventh batch of spores was bad. IVINS believes, however,. that he did make such a call. IVINS advised that the quality of the seventh batch became less of a concern because he determined that with the six preceding Dugway batches ?plus what he added from USAMRIID's own stocks, he had the necessary 1,000 milliliters of concentrated sp9res even without Dugway's seventh batch. Accordingly, IVINS advised that Dugway was not asked to replace the bad seventh batch of spores. ? When questioned about the reasonableness of autoclaving a batch of spores that ostensibly cost a lot of money to produce, IVINS explained that USAMRIID's contract with Dugway required Dugway to produce 1,000 milliliters of "useable" Ames anthrax spores. Dugway was not paid on a "per batch" basis, but was? compensated based on the entirety of the project. Accordingly, USAMRIID was not "charged" for the seventh batch of spores that IVINS autoclaved. Even if USAMRIID had agreed to pay Dugway on a per batch basis, the seventh patch of spores was "not useable" and therefore did not conform to the terms of the contract and would not have been paid for by USAMRIID. IVINS stated that this seventh batch of Dugway Ames spores was the only one of the seven lots that had to be destroyed due to poor quality; the other six lots were all combined to constitute RMR 1029. IVINS noted that at least one of the other six batches was also of poor quality, however, IVINS was able to "clean it up" using the RenoCal(R)/Renografin(R) purification procedure.

Spore Viability of RMR 1029 l t .1 ' i ! l l l ADMINISTRATIVE: IVINS was questioned concerning th~ viability of RMR 1029 after the FBI returned RMR 1029 to IVINS due to a conflict between his earlier representations that its concentration was 10 10 colony forming units (cfu) per milliliter (ml) and the Navy Medical Research Center's (NMRC's) evaluation that the concentration was 10 9 cfu/ml. IVINS stated that the concentration of RMR 1029 was either 2. 4x10 10 cfu/ml or 2. 5x10 10 cfu/ml when he checked it after it was returned by the FBI. IVINS advised that he has never observed RMR 1029 drop below approximately 3.5x10 10 cfu/ml during its existence. He also said he did not add any more spores to the RMR 1029 material after the FBI returned it to him. When asked whether it would have been possible for someone to take some of the anthrax slurry out of the RMR 1029 flask and replace it with water without detection, he responded in the affirmative. IVINS could offer no explapation other than "technical error" for the discrepancy between his and NMRC's conflicting measurements of the concentration of RMR 1029. When asked to opine as to what may have caused such a drop in viability, IVINS said he did not know. IVINS was highly skeptical of the FBI's claim that the concentration of RMR 1029 was really 10 9 o He explained that after the FBI gave RMR 1029 back to him, he used 15~] for an animal challenge conducted by USAMRIID researcher I IVINS said he would not have been able to perform this 11 anJ.mal spray" if the concentration of RMR 1029 had been 10 9 because this concentration would have been too low to challenge the vaccine. IVINS offered that the FBI could access his electronic notebook.in 11 File Maker Pro 11 on the USAMRIID server to verify his findings of the concentration of RMR 1029 as used inl !animal challenge. IVINS suggested the interviewing Agents contact I I lat USAMRIID to gain access to this electronic notebook. IVINS agreed to provide a copy of the RMR 1029 record previously shown to SSAI Jon which he had entered the concentrations of RMR 1029 on varJ.ousates during its ?existence. He also agreed to allow SAl Ito accompany him into suite B3 immediately after the intervJ.ew to review his procedures for determining the concentration, secure the remainder of RMR 1029, and secure the ' i ?.1 .) j l l l ?

When asked how often bad spore production runs occurred, IVINS responded that it depended on the strain and who produced the spores. IVINS estimated that on average somewhere between every fifth. and every tenth batch of spores had to be discarded due to inadequate quality. IVINS said that each person producing spores was authorized to unilaterally decide whether to keep or destroy a particular spore production lot. It was not necessary to get authorization to destroy a bad batch of spores. Spores were destroyed by autoclaving . IVINS advised that prior to the fall 2001 anthrax attacks, suite B3 contained an extensive number of tubes and flasks containing liqu~d anthrax spores. When asked how many such containers were stored in the room, he advised there were "hundreds of containers of all sizes, but probably not thousands." There was no common labeling scheme or protocol for these containers - they were labeled by the individual researchers to whom they belonged. Each researcher had the discretion to label the containers as he/she saw fit. Many of the containers which held Ames anthrax spores were labeled 11 Ames. 11 As an example, IVINS noted that the flask containing RMR 1029 was labeled as "Ames."

IVINS similarly advised that he went to this effort to add to the "surprise factor" - he did not wantl ~o realize the package was from him until I !opened it. When asked whether he had ever eng~ged in any similar driving activity, IVINS related that in the late 1990s he occasionally drove roundtrip from Frederick, Maryland to Flintstone, Maryland where some friends lived. He did not visit his friends on these trips, describing the journeys as just 11 TJ1indless drives. 11 IVINS equated these drives with th'e way some people go fo~ a long walk. IVINS said he never bought or used any pre-franked (postage paid) envelopes prior to the attacks and never sent any to I lin the care packages. IVINS' Connections with Princeton University IVINS advised that his father graduated from Princeton University in 1928. IVINS traveled through the town of Princeton with his parents, circa 1956, on a family vacation which included a tour of historic sites in Philadelphia. During this trip, his family did not take a tour of Princeton University. IVINS said that other than this trip, he has never been to Princeton, New Jersey or taken a tour of the university. IVINS has never applied to attend Princeton University, stating that he applied to only two colleges: the University of Cincinnati (which he attended) and Ohio State University. The only other nexus to Princeton University he could think of involved his family going to see a troupe of entertainers called the 11 Princeton Triangle Club," when the group toured Cincinnati where he grew up.

IVINS' USAMRIID OFFICE COMPUTER ADMINISTRATIVE: An e-mail in IVINS' archive claimed that immediately after the September 11, 2001 attacks, USAMRIID Command had instructed all USAMRIID employees to backup their computer data and to take the copy home. This was purportedly a precautionary measure in the event that USAMRIID was targeted for a second wave attack in the aftermath of 9/11. IVINS was asked whether he backed up his computer and took any of the backup material to his home. .j ! 1 l ( ( t r l \ -l { { ( ! ) I i IVINS did not recall the e-maii or the request. IVINS advised that he uses floppy disks and zip drives as portable storage media for his office computer and that the FBI had copied all of it. ?IVINS said he did not remember ever backing anything up on storage media to take home. IVINS related that to the best of his knowledge, he does not have any work-related material at his home, other than a presentation he was to give at a technical conference. IVINS offered to allow the FBI to make a copy of his home computer hard drive and agreed to look for any work-related electronic media at home. The mirroring of IVINS' home hard drive was arranged toward the end of the interview.

Also Jresent while the interview was conducted were Special Agents (SAs) land I lwho were collecting a mirror image of IVINS' home computer hard drive under IVINS' consent. IVINS 1 who was already familiar with the identity of the interviewing agents 1 provided the following information in clarification of issues discussed in an interview which took place earlier the same day (documented separately) : w~th social securit IVINS was shown two versions of his record of the dissemination of the Ames spore preparation known as Reference Material Receipt (RMR) 1029. On one of the versions, the storage location information had been whited out and written over to show suite B3 of buildin~425 as the storage location. The other version showed Room of building 1412 as the storage loc~tion. IVINS did not recal ever changing the form. He advised that if there was a point in time after the creation of RMR 1029 when the preparation was kept in building 1412 of USAMRIID 1 it could certainly explain the changes in storage location on the form which do mented the stora e and dissemination of RMR 1029.

IVINS does not specifically remember ever having stored the flask(s) in 1412 1 but it is possible that he did. It would make sense to him that he might have stored RMR 1029 in 1412 because it was to be used in that building for vaccine challenges. He does recall storing the flask in 1425 and'transporting the aliquots of it to 1412 as needed for challenges. IVINS recalled that the Ames material from the allglass impingers (AGis) was stored in the walk-in cold room on the first floor of building 1412.

' ,, ., IVINS is not aware of any change in the storage conditions of the 1997 Dugway spores from the time of submission in 2002 to the time SAl lwent into B3 and obtained RMR 1029 from him. In IVINS 1 experience 1 freezing 11 Wrecks 11 spores. He has never seen lyophilized spores which were not damaged or in poor condition. For this reasonr IVINS does not believe the material in the anthrax-laced letters was lyophilized. If it was lyophilized 1 something was probably added to protect the spores. The e-mails in IVINS 1 archive from the period between April 2000 and Fall 2001 should have information about the Bioport Potency Team and could provide information about the problems Bioport was having at that time. r------------, lJ , I IVINS does not recall asking I Ito call .__--~~--~~nd leave a message on~oice mail about anthrax.

During this interview IVINS provided ssAI I with the "Mass Music Schedules" for his church's Sunday music selections during September and October. The year is not listed with the. month and day, so IVINS provided more than one September and October music schedule. He used his home computer to prepare the schedules, but he does not srye them long-term in electronic format. IVINS and his wife,_ I started leading the church music group in 1996. IVINS has attended the same church since 1981. IVINS plays the music for the church services and had previously indicated that he played the music at church on the Sunday of Columbus Day weekend in 2001, the weekend of the second mailing window. ssAI lagain advised IVINS of an e-mail she had seen from September 2001 in which IVINS told someone else that Fort Detrick had ordered employees to make backups of their computers and to take the backups home in case Fort Detrick was attacked. Though IVINS does not recall the orders or the e-mail, IVINS agreed to look for any computer backups he might have made and taken home after the terrorist attackT occurrrd on September 11, 2001. He also agreed to contact SSA_ _if he recalls any additional information that might assist the FBI in the investigation. IVINS does not understand how the samples of RMR 1029 he sent to Battelle Memorial Institute and University of New Mexico could possibly not genetically match the RMR 1029 sample in possession of the FBI. He is very confused by that, and it just does not make sense scientifically. IVINS asked questions about the mirroring of his hard drive. He asked what the FBI does when they image a computer like his and find something like child pornography on the computer. SSA I !advised that the FBI has certain obligations in those circumstances and that there are squads which focus on such investigations. IVINS advised SSAI ~hat he would be fine over the weekend at home alone.

Toxin production occurs during the vegetative cycle of Bacillus anthracis growth, therefore, the Rmedia lacked the necessary factors, and was specifically developed to prevent' the progression of the vegetative cells toward sporulation.

The author of this document explained that he is a scientist and is interested in media used to produce Bacillus anthracis, and that the interest in this specific document arises from the mention of I I the reference to a media used to grow Bacillus anthrac~s, and the fact that there is a description of using spores to inoculate a fermentor. IVINS continued to review the document and stated that SRMl (Sporulation R Medium 1) is a germinating medium used when inoculating a fermentor. IVINS stated that he was, "not using a fermentor then" and used Leighton-Doi media or Sheep Blood Agar to make spores. IVINS explained that the Bacillus anthracis grows in the blood of the infected animal, and when the animal dies and the blood is exposed to the oxygen in the air, it sporulates.

I !learned that it was "legend" at KKG headquarters that a ritua1 book had in fact been stolen from the Maryland chapter house and that copies of the ritual book started showing up "all over campus." The distribution of their ritual book was reported to KKG Headquarters, who asked for assistance from the other Maryland fraternities and sororities jn recoxering as many copies of the stolen book as possible. I Jwas told the other houses did collect the books and sent them to KKG Headquarters. I lis not sure if the book was reported stolen to campus or local police, or if the members even knew the book had been stolen before copies of the book turned up around the campus. In inquiring about the stolen ritual book, I Jalso learned that around 1984, maybe 1983, a man called tAe mefube s of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (Tennessee) KKG chapter claiming to be a guitarist or musician and requesting to play some~or the chapter. The man was invited to the chapter ( does not know if it was a chapter house or dormitory . T e songs played by the man were the KKG ritual songs, with the words. This upset the women, who called the police and had the man escorted out'. It was at this time that the individual was identified as BRUC IVINS. I ldoes not know if the police department involved was the campus police or the Knoxville police. which ident1f1ed IVINS as 1nvolved w1th the d1str1but1on of RRG ritual material, but that material did not exylain how IVINS had been identified by name to the organization. _ !believes Investigation on (telephonically) Date dictated Fh# by 279A-~F-222936-BEI 08/10/2007 s It is the property of the FBI and Is loaned to your agency; This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI. it and its contents are not to be distributed outside your agency.

Box 3536, Gaithersburg, ~ 20878 Investigation is ongoing as to the identity of the individual who rented P.O. Box 3536 in 1984.

Both items were originally printed in the Chicago Sun-Times. High Beam Research only displays the first part of the articles, and charges a fee for the full content. The first item is an article titled "Getting Even: Is an Act of Revenge Worth It?" by Jeffrey Zaslow, dated 10/16/1988. The portion of the article on www.highbeam.com states: It's not clear what Carla Sander had against the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. don't know why she joined it, why she We SAl lalso conducted an internet search on ~--___.lt N G D BEI Section 2.PDF 010604Anthrax Page 258 of 1274 o) 279A-WF-222936-BEI o 2 o dropped out or why she would want to hurt it. Perhaps her "sisters" treated her like an outsider. Maybe they somehow humiliated her. Or maybe Carla broke chapter rules, ?was a discredit to the group, and was booted out. Whatever the story, one thing is certain: Carla Sander pulled a calculated act of revenge on her former sorority sisters. SA~ contacted the FBI Library on 08/17/2007 in an effort to ~ the complete text of this article. Efforts were unsuccessful, however the FBI Library was able to determine the article is actually an advice column. The second item appears to be a Letter to the Editor published 01/29/1989 from MIKE DIRIENZO, Washington, D.C .. The letter appears under the heading "A chorus of readers joins outcry over Greek clubs" and states: I'm writing regarding your column on Carla Sander, who took revenge on her sorority by revealing its initiation secrets to readers of Rolling Stone magazine. As an ex-president of a Sigm~ Alpha Epsilon chapter, I was dismayed by her actions. The Greek system offers students a multitude of excellent opportunities and actiYities. I assume that she had a regrettable experience with her sorority sisters. Still, it was childish and reprehensible for her to print their secrets. Kappa Kappa Gamma should take legal action against her. Investigation is ongoing to identify SANDER and to locate the referenced Rolling Stone article.

In general United States standards it is amagazine of Left-wing politics orientation. The winner of a2001 National Magazine Award in General Excellence, Mother Jones has been nominated for National Magazine Awards twelve times and has won four times. With apaid circulation of233,000 (the average for the first half of2006), Mother Jones is the most widely read progressive publication in the United States. Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery serve as co-editors. The magazine was named after Mary.Harris Jones, a.k.a Mother Jones (born Mary Harris? during 1830 in Ireland, died 1930 in USA), aunion activist, active opponent of child labor, anarchist, and self-described "hellraiser." Its stated mission is to produce revelatory journalism that in its power and reach informs and inspires amore just and democratic world.

Contents 1Key editors o 2MotherJones.com 1 3 Mother Jones Radio 1 4 Notes o 5External links 1 Key editors For the first five years of its history, Mother Jones operated with an editorial board, and members of the board took turns serving as managing editor for one-year terms. People who served on the editorial team during those years included Adam Hochschild, Paul Jacobs, Deborah Johnson, Jeffrey Klein, Carol Polsgrove, Mark Dowie, Amanda Spake, Zina Klapper, and Deirdre English. BEI Section 2.PDF 010614Anthrax Page 268 of 1274 Mother Jones (magazine) . Wikipedi~ the free encyclopedia Page2 of 4 e ' In 1981 Deirdre English was named the magazine's first editor?in-chief, aposition she held untill986. Astrong feminist, she brought women's voices to the fore in the magazine and oversaw considerable coverag~ of Central America, the Sandinistas, and the Contras. She also brought in Barbara Ehrenreich as aregular columnist. Micha~l Moore followed English and edited Mother Jones for several months. After being fired in the fall of 1986, Moore sued Mother Jones for wrongful termination, settled with the magazine's insurance company for $58,000, and used part of the settlement as the seed money for his first documentary film, Roger &Me. Moore did not have achance to shape adirection he had in mind for the magazine. Many of the articles that were printed during his time as editor were articles that had already been commissioned by Deirdre English. An article by Paul Berman about Nicaragua, which was slightly critical of the Sandinistas, (Mother Jones generally supported the Sandinistas) was one of those articles commissioned by English. Moore did not want to print it, but the magazine had made acommitment to Berman. The Nation columnist Alexander Cockburn believed the disagreement over the Berman article was the sole reason of the firing, but Hochschild and others at the magazine denied this. [l] [2 Books about Moore 1 by Jesse Lamer (Forgive Us Our Spins.? Michael Moore and the Future of the Left) and Roger Rapoport (Citizen Moore.? The Life and Times ofan American Iconoclast) extensively cover Moore's difficult relationships with people during his brief editorship. Douglas Foster, an Emmy-winning TV producer and~ writer who had covered labor issues for Mother Jones in the 1970s, followed Moore. Foster's magazine featured regular columns from Molly Ivins, Roger Wilkins, and Ralph Nader. During his tenure, the magazine excerpted Randy Shilts' groundbreaking boo~ "And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic." In the fall of 1992, Jeffrey Klein, one of the original editorial team, returned as editor?in-chief, bringing an intense focus on Washington politics, . I?' including extensive coverage of Newt Gingrich, campaign finance, and the tobacco industry. He was afrequent guest on radio and television shows, spearheaded many collaborations between the magazine and website, and brought comedian Paula Poundstone on as aregular columnist. Roger Cohn succeeded Klein as editor-in-chief in 1999. Cohn brought to the fore environmental and social justice stories ,from around the country. It was during his tenure that the 25-year-oldMother Jones won a2001 National Magazine Award for Gener~ Excellence. Russ Rymer was named editor-in?chiefin early 2005, and under his tenure the magazine published more essays and extensive packages of articles on domestic violence (July/August 2005)[1] (http://www.motheqones.com/news/featurex/2005/07/haven.html), and the role of religion in politics (December 2005). [2] (http://www.motheq ones.com/toc/2005/12/index.html) In August 2006, Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery were promoted from within to become co?editors of the magazine. Bauerlein and Jeffery, who had I served as interim editors between Cohn and Rymer, were also chiefly responsible for some of the biggest successes of the magazine in the past several years, including apackage on ExxonMobil's funding of climate change "deniers" (May/June 2005) [3] ~ttp://www.motheq ones.com/news/featurex/2005/05/world_ bums.html) that was nominated for aNational Magazine Award for Public Interest reporting; apackage on the rapid decline in the health of the ocean (March/April2006) [4] (http://www.motheqones.com/news/featurex/2006/03/oceans_index.html), and the magazine's massive Iraq War Timeline interactive database.

Whatever the story, one thing is certain: Carla Sander pulled a calculated act of revenge on her former sorority sisters. Some background: More than 600,000 college students in the United States are "Greek," meaning they belong to a sorority or fraternity. The Greek system provides a 11home" away from home and the chance to build lifelong friendships. The cliques have many positive aspects: charity programs, study groups, intramural teams. Also, the secret rituals can give members a sense of community and shared history. But the Greek system also has flaws. Interested freshmen are routinely "blackballed" and denied membership. It'$ a rejection that often has a lasting sting. And those selected are sometimes victimized by hazing, or chapter pecking orders: Some members are "in,~? others are "out." Where was Carla in the KKG hierarchy? Again, we don"t know. But a few years back, something made her take out this cl?ssified ad in Rolling Stone magazine: "If you're in college, aren't Greek, and dislike sororities, then you can receive (from ex-member) a free copy of secrets/ initiation ritual of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority by sending SASE to .... " The address was a post office box in Gaithersburg, Md. ? When I saw the small ad, I was so curious that I had to send for her mailing. I received two pages of single-spaced "secret facts." It was all there: password, pledge, handshake, motto and a detailed description of the initiation. ----????-------------------------_J BEI Section 2.PDF 010630Anthrax Page 284 of 1274 o oo Those of us who once belonged to a frat or sorority can recall the importance of these secrets. Sure, all that ceremonious stuff may seem silly now. It often seemed silly then. Some of us spent our frat years winking at each other during the rituals. But there's an unwritten rule: Never reveal the secrets. It's just not done. Indeed, it would be sacrilegious to share the handshake with an outsider. In that context, we can assume that KKG sisters were aghast to read the Rolling Stone ad. For Carla, it was a way to rub her anger in the faces of her ex-sorority sisters. I called Kappa Kappa Gamma headquarters. Officially, the sorority would rather not talk about the incident. I tried locating Carla, with no luck. But here are questions that this incident brings to mind: What satisfaction did Carla get? Or does she regret what she did? Psychologists say revenge is a universal urge that most of us force ourselves to suppress. We've all fantasized about getting even when someone threatens our self-esteem. We assume that if only we'd do unto so-and-so as he or she did unto us, we'd feel better. So why do religious leaders, therapists and behavioral scientists warn against revenge? They say revenge is dangerous and self-destructive. They point to Captain Ahab from the novel Moby Dick: He sought to get even with the whale that got his leg, and, in the process, doomed himself and his crew to graves in the sea. ? ? ? Scientists admit, however, that there hasn't been enough research into revenge. Perhaps there are positive implications to getting even that haven't been fully analyzed. Maybe you can add to the discussion. Did you ever commit an act of vengeance? Whether it was directed at a rude neighbor, a lover who rejected you, a teacher who belittled you, a spouse who left you, a boss who mistreated you, a colleague who mocked you, or someone else who "deserved it," the questions are: Were you happier afterward? Do you regret what you did? Also, if you haven't acted on an urge to get even, why not? What is your revenge fantasy and will you ever carry it out? Send me your stories. I'll share them with researchers who study revenge. In a future column, I'll print their analyses of your letters.

BEI Section 2.PDF 010632Anthrax Page 286 of 1274 I o HighBeam Research Title: A chorus of readers joins outcry over Greek clubs Date: 1/29/1989; Publication: Chicago Sun-Times; Author: Jeffrey Zaslow Dear Zazz: I'm writing regarding your column on Carla Sander, who took revenge on her sorority by revealing its initiation secrets to readers of Rolling Stone magazine. As an ex-president of a Sigma Alpha Epsiion chapter, I was dismayed by her actions. The Greek system offers students a multitude of excellent opportunities and activities. I assume that she had a regrettable experience with her sorority si~ters. Still, i.t was chi!c;i!sh ?n.c;i repreh~n.sible for her to print th~ir secr~ts. K9ppa Kappa Gamma should take legal action against her. MIKE DIRIENZO, WASHINGTON, D.C. Dear Mike: I question whether Carla can be held accountable on legal grounds, but your point is well taken: What she did may have been childish and uncalled for. She is not alone, however, in her animosity for the Greek system. Read on: Dear Zazz: Maybe Carla's actions were justified. We don't know what her sisters did to humiliate or hurt her. At my college, the Greek system held contests to see who could sleep with the ugliest girl - and the sororities cooperated. If her revenge made Carla feel better, more power to her. FAMILIAR WITH GREEKS Dear Zazz: Whenever frats are criticized for hazing, out-of-control parties or bizarre initiation rites, they always defend themselves by saying they're involved in charity work. It seems to me that the charity programs are much rarer than the wild parties - and sometimes charity is just an excuse to have another party. Frats and sororities are ready-made social cliques for those who prefer conformity and the security of a large group to the terrifying adventure of developing individuality. Carla Sander's revenge exposed Kappa Kappa Gamma's silliness to the nation. And unlike many Greek activities, her little prank was harmless. F. CINTORINO, ATHENS, GA. Dear Zazz: At my college, I got several rush party invitations in the mail. The frats had no way of knowing that I'm black - which would mean automatic rejection at any house on campus except the "black house." I wouldn't join a frat anyway. If I wanted to be silly, I'd join the circus. NONGREEK AND PROUD BEI Section 2.PDF 010633Anthrax Page 287 of 1274 I ., o o Dear Non-Greeks: You may be interested in a shocking article sent to me by a reader in Kansas City, Mo. Titled "Greek Tragedies," it first appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer and reported: At Arizona State University, Phi Gamma Delta requires its Jewish pledges to scream out "6 million'' - the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust. At George Washington University, Delta Tau Delta held a 'White History Week" party to protest "Black History Month." Its party fliers asked: "Did you know George Washington was a white man?" At American International College, a Zeta Chi pledge died after being forced to eat spaghetti and wine, vomit, and then eat some more. At Eastern Illinois University, a nude woman was handcuffed to a staircase during a Phi Sigma Kappa "Pimp and Whore Party." Sev(?nty cases of gang rape have been documented on college campuses since 1982. "This is not new," says Bernice Sandler of the American Association of Colleges .. "In the 1940s, I would hear stories about a nymphomaniac being at a frat house. Now I suspect what I was really hearing about was gang rape." I was a member of Pi Lambda Phi during college, and I know that many Greek chapters are healthy, useful, worthwhile organizations. Still, I am not an apologist for the Greek system. The horrors and hazards of some frats and sororities can't be denied. I've printed these atrocities in today's column to help publicize the problems. Media attention and public outrage can encourage the national Greek leadership fo force local chapters to clean up their acts. It is a shame that the horrendous behavior of some Greeks serves to color perceptions of all of them. Write Zazz, Box 3455, Chicago 60654.

IVINS expressed a desire to perform local emergency volunteer work as opposed to national emergencies. IVINS primarily enjoyed volunteer work whereby he was not in a position of leadership or was not the person in charge. He basically enjoyed being a "worker bee" and his primary function was to hand out food and drinks to everyone.

When queried, IVINS responded that he had irradiated those spores. When queried as to where the appropriate paperwork was which documented the irradiation, IVINS responded something to the effect, "was I suppose to do that?" CHS noted IVINS has a consistent pattern of not using the appropriate paperwork and would often irradiate materials as he deemed necessary or appropriate. CHS thought this behavior was peculiar as if IVINS thought of himself as being scrutinized pertaining to the anthrax-laced letter mailings, then why would he not attempt to do things by the books? A review of available papers in a particular drawer adjacent to the sink in IVINS's B3 hot suite produced no items of investigative merit.

There is an elected council of national officers. I Jis not an elected pos1t1on, but an aam1n1strat1ve pos1t1o for the fraternity. Below headquarters, the administration of KKG is broken down into regions, and then into provinces within each region. The individual chapters fall within the various provinces. I !explained that KKG headquarters maintains a database of all 1nitiated members of the sorority as reported by the various chapters, including active collegiate members, alumnae, and deceased members. Not included are women who pledged the sorority but were not ultimately initiated. The database only goes back to 1991, and member information prior to that date is maintained by the individual chapters. The headquarters database is different from the database available to members on the internet in that the internet database does not include deceased members, and only includes information members have opted to include. KKG holds a national convention every two years, and every chapter sends at least one delegate, usually the chapter president. Headquarters records of past conventions include when the conventions were held and where. Headquarters also has a record of convention delegates, which information would also likely be 1vailahle fraf individual chapters.

The ABC News proqram 20/20 aired a story on the incident in 1997, andl jcommented that they thought that was old news, and could not understand why IVINS was bring~ng it up again. I I a~so noted, howeve7, that IVINS/JIMMYFLATHEAD appears to see h1mself as a guard1an of sorts for the organization, and therefore does not necessarily see him as threatening. JIMMYFLATHEAD also posted information regarding the sorority's secret ritual and initiation ceremony, which prompted KKG to again consult legal counsel. The KKG ritual is now copyrighted, so such actions as posting the ritual can be prevented. KKG has been advised that they cannot take action when a few words or sentences are quoted; only if large sections are reprinted without permission.

The second letter was dated March 14, 1985, from an attorney representing KKG at that'time . . several unrelated issues are addressed in the letter,' in addition to the apparent absence of legal remedies to address "the University of Maryland's free copies and Rolling Stones' advertisement." Without'more explanation as to the source of this information, the attorney states, "Since the identity of the passer out of the ritual in Maryland shows that it is probably a DR. BRUCE IVANS, perhaps a little more information can be discovered about who he is and then a confrontation with him for whatever good it would do." The letter implies that KKG is not certain that IVANS (believed to be IVINS) is "the man that did it." The third letter was dated September 10, 1985, also ? from KKG's attorney, and addressed "the repeating problem [they had] encountered with unauthorized copying and disclosures of the content of the Kappa initiation manual." The attorney advised that while KKG may have a legal remedy under copyright and trademark law, such action would involve "considerable expense and long delay". The attorney also mentions that the "put~tive infringer" has not yet been identified, and references them as him or her. The attorney suggests that this "harassment" may be constitute criminal violations, and although the charges would likely be minor, they may have a deterrent effect.

IVINS stated that he didn't want to become the "Richard Jewell" of USAMRIID simply because he would provide an excuse for everybody. He doesn't look at himself as a killer or a terrorist. He admits he is sloppy and his big fear is that something will have to be done, so it will be said that IVINS was negligent. IVINS believed that being negligent with Federal property would put him in jail for five to ten years. He then gave an example of being negligent with Federal property: such as leaving keys in a government car, and somebody stealing it and robbing a bank. ~--------~I~V~I~N~S~t~o~l~d~l~_____.l~t~h~a~t~h~e~t~h~ought it was unfair for ~I~~~~--~--~~--~----~--~------~~ He said he could only think of a handful of people who were mean enough to do it and smart enoug! to pull it off?\ He then named: I I andl o\ lwith~~--------------~~ ~----------~ IVINS then said that the thing that gets him is that if a closeness or probability study was done, I I lived close to the woman in Connecticut that died.

Sometimes things blur, as in an organization's colors, or jewel, or flower, versus its motto, ideals, etc. I thought that Kappa was the only source to settle this issue. I would probably have to go back to t?~~e----~ early and mid-1970s to see mention ofT ~--~--~land Kappa, either as pledge,~----~ active member, or chapter adviser. I would think that [KKG] Headquarters in Columbus would have the information, but I don't know if that would be considered a "public source." I'm really not "anti-Kappa," as it probably seemed earlier. KKG has set very high goals for itself and its members, and what looks bad for Kappa may not cause an eye blink from another GLO. When I was in undergraduate and graduate school, I think the thing that most impressed me with members of KKG was their intelligence.

Mikulski Suite 320 Hart Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Mikulski: This letter is in reference to the proposed legislation by Senators Kennedy et al., that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in the workplace. That bill should exclude from its protection those individuals whose sexual orientation (preference) is minor children. We are constantly reminded of the sexual abuse of children, although some individuals (such as those in the North American Man-Boy Love Association) would argue that there is nothing wrong with adults loving children - they would call it "consensual" - in a sexual manner. Much ?of the sexual abuse of children is directed at young girls by stepfathers, uncles, cousins, older brothers, "friends" of the family, even fathers. As a Catholic, I've also sadly watched as individual after individual has detailed the sexual abuse which they suffered as children at the hands of some priest. My point is this: we must not give adults who are sexually attracted to children the statutory right to be hired for jobs which place them in intimate contact with children. Such positions include, for example, camp counselor and day care worker. Imagine, if you will, the following scenario: An individual walks into a daycare center which has advertised an open position for an aide. The individual was previously arrested for molesting a child, but never convicted because the child refused to testify. The individual says to the head of the daycare facility, "I am applying for your open position. I have a masters degree in child psychology - here are my college transcripts. I love children, and I've been around them a lot in the past. Oh, by the way, my sexual preference or orientation is children, and if you don't hire me, I will sue you for discrimination against me on the basis of sexual preference or orientation." I suggest that Congress may wish to add a clause to any statutory prohibition against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Such a clause would exempt pedophiles from the protection. Such a . clause might read, "... except when such preference or orientation is directed toward a minor child." Sincerely, Bruce E.

An example of this would be a very thin film of oil residue on the surfaces of micro switch contacts which prevents good electrical contact. We have the ability to identify these residues and help the client determine their source. Chemical formulations are often found to contain low levels of impurities which render them unacceptable for use. A glass cleaner, for example, may leave an oily residue or a scouring compound may contain low levels of an abrasive chemical which can scratch or mar a porcelain surface. We can determine trace amounts of specific fuels in soils, water or any material. Further, if a fuel contains a small amount of contaminant we will identify it and specify its content.

Fitzsimmons & Associates uses the latest State of the Art instrumentation for the detection of trace substances which provide the key information needed to solve problems ranging from malfunctions of micro circuitry to the identification of trace volatile organic residues found at suspected explosion and arson fire sites. Micro FT -IR techniques have been perfected in 'this laboratory to identify trace film, powder and fiber contaminants which affect the function of electrical circuits or prevent the adhesion of paints or electroplatings to metal or plastic surfaces. GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy) methods are the major tools of a good forensic laboratory. This lab has used these techniques to "fingerprint" fuels for their identification in fire site debris and chemical spill locations. Also we have perfected methods for heated head space separation of volatile and semi volatile organics for purity checks of chemicals and for detection of contaminants in food and food packaging materials. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is still another method we have used to detect and identify trace contaminants in food products, body creams and lotions.

Books I Buy Stuff I FAQs, etc.] Is handwriting analysis legit science? 18-Apr-2003 Dear Cecil: What's the Straight Dope on handwriting analysis? I know that hanawriting experts' testimony can be accepted in court, so there must be something to it. But I have a hard time believing that smart criminal wouldn't be able to change his writing to avoid detection. On a related issue, c_an an "expert" really tell something about your personality from your handwriting (e.g., that loops in your g's and y's indicate a high sex drive)? If that were true, it would seem that one's handwriting would change from day to day, which it doesn't. --Kristin in Sausalito, California Cecil replies: At first this question might seem like a great oppqrtunity to lay out the difference between science and pseudoscience. On the one hand we have forensic handwriting analysis, in which an expert decides whether two or more samples were written by the same person, e.g., whether a signature was forged. On the other we have graphology, in which some sage tries to divine a subject's personality traits from his or her handwriting. While graphology enjoys about the same prestige as palm reading, forensic handwriting analysis has helped send people to jail since the days of the Lindbergh kidnapping. But in the eyes of the law, the credibility of such analysis is on the wane. Thanks to a landmark Supreme Court ruling in the early 90s, more and more federal judges are deciding that while forensic handwriting analysis may not be quackery, it's not exactly science either. a http://www.straightdope.com/columns/030418.html BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010781Anthrax Page 435 of 1274 1e ~traight Dope: Is handwriting analy.~git science? ). ... . .

Law enforcement authorities sometimes turn to graphology and kindred techniques when ?ofiling criminals, as in the case of the D.C. sniper last,.fall. But such methods are often the last resort of police esperate to appear to be doing something. There's only one well-documented case of a bad guy actually eing caught by a profile--George Metesky, the "Mad Bombern of New York City in the 1940s and '50s--and he ras nabbed less because of his handwriting than because he'd revealed too many clues about his past in a ~tter to a newspaper. :or a long time forensic handwriting analysis seemed more respectable, but its status has been s_haky since 1993, when the Supreme Court handed down its ruling in Daubertv. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals. Previously he chief criterion for the admissibility of exper:t testimony had been whether it was based on techniques 'generally accepted" by scientists. Daubert gave federal judges much greater discretion in deciding :ldmissibility. It suggested they consider (1) whether a theory or technique can be tested, (2) whether it's been 3ubject to peer. review, (3) whether standards exist for applying the technique, and (4) the technique's error rate. Sounds reasonable, eh? But Daubert created an uproar, because the dirty little secret of much so-called expert testimony was this: though it was possible in principle to test and validate most forensic techniques, in many cases no one had ever done so. In 2002 one judge even restricted testimony based on fingerprint analysis, saying he was unconvinced the technique was a science rather than a mix of craft and guesswork. No forensic technique has taken more hits than handwriting analysis. In one particularly devastating federal ruling, United Statesv. Sae/ee (2001), the court noted that forensic handwriting analysis techniques had. seldom been tested, and that what testing had been done ~~raises serious questions about the reliability 'of methods currently in use." The experts were frequently wrong--in one test "the frue positive accuracy rate of laypersons was the same as that of handwriting examiners; both groups were correct 52 percent of the time." The most basic principles of handwriting analysis--for example, that everyone's handwriting is unique--had never been demonstrated. "The technique of comparing known writings with questioned documents appears to be entirely subjective and entirely lacking in controlling standards," the court wrote. Testimony by the government's handwriting expert was ruled inadmissible. Prosecutors scrambling to find scientific validation for handwriting analysis last year touted a study by Sargur Srihari, a professor of computer science at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Srihari subjected 1,500 writing samples to computer analysis. Conclusion: In 96 percent of cases, the writer of a sample could be positively identified based on quantitative features of his handwriting such as letter dimensions and pen pressure. Skeptics objected that lab results using a computer prove nothing about what a human can do in the real worl~, and who can argue?

ALL nJFO . TI O?!J CONTAI NED Page 1 of 2 o LIMA: Forensic Handwriting Analysis Handwriting analysis has the unusual distinction of being an area of interest in both literature departments and forensic science. Professiof)al forensic document examiners have produced a very substantial body of work, of which I only scratch the surface. Book length introductions to forensic document examination include: o Wilson R. Harrison, Suspect Documents: Their Scientific Examination, 2nd edition (London, 1966) o Roy A. Huber and A. M. Headrick, Handwriting Identification: Facts and Fundamentals (Boca Raton, FL, 1999) o Ron Morris, Forensic Handwriting Identification: Fundamental Concepts and Principles (London, 2000) o An extensive BibliograP-hY of Forensic Handwriting Analysis is available online. This was produced by Tom Davis, who is both an academic in the English? Department of Birmingham University, and a professional document examiner. One issue that forensic handwriting analysts often confront is the possibility of forgery. LEVELS OF PROOF AND THE RELIABILITY OF HANDWRITING ANALYSIS Comparing samples of handwriting does not necessarily give a straightforward unambiguous result. Uncertainties about what may be a style characteristic, the quality of the samples, and the likely degree of variation, means there is often a degree of uncertainty. So how fallible is handwriting analysis? Handwriting analysis comes under scrutiny when it is used as evidence in court. Tom Davis has written an article on Forensic Handwriting Analysis in Britain, which describes the level of care in accumulating and presenting evidence, and attention to wording in summarising conclusions, which is demanded of the expert witness. More systematic attention has been paid to the metho~ological basis of handwriting analysis in the USA, where in 1993 the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, which set new criteria for the admissibility of scientific evidence, later expanded to include all expert opinion testimony. The Supreme Court formulated a set of factors about proposed testimony that a presiding judge should consider in order to determine "the scientific validity and thus the evidentiary relevance and reliability of the principles that underlie a proposed submission." These factors include: 1. Whether the theory of technique can be and has been tested. 2. Whether the theory or technique has been subjected to peer review and publication. . ' 3. The known or potential rate of error. 4. The existence and maintenance of standards controlling the technique's operation. 5. Whether the theory or technique is generally accepted within the relevant scientific community. Evidence must be shown to meet these criteria before it can be presented in court. The ruling placed considerable pressure on handwriting analysis to prove that it was a genuine form of expertise according the Daubert criteria. Some years previous to the Daubert ruling, D. Michael Risinger, Mark P. Denbeaux, and Michael J. Saks published an article with the striking title, 'Exorcism of Ignorance as a Proxy for Rational Knowledge: the Lessons of Handwriting Identification "Expertise'", University of Pennsylvania Law Review, 137 (1989), 731-92. It accused handwriting analysis of being a pseudo-expertise, its practitioners of being reluctant to allow their work to be tested independently, and of failing to show an acceptable level of accuracy in the few empirical studies that had taken place. Handwriting analysts have responded to these challenges in a number of ways. There have been further tests on the . reliability of analysts' conclusions. An interesting study highlights the problem of false matches: Moshe Kam, Gabriel Fielding, Robert Conn, 'Writer Identification by Professional Document Examiners', Journal of Forensic Scien_ces, 42 (1997), 778-86. Kam et al. conducted a test on both professionally trained handwriting analysts, and a control group. The study revealed a statistically significant difference in preponderance to make type-1 errors (false matches). AI! groups performed roughly equally in detecting matches, doing so about 88 per cent of the time; however the wrong association rate of non-professionals was about 38 per cent- compared to under 7 per cent among professionals. This difference may well be linked to the methodological difference noted before: professionals start by looking for differences I http://www2.warwick.ac.,uk/fac/arts/ren/publications/lima/handwriting/forensic/ BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010784Anthrax Page 438 of 1274 ::n:~~: J:landwriting: Forensic and S.rly Handwriting Analysis o Page 2 of 2 " between samples, non-professionals tend to base their conclusions on similarities. We would do well to bear these results in mind when assessing published analyses. Another interesting recent development, and one that gives support to its objective testability, is the development of computer technologies for handwriting analysis (known as FISH), which are based on the fact that a unique set of algorithms can be generated by performing certain measurements on an individual's handwriting. Work on handwriting individuality has been done by The Center for Excellence in Document Analysis and Recognition (CEDAR), and their findings can be found on their website, where you can even try out a Handwriting Verification Test. CEDAR claim that their computerised analysis can correctly identify an individual's handwriting with 98% accuracy when there is an adequate sample. There has not been a consistent decision by judges over whether handwriting analysis meets the Daubert criteria. Some judges, such as in a 1999 ruling in Massachusetts (this and other case reports are found on www.forensicevidence.com), have allowed testimony about (dis)similarity, but not conclusions about authorship. The Mass. judge noted that because an individual's handwriting varies each time he or she writes (unlike, say, a fingerprint), analysis depends on a judgement of similitude that is ultimately subjective. Although an expert's experience makes them better qualified than a lay-person to find similarities, this expertise did not give them any additional qualification to make the next step- identification of authorship. This was therefore left to the jury. The judge did not accept that studies such as Kam's have 'established the validity of the field'. Other rulings, however, have given greater credence to recent studies of handwriting analysis and seen greater significance in the extensive professional training of expert analyts, and so many judges have accepted that the discipline meets the Daubert criteria. The expertise of those who have attempted to discredit handwriting analysis (eg Risinger, Denbeaux and Saks, none of whom are themselves trained in handwriting analysis) has also come into question. For example see a 1999 case report, and especially the 2002 'Prime', and the similar 2003 'Thornton' cases. THE RELEVANCE OF FORENSIC ANALYSIS TO SCHOLARLY ANALYSIS Since the vast majority of work on handwriting analysis comes from the forensic field, it is clearly useful for ?anyone dealing with questioned handwriting to have some awareness of forensic work. However there are significant differences between the fields. For example, forensic document examination has considerably more resources available than does research in the humanities, and few of those who publish on handwriting in the humanities can ,be considered professional analysts. The levels of rigour found in forensics could not possibly be sustained in the research environment of the humanities. More important still is the difference in the burden of proof. In the Anglo-American criminal justic.e system, proof must be established beyond reasonable doubt, but can we really expect a bibliographer, historian, or literary scholar be expected to meet the same criteria of proof? There is a great deal more at stake in a criminal case than in an academic article, so it is surely reasonable to expect more rigorous demands. No-one goes to prison on the basis of a badly argued academic article. Scholarship in the humanities does not proceed on the basis of establishing its claims to the non-specialist beyond reasonable daub~; it is rather a matter of positing a viable hypothesis to a specialist audience, to whom it will be accepted in the absence of any viable alternative. This demands a lower level of proof. A classic example is the general (but not universal) acceptance of "Hand D" as Shakespeare's. This would not stand up in a law court, but with the support of other (also inconclusive) lines of evidence, and in the absence of a more convincing alternative, it has been sufficient to convince a majority of the scholarly community. It is reasonable to accept - cautiously - a scholarly identification of handwriting which depends on a balance of probability. However the scrutiny which forensic analysis has undergone should help us to maintain a healthy scepticism about handwriting identification, especially when a document is simply asserted as being in a given person's handwriting without the basis of this identification being made clear. http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/ren/publications/lima/handwriting/forensic/ BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010785Anthrax Page 439 of 1274 Page 1 of 2 Maryland experts & expert witnesses - Experts in the identiflca'tion of handwriting, hand printing and signatures to determine authorship.

Page 1 of 1 Abstract Viewer Wire Analysis Using Fast Fourier Transform Processing Techniques in Paper Identification Cases. Mr. Neil Holland (Scientific Document Services Pty. Ltd., Australia) Email Address: s..d.s.(R)Jn~Q.!ll.Jl.!J. The methods for physical paper testing and the chemical analysis of paper are well documented throughout the literature when examining paper involved in forensic cases. Within this literature the use of X?rays, Beta Rays, Oblique and Transmitted light can provide the examiner valuable information about pap~r formation and in particular about surface and fiber characteristics of the paper. A study of the wire marks where visible can provide additional information but in those papers where they are difficult to examine, the use of a technique to capture and process the images to reveal the wire marks can be extremely beneficial. Initially images of the paper formation are captured using oblique light or Beta Ray (preferred) techniques and the resultant images are scanned and then processed using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis. This technique allows for the pattern of the wire marks to be captured and the resultant Power Spec;trums (frequency domain) can be compared with control samples from known sources {mills) or compared to other paper exhibits. The Power Spectrum (frequency domain) and the inverse {retransformation) patterns can be compared to distinguish papers produced on different wires thus differentiating the papers. Conversely the results may provide additional information that may establish that two or more papers are indistinguishable. ? , http://www.anzfss2004.org.nz/cgi-bin!ViewAbstracts.cgi?paperid=49 5/6/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010797Anthrax Page 451 of 1274 Piled July 10, 1997 o Page 1 of 29 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT No. 96-5286 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA I I I I V.

Altigraci Rosario challenges her conviction on two counts of passing United States Treasury checks in violation of 18 U.S.C. ? 510(a). Of primary importance on appeal is Rosario's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence with regard to Count 1 of the indictment. We must decide whether a conviction for passing a treasury check can be http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010799Anthrax Page 453 of 1274 sastained based solely on evidence establishing that the defendant possessed the check and that it was "probable" that the defendant had? signed the check. We conclude that it can and will affirm. o o Page 3 of 29 I. Altigraci Rosario operated a tax preparation service in Hightstown, New Jersey. Jose Rios, Rosario's nephew by marriage, was employed by Rosario and assisted with her tax preparation service. In February 1993, the U.S. Treasury Department mailed a Treasury check to Angel and Ana Andrade in the amount of $2,996.00. Soon thereafter, the Andrades filed a complaint with the Treasury Department alleging that they had not received the check. On January 11, 1994, the New Jersey National/ Corestates Bank notified the U.S. Secret Service that Jose Rios had deposited the Andrade check into his account at the bank. That same day, the Secret Service interviewed 2 Rios. During the interview, Rios stated that Rosario had given him the signed check and asked him to cash it. Rios apparently received a $20 fee for executing the transaction. In September 1993, the U.S. Treasury Department mailed http://vls.law. vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a 1636p.htm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010800Anthrax Page 454 of 1274 ~x r~fund check to Ivan Vitiello in the amount of 1,943.03. Subsequently, Vitiello filed a complaint with the asury Department alleging that he had not received the eck. In his complaint, Vitiello identified Altigraci Rosario his tax preparer. Vitiello stated that he had authorized osario to have the check delivered to her post office box, ut he had not authorized her to cash the check. n May 4, 1994, a U.S. Postal Inspector confirmed that itiello's check had been delivered to a post office box egistered to Altigraci Rosario and Jose Rios. That same day, the Vitiello check was cashed at Reed's Garage in Cranbury, New Jersey. Employees of Reed's Garage informed the governmE?nt that Rosario and Rios had cashed the Vitiello check. Sometime later, the government identified Rosario's fingerprint on the check. On November 18, 1994, the government filed a two-count misdemeanor complaint against Rosario, charging her with negotiating two checks bearing forged endorsements in violation of 18 U.S.C. ? 510(a) and? 510(c). Count 1 of the indictment related to the Andrade check and Count 2 related to the Vitiello check. After a one-day jury trial, Rosario was convicted on both counts.1 i o o Page 4 of 29 5/10/2005 ://vls.law.vil\.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 010801Anthrax Page 455 of 1274 Aftrial, Angel and Ana Andrade testified that they had never met Rosario, used her service or authorized her or anyone else to endorse their check. Rios, the prosecution's chief witness, testified that Rosario had given him the Andrade check, which had been endorsed, along with a form of identification of the payee. Rosario asked Rios to cash the check, informing him that the payee did not have a bank account and therefore could not cash the check. (Apparently, Rios had a substantial amount of cash in a safe in the office due to a $20,000 personal injury settlement.) o o Page 5 of 29 1. Because Rosario does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence with regard to Count 2, relating to the Vitiello check, we will not discuss the proof offered at trial with regard to that count. 3 Rios further testified that he had not met the persons whom Rosario told him had given her the check. Indeed, Rios stated that he "didn't even see the people." App. at 47A. According to Rios, he took the Andrade check from Rosario, photocopied the identification and gave Rosario the cash, less a $20 fee. Rios stated that he did not actually see http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010802Anthrax Page 456 of 1274 Rbsario hand the casho over to any person who might be associated with the check, but that he did see her "talking to someone." App. at 49A. Finally, Rios testified that after the bank informed him that the Andrade check had been reported stolen, he looked for the photocopy that he had made of the identification but could not find it. When he informed Rosario about the check, Rios acknowledged that she seemed "genuinely surprised" that the check had been reported stolen. App. at 54 A. The government supplemented the testimony of Rios with the testimony of a handwriting expert, Secret Service ' document examiner Jeffrey Taylor. After comparing the signature for Ana Andrade that appeared on the check with a known sample of Rosario's handwriting, Taylor testified that Rosario "probably" had forged the check herself-- that is, it was "more likely than not" that she had done so. Essentially, the testimony of Rios, Taylor and the Andrades constituted the entirety of the government's case on Count 1 of the indictment. After the jury rendered its verdict, Rosario filed a Rule 29 motion for judgment of acquittal on Count 1 with the http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm o o Page 6 of 29 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010803Anthrax Page 457 of 1274 magistrate judge, arguing, inter alia, that the evidence was insufficient to sustain a conviction.2 The magistrate judge denied Rosario's post-trial motions. See United States v. Rosario, Crim. No. 94-5050K-01 (D.N.J. May 9, 1995).3 On June 2, 1995, the magistrate judge sentenced Rosario to eight months in prison on both counts to be served o o Page 7 of29 2. Rosario also moved for a new trial on both counts based upon the magistrate judge's allegedly erroneous ruling on her motion in limine. 3. The magistrate judge had jurisdiction to serve as trial judge over Rosario's trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. ? 3401 ,?which allows a magistrate judge to try and sentence persons accused and convicted of misdemeanor offenses. 4 concurre.ntly.4 At the time of sentencing, Rosario was already serving a one-year sentence for an unrelated bribery conviction. Rosario then appealed the magistrate judge's decision to the district court pursuant to 18l}.S.C. ? 3402.5 The district court affirmed Rosario's conviction and sentence in all respects. See United States v. Rosario, Grim. No. 96-277 (D.N.J. Apri13, 1996). On this appeal, Rosario's primary http://vls.law. vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010804Anthrax Page 458 of 1274 ch~llen~~ to her conviction is that the,idence offered at trial was insufficient to support the jury's conviction on Count 1.6 The district court had jurisdiction over the criminal proceedings pursuant to 18 U.S.C. ? 3231. We have jurisdiction over the appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. ? 1291. II. Our review of a sufficiency of the evidence challenge is guided by strict principles of deference to a jury's verdict. United States v. Anderskow, 88 F.3d 245, 251 (3d Cir.), cert. denied, 117 S. Ct. 613 (1996).

Rosario also raises again the argument that the magistrate judge erred by denying her motion in limine to exclude the admission of her prior bribery conviction. We decline to address the merits of the magistrate's in limine ruling because, by not testifying at trial, Rosario has failed to preserve this issue for appeal. See Luce v. United States, 469 U.S. 38 (1984) (holding that in order to raise and preserve for review the claim of improper impeachment with a prior conviction, a defendant must o Page 9 of 29 testify); United States v. Moskovits, 86 F.3d 1303, 1305-06 (3d Cir. 1996) (same), cert. denied, 117 S. Ct. 968 (1997). 5 the government's evidence could find beyond a reasonable doubt that the government proved all the elements of the offenses." United States v.

Coyle, 63 F.3d 1239, 1243 (3d Cir. 1995). Rosario was convicted of check forgery under 18 U.S.C. ?51 O(a)(2), which provides: (a) Whoever, with intent to defraud-- (2) passes, utters, or publishes, or attempts to pass, http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010806Anthrax Page 460 of 1274 :er, or publish, any Treasury check or bond or o o Page 10 of 29 ~curity of the United States bearing a falsely made or rged endorsement or signature; 1all be fined under this title or imprisoned not more 1an ten years, or both. 8 U.S.C. ? 510(a)(2). ~t trial, the magistrate instructed the jury that, under :he statute, the government was required to prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that the defendant passed or attempted to pass a U.S. Treasury check, (2) that the check bore a forged or falsely made endorsement, . (3) that the defendant passed the check with inten t to defraud, and (4) that the defendant acted knowingly and willfully. Rosario, Grim. No. 94-5050K-01, slip op. at 7. Rosario contends that the government failed to meet its burden on elements (2), (3) & (4). Specifically, she argues that Rios's testimony establishing that she possessed the check was insufficient to corroborate the testimony of the 5/10/2005 http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July199{/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 010807Anthrax Page 461 of 1274 handwriting expert that she probably forged the check. As noted earlier, Taylor testified that it was "probable" that Rosario had forged the check. "Probable" is a term of 6 art used by Secret Service document examiners. The "probable~~ category falls exactly in the middle of the six- o o Page 11 of 29 point spectrum between 11 positive identification~~ and 11 positive elimination.~~ Thus, handwriting experts will use the term "probable~~ to describe times when the evidence falls considerably short of the "virtually certain 11 category and yet still points rather strongly toward the suspect, i.e., there' are several significant similarities.present between the questioned and known writings, but there are also a number of irreconcilable differences and the examiner suspects that they are due to some factor but cannot~afely attribute the lack of agreement to the effect of that factor. Thomas V. Alexander, Definition of Handwriting Opinions, App. at 37A. The government conced~s that Taylor's testimony alone would be insufficient to sustain a conviction under? 51 O(a). http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a163Bp,htm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010808Anthrax Page 462 of 1274 Tlie government argues, however, that Taylor's testimony that Rosario probably forged the check, coupled with Rios's testimony that Rosario had given him the check, would allow the jury to make the inference that Rosario had forged the check. Moreover, according to the government, once the jury concluded that Rosario had forged the check, it could logi~ally conclude that she had done so knowingly and willfully an_d with intent to defraud. We agree. By establishing that Rosario possessed the check, and thus had the opportunity to forge it, the government provided validation for Taylor's testimony that Rosario had probably forged the check. 7 o o Page 12 of 29 7. Once the jury was provided with enough information to conclude that Rosario had forged the check, it certainly could have inferred that she acted knowingly and willfully and with the intent to defraud. Of course, the requisite state of mind elements only follow if the jury believed that Rosario did, in fact, forge the check. See,~. United States v.?Hall,. 632 F.2d 500, 503 (5th Cir. 1980) (holding that once forgery was established, inferences of knowledge and unlawful intention followed). Given the Andrades' testimony that they did not know Rosario nor authorize her to endorse the check, the jury could have assumed that Rosario forged the http://vls.law.vill.edu/loca~or/3d/July1997/97a 1636p. htm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010809Anthrax Page 463 of 1274 e~dorse~ent of the check with the r!isite intent to defraud. 7 In reaching this conclusion, we are persuaded by the reasoning put forth in United States v. Richardson, 755 F.2d 685 (8th Cir. 1985) (per curiam) and United States v. Rivamonte, 666 F.2d 515 (11th Cir. 1982) (per curiam). In both Richardson and Rivamonte, as here, the handwriting expert's testimony established only that it was "probable" that the defendant had forged the check. In Richardson, the court upheld a check forgery conviction challenged on insufficiency grounds. The handwriting expert testified that Richardson had "probably" signed the check. This testimony was supplemented by evidence that Richardson had access to a key to the victim's home, that she had made a deposit in the exact same amount as the stolen check, and that her fingerprints were on the stolen check. In upholding the conviction, the court concluded that this was "ample evidence to support the verdict." Richardson, 755 F.2d at 686. Similarly, in Rivamonte, the court upheld a check forgery conviction based on the following evidence: a handwriting expert's testimony that the defendant had "probably" signed http://vls.la~ .vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a 1636p.htm o Page 13 of 29 BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10i2005 010810Anthrax Page 464 of 1274 th~ check; the defendant's fingerprints were on the check; o o Page 14 of 29 the defendant's account number was written on the back of the check; and the payees' names were written on the defendant's pre-encoded deposit slip. Rivamonte, 666 F.2d at 516-17. The court held that "a jury reasonably could conclude that this evidence is inconsistent with every reasonable hypothesis of appellant's innocence." !.9.: at 517. Although in Richardson and Rivamonte the government offered slightly more circumstantial evidence than was offered at Rosario's trial, we are nevertheless convinced that the evidence establishing that the respective defendants had possessed the check was of primary significance in those cases. Our conclusion is bolstered by the Eleventh Circuit's post-Rivamonte decision in United States v. Henderson, 693 F .2d 1028 (11th Cir. 1982). In Henderson, the court reversed a check forgery conviction based solely on ambiguous handwriting testimony and evidence showing that the defendant's wife had cashed the stolen check. The government offered no evidence that Henderson had ever possessed the check. Distinguishing Rivamonte, the court noted: 8 http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010811Anthrax Page 465 of 1274 . ~ Although both Rivamonte and the present appeal had handwriting experts testify that the respective defendants .. probably.. endorsed the checks, the additional evidence in Rivamonte constituted sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction. The fingerprints and the defendant's account number support the conclusion drawn by the handwriting expert in Rivamonte. Henderson, 693 F.2d at 1032. Here, although Rosario's fingerprints were not found on the check, Rios's testimony established that Rosario was in possession of the check. Thus, Rios's testimony that Rosario possessed the check provided the same corroboration for the handwriting expert's testimony that the fingerprint evidence in Rivamonte and Richardson did. See also United States v. Chatman, 557 F.2d 147, 148 (8th Cir. 1.977) (per curiam) (upholding check forgery conviction because accessibility of payee's mailbox to defendant provided corroboration for less than conclusive expert handwriting testimony). In our view, because the evidence established that Rosario did, in fact, possess the check, the jury could have http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm o o Page 15 of 29 BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010812Anthrax Page 466 of 1274 ed that fact to corroborate the handwriting expert's stimony that she had probably forged the signature on ~~ check. While neither of these factors independently o o Page 16 of 29 /auld be sufficient to support a conviction, taken together ey are sufficient to support the jury's guilty verdict.8 . We are not persuaded by Rosario's attempt to characterize Rios's stimony as "exculpatory" for her. Using Rios's testimony, Rosario mplies that she merely unknowingly passed the forged check to Rios nd then passed along the cash to the person or persons who brought in the check. Rosario finds further support for her theory from Rios's testimony that she was "genuinely surprised" when he reported that the check was stolen. As the district court pointed out, however, the jury was not required to believe that Rosario made any of the arguably exculpatory out-of-court statements to Rios. Rosario, Grim. No. 96-277, slip op. at 6. And, in any event, the statements she relies on are not inconsistent with guilt. Simply stat~d, the jury had no reason to believe that Rosario was being truthful with Rios. Indeed, the jury could have just as well believed that 9 Finally, we acknowledge that this is a clqse case. Indeed, were we sitting as triers of fact, we very well may have come http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.l)tm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010813Anthrax Page 467 of 1274 ~o:a diff~rent conclusion than the jury' here. Nevertheless, we cannot say that there was in,sufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict. Accordingly, we affirm Rosario's conviction. o Page 17 of 29 Rosario's statements to Rios served to deceive him into believing that she had unwittingly passed the forged check. After all, it certainly served Rosario's interests for Rios to believe the check transaction was legitimate because Rios may have been less willing to cash the check had he known it was stolen. 10 NYGAARD, Circuit Judge, dissenting. The government argues that the combination of wholly ambiguous testimony from a handwriting expert and equivocal testimony from a witness receiving favorable treatment from the government is sufficient to support the conviction of Altigraci Rosario for passing a United States Treasury check. The majority accepts this argument. I do not; hence, I dissent. To convict Rosario of check forgery under 18 U.S.C. ?51 O(a)(2), the government was required to prove four elements beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that the check http://vls.law.vill.edu/l<;>c~tor/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm . BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010814Anthrax . ; was a U.S. Treasury check; (2) that the check bore a forged or falsely made endorsement; (3) that Rosario passed the check with intent to defraud; and (4) that Rosario acted knowingly and willfully. There was no direct evidence adduced at trial to satisfy the government's burden on elements (2), (3) and (4). Recognizing this, the government nonetheless asks us to cobble together a series of inferences to support the jury's verdict. It argues that, taken collectively, the testimony of Taylor, the handwriting expert, and Rios, the man who negotiated the stolen check, are sufficient to permit the jury to infer that Rosario forged the check. Building on this inference, it then claims that the jury could draw the further inferences that Rosario possessed the requisite knowledge, willfulness and intent to defraud necessary to satisfy the remaining elements of the charged offense. In my view, these "inferences" do no more than permit the jury to speculate that Rosario is guilty, especially in light of the weak testimony from which these inferences are drawn. Jeffrey Taylor, the government's handwriting "expert," could only testify that Rosario "probably" signed the name ..Ana Andrade .. to the back of the Andrades' check. The trial o Page 468 of 1274 oo Page 18 of 29 http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010815Anthrax Page 469 of 1274 ~e~ord s:hows, however, that Taylor's,timony was even more ambiguous. Indeed, under cross-examination Taylor conceded that there were a number of "irreconcilable differences" between the Ana Andrade signature on the check and Rosario's sample signature. App. at 35A. Moreover, Taylor candidly admitted that there was "some doubt" in his mind as to whether Rosario signed Ana Andrade's name on the check. App. at 35A-36A. 11 Significantly, Taylor also acknowledged on direct examination that he "found no evidence that [Rosario] wrote the remaining signature [Angel Andrade's] on that check." App. at 32A. Taylor's concessions make his already equivocal conclusion that Rosario "probably" forged Ana Andrade's name on the check even less reliable. I would conclude that inferences drawn from such clearly ambiguous testimony cannot possibly satisfy the government's burden of establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that Rosario forged Ana Andrade's signature on the check. Recognizing the inherent weakness of Taylor's vague opinion, the government would have us rely on the http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July~ 997/97a1636p.htm Page 19 of 29 BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010816Anthrax Page 470 of 1274 Jestimo~y of Rios for s~pport that Rlrio forged the check. Rios's testimony, it argues, establishes that Rosario both possessed and had the opportunity to forge the check, thereby allowing the jury to infer that Rosario did, in fact, forge Ana Andrade's signature on the check. By presenting evidence that Rosario possessed the check and had the opportunity to sign it, the government contends that it provided validation?for Taylor's equivocal opinion that Rosario probably forged the check. In support of its argument, the government relies primarily on two cases where courts affirmed forgery convictions based in part on I o Page 20 of 29 1 testimony from a handwriting expert indicating that the defendant had "probably" forged the stolen check. See United States v. Richardson, 755 F.2d 685 (~th Cir. 1985) (per curiam); United States v. Rivamonte, 666 F.2d 515 (11th Cir. 1982) (per curiam). In my view, however, reliance on Richardson and Rivamonte is imprudent for a number of reasons. First, notwithstanding the assertion that the government offered only "slightly" more circumstantial evidence in Richardson and Rivamonte than that adduced here, Maj. Opinion at 8, the records in those cases demonstrate that there was http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.ht'!J BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010817Anthrax Page 471 of 1274 ~Q,ple ~vidence tending to establishI chec.k forgery convictions. elements of those o Page 21 of 29 For example, in Richardson, the court affirmed a check forgery conviction where the handwriting expert's testimony was complemented by evidence showing that Richardson had a key to the hof11e where the check was stolen, 12 Richardson's fingerprints were found on the stolen check, a stolen deposit slip was used to cash the check, and Richardson had made a deposit in the exact same amount as the stolen check during the time period in w~ich the stolen check was cashed. 755 F.2d at 686. Similarly, in Rivamonte, the court affirmed a check forgery conviction where the expert's opinion was complemented by evidence showing that Rivamonte's fingerprints and palmprints were found on the check, the defendant's account number was written on the back of the check, the payee's names were written on Rivamonte's preencoded deposit slip, and a deposit was made in the defendant's account on the same day that the stolen check was negotiated. 666 F.2d at 516-17. In each case, the government proffered strong http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010818Anthrax Page 472 of 1274 oi;cumsi~ntial evidence specifically r!ted to the respective defendants' possession of the stolen checks, their intent to defraud and their states of mind. Such was not the case here; where the government, lacking sufficient evidence to establish any of these elements beyond a reasonable doubt, was forced to ask the jury to speculate that Rosario forged the check, passed the check with intent to defraud, and acted with requisite knowledge and willfulness. I do not believe we can contort Richardson and Rivamonte to _support the proposition that testimony from a handwriting expert indicating that a defendant "probably" forged a stolen check in conjunction with evidence showing possession of the stolen check by the defendant constitutes sufficient evidence to affirm a conviction under 18 U.S.C. ?51 O(a)(2). Simply stated, there is no such baseline position established in the case law. Instead, Richardson and Rivamonte suggest that an "expert" opinion that the defendant probably forged the check, coupled with sufficient additional circumstantial evidence demonstrating possession, willfulness, knowledge and intent to defraud, is necessary before o Page 22 of 29 . aconviction will be affirmed. United States v. Hall, 632 F.2d 500 (5th Cir. 1980), is not http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/'10/200.5 010819Anthrax Page 473 of 1274 (o~the c~ntrary.

As such, there is no conclusively proven fact of forgery from which the government could draw inferences tending to establish the other elements of the offense of conviction. My interpretation of the case law is supported by the post-Rivamonte decision in United States v. Henderson, 693 F.2d 1028 (11th Cir.1982), which, in my view, does not bolster the government's argument. In Henderson, the court reversed a check forgery conviction based on ambiguous handwriting testimony and circumstantial evidence tending http://vls.law. vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97 a 1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010820Anthrax Page 474 of 1274 ?,to: show~that the defendantos wife halashed the stolen check. In reaching its decision, the court reasoned as follows: Although it is apparent that someone endorsed Mr. Mooreos signature on the back of the treasury check, the evidence was not sufficient for a fair jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Henderson was the endorser. The evicjence, because it was circumstantial required that the jury draw an inference that because Ms. Henderson used the defendant's car to cash the check, and because Ms. Henderson did cash the check, the defendant must have signed the check. This simply does not follow. It is unreasonable to infer Mr. Hendersonos guilt based upon the actions of his wife. Yet, it is apparent from the evidence that there was little else upon which to base a conviction .... Although circumstantial evidence is testimony to the surrounding facts and circumstances of the point at issue, they must at some point connect, to allow the trier of fact to draw the inference that the fact asserted is true. o Page 24 of 29 !.9.:_ at 1031 (internal citation omitted). The court then http://vls.law.vill.edu/locatc:>r/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010821Anthrax Page 475 of 1274 pr~ce'ed~ed to distinguish RivamonteI 14 the basis of the o Page 25 of 29 strength of the additional evidence offered by the government in that case. As the Henderson court concluded: "In the present case, the additional evidence, . together with the handwriting expert's 'probable' testimony, is not sufficient." 693 F.2d at 1032. Significantly, there is nothing in the Henderson decision to suggest that the court viewed the failure of the ?government to produce evidence showing that Mr. Henderson possessed the stolen check as determinative of the sufficiency of the evidence. Rather, the Henderson court reviewed the proffered evidence in its entirety and determined that there was insufficient evidence supplementing the ambiguous handwriting testimony to permit a re~sonable jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Henderson was guilty of the offense of conviction.1 Notwithstanding the absence of any legal precedent for its conclusion that ambiguous handwriting evidence coupled with evidence of possession constitutes sufficient evidence to affirm a conviction under? 51 O(a), the government speciously reasons that Rosario's conviction http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/9.7 a 1636p. htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010822Anthrax Page 476 of 1274 ~~s prO'~er because Rios's testimon-at Rosario possessed the check provided the same corroboration for the handwriting expert's testimony that the fingerprint evidence in Rivamonte and Richardson did. What this bit of forensic gymnastics neglects to explain, however, is that the government's fingerprint expert was unable to identify any finger or palm prints belonging to Rosario on the Andrade check. App. at 42A-43A. Thus, the government was forced to rely on Rios's testimony as the "equivalent" of fingerprint evidence precisely because there was no fingerprint evidence available to support the conclusion that Rosario forged Ana Andrad~'s name on the back of the stole'n check. Rather than lend credibility to the ambiguous handwriting testimony offered in this case, the government's reliance on Rios's testimony highlights the dearth of evidence offered by the government to meet its burden of proof. Simply stated, o Page 26 of 29 1. The majority correctly states that in Henderson the government offered no evidence that Mr. Henderson had ever possessed the stolen check. Maj. Opinion at 8. I note, however, that the government similarly failed to offer any evidence specifically relating to Mr. Henderson's intent to defraud, knowledge or state of mind. http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm ' ,. ..

Lacking further additional evidence like that offered in the Rivamonte and Richardson cases (~, fingerprints, palmprints, pre-coded deposit slips), I fail to understand how Rios's testimony could possibly transform Taylor's ambiguous conclusion into factual proof sufficient to establish Rosario's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Finally, I am concerned bepause parts of Rios's testimony directly contradict inferences that the jury was supposed to have drawn from Rios's testimony. For instance, on crossexamination Rios testified that Rosario did not know that the check was stolen. App. at 52A. Such testimony clearly undercuts the idea that the jury could infer that Rosario had the requisite knowledge and intent to defraud necessary to support a conviction under? 51 O(a)(2). Moreover, it also puts the majority in the awkward position of relying on Rios's testimony in order to bolster the inferences that Rosario possessed and forged the stolen check, but ignoring Rios's testimony in order to draw the o Page 27 of 29 http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/July1997/97a1636p.htm BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010824Anthrax Page 478 of 1274 or6~ce: t~at Rosario had. the requisitelwledge and . :tte of mind necessary to support her conviction.

As such, I do not believe that wholly ambiguous testimony from a handwriting "expert" and selected testimony from a witness receiving favorable treatment from the government can 16 satisfy the government's burden of proof.

The 1963 Brady v. Maryland decision requires them to turn over potentially exculpatory information to the defense. Brady is sometimes seen as asking the prosecutor to aid the accused. It has produced more Freedom of Information Act discoveries by defense and more attempts to find out about misleading evidence. One presenter noted that defense counsel needs adequate breadth of discovery to obtain scientific evidence. On the other hand, Brady has in some cases led to large additional areas of discovery for information that is only circumstantial. Can DNA Be the Magic Bullet? What DNA Can (and Cannot) Do Keynote Address on DNA and Genetics: A Challenge for Lawyers and Judges in the New Millennium In science, there is a distinction between "error" and "mistake"; in the law, there is no such distinction. When.a mistake occurs in a scientific experiment, the experiment can be conducted again. Errors in experiments need only be documented. In the law, an error is the same as a mistake because it may overturn a decision. Exoneration via DNA has become fairly frequent, but DNA databases remain controversial. As genetics research continues to shed light on these issues, it is likely to have more influence on the law. The discovery of genetically caused diseases may raise issues of privacy and classification of people by their DNA. Medical information is already being used to make some hiring, firing, and promotion decisions. Issues in the use of DNA evidence continue to emerge. Among them are whether there is a right to postconviction relief based on DNA, the scientific limitations of DNA testing, and the inability of many crime laboratories to work every case that involves DNA evidence. Analytical problems persist even though information expands. Computer-assisted data interpretation can help reduce laboratory backlogs. One presenter noted that the common assumption that DNA evidence wins the case could be dangerous. Defense attorneys sometimes do not ask for independent DNA testing because problems like contamination can arise. Although the Daubert decision required assessing evidence for its admissibility, courts still have not decided how to treat mixed-DNA evidence. Reports on Science and the Law Daubert is not the only evidentiary standard, and the sky may not be falling as a result of it. Peer review is a standard, although one on which not too much emphasis should be placed in the legal context. Changes in technical fields affect testimony, including police officers' testimony and clinical medical testimony. The Kumho Tire decision illuminated the issue of rigor in a variety of technical fields, causing, for example, handwriting evidence and fingerprints to be increasingly challenged. Typically, police are not asked to explain the basis of their experience when they testify, but scientific experts are asked to do so. Certain issues have created essentially a scientific revolution in the courts. The current confusion over litigation-sponsored science is likely to promote more research that will resolve issues now in conflict. vi BEI Section 3.pdf 010827Anthrax Page 481 of 1274 -~?---------------------------------------9 ~ USJNews.com: The CSI effect: On TV, itos all slam-dunk evidence and quick convictions.

Everything from fingerprint identification to fiber analysis is now coming under fire. And rightly so. The science is inexact, the experts are of no uniform opinion, and defense lawyers are increasingly skeptical. Fingerprint examiners, for instance, still peer through magnifying glasses to read faint ridges. Many of these techniques and theories have never been empirically tested to ensure they are valid. During much of the past decade, coroners have certified the deaths of children who might have fallen down steps or been accidentally dropped as "shaken baby" homicides because of the presence of retinal hemorrhages--blood spots--in their eyes. Juries bought it. Noting that new research casts grave doubt on the theory, Joseph Davis, the retired director of Florida's MiamiDade County Medical Examiner's Office and one of the nation's leading forensics experts, compares proponents of shaken-baby syndrome to "flat Earthers" and says its use as a prosecution tool conjures up "shades of Salem witchcraft" trials. :uMi~e calle~nd said the _guys(;)are all going to his roll ouer house .. .iiSee you later..n roll ouer I;;' ; , Are you getting the whole sto~?~ The list goes on. Ear prints, left behind when a suspect presses his ear to a window, have been allowed as evidence in court, despite the fact that there have been no studies to verify that all ears are different or to certify the way ear prints are taken. The fingerprint match, once considered unimpeachable evidence, is only now being closely scrutinized. The National Institute of Justice offered grants to kick-start the process this year. Other "experts" have pushed lip-print analysis, bite-mark analysis, and handwriting analysis with degrees of certainty th_at just don't exist, critics say. ~ Linking life and urn art Microscopic hair analysis was a staple of prosecutions until just a few years ago and was accorded an unhealthy degree of certitude. "Hair comparisons have been discredited almost uniformly in court/ says Peterson of the University of Illinois-Chicago. "There are many instances where science has not come up to the legal needs," adds James Starrs, professor of forensic sciences and law at George Washington University. Everyone, including the jury, wants certainty. But it seldom exists in forensics. So the expert, says Starrs, "always needs to leave the possibility of error." MORE.

Further I whereas Detective Smit's sumn;tary testimony concerning the investigation is based on evidence, Detective Thomas' theories appear to lack substantial evidentiary support. (I d.) Indeed, while Detective Smit is an experienced and respected homicide detective, Detective Thomas had no investigative exp~?rience concerning homicide cases prior to this case. (Smit. Dep. at 69.) In short, the plaintiffs evidence that the defendants killed their daughter and covered up their crime is based on little more than the fact that defendants were present in the house during the murder. ? As the arguments in his brief opposing defendants' summary judgment motion are largely restatements of the arguments he makes in support of his efforts to have the testimony of his forensic' document examiners admitted, plaintiff implicitly acknowledges the dearth of physical evidence supporting his argument.

(J. Ramsey Dep. at 12, 62 & 7374.) He also asserts that he had no reason to doubt any of this information. (ld. at 73-74.) As a matter of law, he is entitled to rely on this information. See New York Times Co v. Conner, 365 F.2d 567, 576 (5th Cir. 1966) (defendant entitled to rely on single source even if source one-sided). See also McFarlane v. Sheridan Square Press, Inc., 91 F.3d 1501,1510 (D.C. Cir.1996) (stating there is no independent duty to corroborate information, if no reason to doubt truthfulness.) Page 82 opposed to theories, that plaintiff proffers to support his accusation that Mrs. Ramsey murdered her child is evidence indicating that she wrote the Ransom Note. The Court agrees with plaintiff that, if plaintiff adduced clear and convincing evidence from which a reasonable jury could infer that Mrs. Ramsey wrote the Ransom Note, this evidence would then be sufficient to create a jury issue as to whether Mrs. Ramsey killed her child. In other words, if Mrs. Ramsey wrote the Ransom Note, this Court could conclude, as could a reasonable jury, ? that she was involved in the murder of her child. The question then is whether plaintiff has proffered such clear and convincing evidence. This Court has earlier ruled that plaintiffs' expert, Mr. Epstein, is qualified to compare Mrs. Ramsey's handwriting with that contained in the Ransom Note for' the purposes of pointing out similarities in the two. The Court, however, has concluded that Epstein cannot properly testify that he is certain that Mrs. Ramsey was the author of the Note. For purposes of assessing whether plaintiff has met its burden of proof, however, the Court will analyze the evidence, assuming that Epstein could testify as to his proffered conclusion, as well as assuming that he could testify only as to similarities between both the Ransom Note and Mrs. Ramsey's known handwriting samples. Page 83 5 . Analysis of the Two Theories a. Consideration of Epstein'. Testimony That There Were Similarities Between Mrs. Ramsey'. Handwriting and the Ransom Note As discussed supra, much of the physical evidence is consistent with an inference that an intruder came into http://www.angelfire.com/ar3/jonbenetljudgecarnes9.html BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010830Anthrax Page 484 of 1274 ? .o .. .Page 2 of6 3 Ramsey's home and murdered their cntld. Specifically, there was a broken ?o' dow in the basement and 3 window well for that window showed signs that someone may have entered the house through it. Indeed, )me of the foliage and debris from that window well was found in the room where JonBenet's body was und. Further, the evidence of stun gun injuries to JonBenet suggests that she was taken by someone who anted to keep her quiet as he removed her from her bedroom; a parent would not need a stun gun to remove chjld from her bedroom. Conversely, the use of a stun' gun by the killer is totally at odds with plaintiff's theory 1at the violence against J<:mBenet began by Mrs. Ramsey accidentally hit her daughter's head on the bathtub r bathroom floor. In addition, the presence of a bag containing a rope in a guest bedroom near JonBenet s rguably supports a notion that some premeditation and preparation attended the crime. .~ o Jther physical evidence is consistent with a theory that an intruder was in the home. There was a recently pade shoeprint, in a moldy area in the basement, that matched no shoes owned by the Ramseys. There was Hso a palmprint on the door to the small room age 84 here JonBenet's body was found that did not match the Ramseys' prints. DNA evidence was further consistent with the possibility of an intruder, as Jon Benet had the DNA of an unknown male under some of her fingernails? and on her underpants. The evidence also indicated that JonB.enet had been sexually assaulted and her vagina contained wood fibers from the paint brush used to fashion the garott~. The method by which JonBenet was killed also suggests it more likely that she was killed by an intruder than by her mother. JonBenet was strangled through the use of a garotte and bondage device that was sophisticated and employed the use of a series of tightly and neatly made knots that would appear to have taken some time to make. There is no evidence that the defendants had the skill to create such a device. Moreover, it is plaintiffs theory' that, after thinking she had accidentally killed her daughter, Mrs. Ramsey worked qyickly, before the household awoke, to set up a staged kidnapping scenario. The creation of this bondage device would appear to have required more time and calm than one would think Mrs. Ramsey could have mustered under the circumstances. Plaintiff has the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the Ramseys murdered their child; they have no burden to prove that they did not commit the crime. The above recited evidence falls well short of the requisite proof that the Page 85 defendants killed their child. Plaintiff argues, however, that the Ransom N?te provides this necessary proof. At first blush, and even without an appraisal of the handwriting, the Ransom Note seems to support plaintiff's argument that the kidnapping was a hoax set up by someone in the house. It is an extremely long and detailed note of over three pages. Moreover, an examination of the notepad on which the note was written indicates that the writer had attempted some earlier drafts of the note. In addition, the writer had apparently not even brought his own materials, but instead had used a note pad and felt marker from the Ramsey's home. These facts suggest that the killer had not come prepared with a ransom note already written, as one would expect a diligent kidnapper to do. Further, one does not assume that an intruder, intent on beating a hasty retreat, would take the time to practice writing a note or to write a long, detailed note. These assumptions then might suggest that someone in the house contrived the note. http://www.angelfire.com/ar3/jonbenet/judgecarnes9.html 5/10/2005 BEI Section 3.pdf 010831Anthrax Page 485 of 1274 D~fend;nts have argued, however, t fit is just as plausible that the killerTad been hiding away in the home for many hours, waiting for the household to go to sleep, before he sprung into action. That waiting time would have allowed him the leisure to write a note. Further, the length of time that it took to practice and write the note could also conceivably undermine a notion that Mrs. Ramsey wrote it. Under plaintiffs scenario, ? ~~? A Page 3 of6 Page 86 Mrs. Ramsey was working quickly to create a staged crime scene before her husband and son awoke. Given those time constraints, and presumably a desire to provide as little handwriting as possible for purposes of future analysis, she arguably would not have written such a long note. Accordingly, the existence of this peculiar, long Ransom Note does not necessarily favor, as the killer, either an intruder or Mrs. Ramsey. Thus, the only conceivable piece of evidence by which plaintiff can hope to carry his burden of proof is evidence that indicates that Mrs. Ramsey actually wrote the note. Factoring into the analysis the testimony of Mr. Epstein that there are similarities between Mrs. Ramsey's handwriting and the Ransom Note does not, however, enable plaintiff to meet that burden. The fact that there may be similarities between the two hardly constitutes persuasive evidence that Mrs. Ramsey actually wrote the Note. Without that proof, plaintiff cannot show that Mrs. Ramsey was the killer. b. Consideration of Epstein'. Testimony That He Was Absolutely Certain that Mrs. Ramaey Wrote the Ransom Note The Court has earlier indicated its conclusion that there is insufficient reliability to Mr. Epstein's methodology to permit him to state his conclusion that Mrs. Ramsey wrote the Ransom Note. As noted supra, Epstein opined that he is "1 00 percent certain" that Patsy Ramsey wrote the Ransom Note and that "there ! Page 87 is absolutely no doubt" that she is the author. Supra at 51. The Court believes its conclusion on the admissibility of this evidence to be correct. Further, as the identify of the writer is virtually the only evidence that plaintiff can offer to shoulder its burden, then the question of the identity of the writer is synonymous with the underlying question in this litigation: did Mrs. Ramsey kill her child. Nevertheless, even if the Court were to permit Epstein to testify as to the above conclusion, the Court does not believe his testimony would provide the "clear and convincing evidence" necessary for a reasonable finder of fact to conclude that Mrs. Ramsey. wrote the note. As stated before, "clear and convincing" evidence requires "a clear conviction, without hesitancy of the truth." Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health, 497 U.S. 261, 2BS n. 11 (1990) . The parties have agreed that handwriting analysis is, at best, an inexact and subjective tool used to provide probative, but not clear and convincing evidence, of a questioned document's author. (SMF 212; PSMF 212.) Nonetheless, the Court will assume that there could be cases where the handwriting in question is either so obviously not the handwriting of a particular individual or so close a match to that person's penmanship, that a finder of fact could comfortably rely on the handwriting, alone, to reach a particular conclusion. Indeed, well before the days of forensic handwriting experts, courts have allowed lay witnesses to http://www.angelfire.com/ar3/jonbenet/judgecarnes9.html BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010832Anthrax Page 486 of 1274 testify that they recognized the handwriting of particular documents as the handwriting of someone with whose penmanship they were familiar. Further, appropriate testimony of forensic experts can greatly assist the jury in its undertaking. That said, while there may be cases in which handwriting examination, alone, can be dispositive, this case is not one of that group. Here, as noted, several factors necessarily reduce the weight a reasonable juror could give to Epstein's conclusion. First, Epstein did not consult the original Ransom Note nor obtain original exemplars from Mrs. Ramsey. Second, as noted by defendants, Epstein deviated from the very methodology that he has previously asserted was necessary to make a reasoned judgment. Most significant to the Court in its determination that Epstein's conclusion cannot carry the day for plaintiff, however, is the unanimity of opinion among six other experts that Mrs. Ramsey cannot be determined to have been the writer of the Note. As noted supra, the Boulder Police Department and District Attorney's Office had consulted six other handwriting experts, all of whom reviewed the original Ransom Note and exemplars. Supra at 21-22. Although two of these experts were hired by defendants, four were independent experts hired by the pol ice. None of ' these six experts were able to identify Mrs. Ramsey as the author of the Ransom Note. Instead, their consensus was that she "probably did not" write the Ransom Note. Supra at n. 14. o o Page 4 of 6 Page.89 Given the contrary opinion of six other experts, whose ability to examine the documents was necessarily superior to Epstein's, and given Epstein's failure to explain the methodology by which he can make absolute pronouncements concerning the authorship of a document, this Court does not believe that a reasonable jury could conclude that Mrs. Ramsey was the author of the Ransom Note, solely on the basis of Epstein's professed opinion to that effect. In reaching this conclusion, the Court is aware that it is not permitted to make credibility judgments in ruling on summary judgment motions. For example, were there six eyewitnesses on one side of a question and one eyewitness on the other side, the Court would not take from a jury the factual question on which these witnesses were testifying. With regard to Epstein's testimony, however, the Court is not attempting to assess credibility. Mr. Epstein may sincerely believe that Mrs. Ramsey wrote the Note and the jury may well credit his sincerity. Nevertheless, no matter how earnest Epstein may be, the fact remains that he has not explained his basis for reaching absolute certainty in his conclusion and, accordingly, the weight and impact of his testimony would necessarily be less than the weight of the contrary testimony of six other experts.39 ---------------------------------------39 The Court's judgment on this matter is the same whether these other six experts were as vague concerning their methodology as was Epstein or whether they, ip fact, gave solid explanations for their reasoning. Page 90 In sum, plaintiff has faileq to pmve that Mrs. Ramsey wrote the Ransom Note and has thereby necessarily failed to prove that she murdered her daughter. ) Moreover, the"weight of the evidence is more consistent with a theory that an intruder murdered Jon Benet than it is vvith a theoi)i that Mrs. Ramsey did so. For that reason, plaintiff has failed to establish that when defendants wrote the Book, they "in fact entertained serious doubts as to the truth of the publication." St. Amant v.

App. 668, 671-72, 294 S.E.2a 603, 606 (1982). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS defendants' motion ,for summary judgment as to plaintiffs libel Claim. Ill. Slander In addition to his claims for libel, plaintiff asserts that. several statements made by defendants to the press fit within one of the categories of slander per se recognized by Georgia law: imputing to another a crime punishable by law. O.C.G.A. ?51-5-4 (a). In particular, plaintiff refers to defendants' Mar.ch 24, 2000 appearance on the Today Show with host Katie Couric. During. the course of the broadcast, the following conversation occurred: Katie Couric: You pepper the book with fleeting references to some other people that you seem to question. You talk about Bill McReynolds, who played Santa at your Christmas party. You also mention his wife who, in _a strange twist, wrote a Page 91 play years before about a girl murdered in a basement. John Ramsey: The point in the book was to clarify from our viewpoint why these people have been mentioned a lot in the media, and also to point out that there are legitimate leads that need to be followed. Katie Couric: You also mention Chris Wolfe, a total stranger whose girlfriend reported that he disappeared on Christmas night and was very agitated, rather--when he watched the news of the murder on TV. John Ramsey: Uh-huh (affirmative). Katie Couric: Why do you mention him. John Ramsey: Because he'd been widely mentioned in the news. And we wanted to clarify the facts that we knew. John Ramsey: I can tell you when--when we first started looking at--at one particular lead early on--My reaction was, -This is it. This is the killer." And our investigator said, -"Whoa, whoa, whoa." He'd say, "Don't do a Boulder Police on me. Don't rush to conclusions." (Transcript of Today Show, March 24, 2000.) (emphasis added) The parties agree that, as Mr. Ramsey made the last statement, NBC displayed a picture of Chris Wolf on the screen. . . As with the libelous statements discussed above, while not textbook, these statements are arguably slanderous. With the Page 92 slander claim, however, the factual predicate for plaintiff's malice argument is weaker than with the libel claim. Specifically, although the emphasized quote suggests Mr. Ramsey's belief that an unnamed suspect might be http://www.angelfire.com/ar3/jonbenetljudgecarnes9.html BEI Section 3.pdf 5/10/2005 010834Anthrax Page 488 of 1274 t~e kiil~r--which was a malicious sta ment, if Mr. Ramsey knew that his wne was the killer--plaintiff has not demonstrated that defendant John Ramsey intended to refer to plaintiff when he?made that statement. Moreover, even though the photograph of plaintiff appeared on the screen when defendant made the statement, it is undisputed that defendant had no control over NBC's editing decisions. I o Page6of6 Nevertheless, even ,had defendant intended to refer to plaintiff, the statements are still not malicious, for the reasons discussed supra, with regard to the libel claim. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS defendants' motion for summary judgment as to, plaintiffs slander claim. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, the Court GRANTS defendantso motion for summary judgment [67]; GRANTS as to Ms. Wong and GRANTS in part and DENIES in part as to Mr. Epstein defendantso motion in limine to exclude the testimony of Cina Wong and Gideon Epstein [68]; and DENIES defendantso motion for oral argument [79].

Of the 11 0 exonerations due to post-conviction DNA evidence in recent years, 27 included confessions as evidence, according to the non~profit legal clinic Innocence Project. ''That number is really shocking," said Richard Ofshe, a leading expert on false confessions and University of California at Berkeley professor. Systemwide, no one knows how often phony confessions occur. "In my wildest fears I do not imagine the number can be 20 percent. On the other hand, if that's the result to come out of the Innocence Project, that's really scary," Ofshe said. Indeed, dubious confessions have surfaced in several recent exonerations, reopened cases and police abuse lawsuits. o The infamous Central Park Jogger case, thought long solved, will go to court again in October even though five teens who confessed already served their sentences. Now, a convicted rapist-murderer says he committed the brutal 1989 rape and beating of a New York City woman. In an interview to air on ABCNEWS' Primetime on Thursday, the man, Matias Reyes, says no one else was involved: "I was alone that night." a In Detroit last month, Eddie Joe Lloyd was freed from prison after 17 years for the brutal1985 rape and murder of a teenage girl. Despite the lack of physical evidence, Lloyd was convicted based heavily qn a taped confession he made to Detroit police while he was in a mental hospital. 11 o Kickball IV With Adults I? c Sear? In, ~ A man who spent more than 15 years in prison before DNA tests exonerated him filed a civil rights complaint earlier this month in Norristown, Pa., against the prosecutors and two former detectives who took his confession. Why Admit Something You Didn't Do? Falsely admitting to a crime may seem unfathomable to those who have never stepped inside a police interrogation room. Experts say the young, old, mentally or emotionally disabled, and people with substance abuse problems are particularly vulnerable to coercion. In Corethian Bell's case, he suffers from mild retardation and has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Grieving his mother's death made him even more susceptible to police tactics, his lawyers say. "I have read a number of police interrogation manuals and it's clear they've become sophisticated in playing on psychological weaknesses. That's their business, trying to get a confession," said Peter Brooks, a Yale University professor and author of Troubling Confessions: Speaking Guilt in Law and Literature. "An effectively carried out police interrogation is well-designed to induce a response." But under certain circumstances, police techniques could wear down many who may initially believe in the power of their innocence, experts say. During interrogations, police usually create stress and a sense of urgency. Suspects are often isolated in rooms especially designed for questioning, and may be deprived of food or sleep. ''The goal is to break the suspect down," said Saul Kassin, a Williams College psychology professor who has studied false confessions for more than 20 years. "You want the suspect to want to get out of there." With stress levels elevated, police confront the suspect, accusing him or her of the crime. Often, police falsely represent evidence, perhaps by telling the suspect that his fingerprints were found at the scene, when they weren't, or that he failed a lie detector test or his friends gave him up. Courts have upheld such police deception of suspects. file://G:\fa,lseconfessions020925 .html 9/25/02 BEI Section 4.pdf 010842Anthrax Page 496 of 1274 / : ABCNEWS.com : Wb.y Woul.hmocent M~ Confess? "Now the suspect is in a total state of despair," Kassin said. "Denial isn't getting [the suspect] out of [the interrogation]." o Page 3 of4 Looking for a Way Out After hours of isolation, deprivation and accusations, exhausted suspects are often looking for a way out, Kassin said. Here is where police may step in and suggest that the suspect may not have intended to commit the crime, or hint that the consequences might not be harsh if the suspect confesses. Police may also mention, intentionally or by mistake, certain key details about the crime or crime scene that only the perpetrator could know, confusing the process further. In the Central Park Jogger case, for example, some of the teenaged suspects were shown crime scene photos before they confessed. Suspects, even when innocent, often confess just to escape their interrogators, and can often weave a story together tha~ shows even they believe in their own guilt. "What makes someone give a false confession is not that they need a Diet Coke or a Big Mac after however many hours, it's that they become convinced that the best thing to do at the moment is to confess," she said. "Like it or not, you're going to be arrested. Police have evidence they sincerely believe will convict you, and will go to the gas chamber and spe11d the rest of your life in jail." For innocent people who confess, the interrogation room is a Twilight Zone experience. They walk in with a na'fve belief in their own innocence, and leave in handcuffs having confessed to a crime. Close to 80 percent of all suspects turn down their right to have a lawyer present during questioning, and innocent people are even more likely to waive their rights, Kassin said. Fixing the Old Methods A recent rash in false confession revelations has prompted talk of reform. Stan Walters, who trains police officers in interrogation techniques, says one way to prevent false confessions is to adequately teach interview strategies. As it is, too many police officers have faulty notions of spotting deception in a suspect, he said. Some departments rely on old myths, such as judging eye movement, to gauge whether a suspect is lying, Walters said. When the suspect's eyes move to the right after the interrogator asks a question, the myth goes, the suspect has something tQ hide. Other behaviors, such as stammering or fidgeting, can be interpreted as signs of deception, but really may be signs of stress, Walters said. "We're not preparing officers and investigators for the task of interviewihg," Walters said. ''They're learning through the job but not necessarily getting the right training." Critics say some overzealous police officers know exactly what they are doing when they frame innocent suspects - they just want the case closed. But police often have good reason to believe a suspect is guilty when they reach the interrogation room, even if evidence later clears them, others say. "Something tangible puts that person at the scene in some connection," said Joseph Ryan, a 25-year veteran of the New York City Police Department who now teaches criminal justice at Pace University. Especially when a brutal crime has occurred, police face heavy pressure to get a confession, he said. "There is pressure on the police to make the community feel safe, that the individuals who did the crime are no longer on the street." file://G: \falseconfessions020925 .html 9/25/02 BEI Section 4.pdf 010843Anthrax Page 497 of 1274 j: I' AJ3CNEWS.com : Why Woul-Innocent Man,Confess? l Tape the Interrogations o Page4 of4 Many critics of police interrogation techniques advocate the videotaping of suspect interviews from beginning to end. Many law enforcement agencies tape confessions, but usually only at the end of the interrogation. Only two states, Alaska and Minnesota, require videotaping of interviews, and some local jurisdictions do so voluntarily. Some police and prosecutors' groups say videotaping interrogations would be costly, especially for small police forces. Sometimes, taping interviews can be impractical, too, especially when police are doing interviews out in the field, said Chuck Canterbury, vice president of the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of ~alice. "It's like calling for mandated DNA evidence," said Canterbury, a 22-year veteran of the Harry County, S.C., police department. "It sounds wonderful, but there's not DNA evidence in every case." Until juries can watch interrogations from beginning to end, though, they may never understand how an innocent person can admit to a crime they did not commit, videotaping advocates say. "Asking a jury to judge the credibility of a confession without seeing the interrogation is like a medical examiner conducting an autopsy without a body," Kassin said. Taping interrogations can also protect police from false accusations of abuse and coercion, Ryan said. "Courts have already ruled police can lie, as long as I am not using any force on the suspect it's OK," he said. Although he opposes mandated interrogation taping, Canterbury said most police work would stand up in the eyes of a jury, even when deception is used to get a confessio_n. "Deception by law enforcement is a recognized technique and has been upheld by the Supreme Court," he said. "I think the American public is smart enough to understand that."

Logjn "It tends to support the idea that the anthrax came from a domestic source and probably not a state program," said David Siegrist, a bioterrorism expert at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies. "It shows you can have a fairly sophisticated product with fairly rudimentary methods.'' The new research, carried out at the Army's biodefense center at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, raises the disquieting possibility that al-Qaida and other terrorist groups could create lethal bioweapons without scientific or financial help from a state. The Bush administration had cited the possibility that Iraq might supply weapons to al-Qaida as a key reason for overthrowing Saddam Hussein.

"It would be better for our country if they'd concluded that [the mailed anthrax] had to have been made in a big facility with a lot of biowarfare experts," said David R. Franz, a former Army biodefense official and consultant on bioterrorism. But Richard 0. Spertzel, a biowarfare expert and former United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq, said he has heard that the Dugway research failed to match exactly the purity and small particle size of the mailed anthrax. Though he has no involvement in the case, he believes the FBI would be wrong to rule out Iraq or other states as the source of the deadly powder. o o o o Photo: MOf.E:ll Y!d_El..Q AucJlq_ From 1 We make it easy.

But Harp said 50 investigators are still working on what the bureau calls the Amerithrax case, backed by "a huge scientific effort. 11 "We're making progress," he said. The anthrax-laced letters were mailed on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9, 2001, from a Princeton) N.J., mailbox and addressed to media organizations and two lJ..S. senators. The attack killed five people and sickened at least 17 others, and hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to clean up government offices and postal facilities. FBI and Postal Inspection Service agents initially considered a link to'the Sept. 11 hijackers or Iraq. But after genetic analysis showed the anthrax was derived from the Ames strain used in the U.S. military biodefense program, investigators concentrated their effort on a domestic source. Agents interviewed and conducted polygraph tests on scores of ? employees at the U.S. military biodefense research centers at Fort Detrick in Frederick and at Dugway Proving Ground. Since last summer, they have focused much of their effort on Dr. Steven J. Hatfill, a former Fort Detrickbioweapons expert, repeatedly searching his Frederick apartment. In December and January, the FBI launched an extensive search in woods and ponds outside Frederick, an effort sources said was aimed at finding discarded biological equipment or other evidence. Meanwhile, the FBI's Amerithrax task force ordered an exhaustive battery' of scientific tests on the anthrax. Outside scientists say researchers probably have used. chemical analysis to trace the water and nutrients used to grow the anthrax to a particular geographic area. As part of the scientific sleuthing, FBI Director RobertS. Mueller III announced in November that investigators were trying to "reverse engineer" the, mailed anthrax. Several sources discussed the work with The Sun on condition of anonymity. One investigator said that with about a dozen samples completed, scientists have matched the mailed powder closely enqugh to conclude it was made with "a pretty small operation" that cost "no more than a few thousand dollars." o o Page o the oneSept. 11 ~ ~-~( Sun's Sun pho covered WorldTt he returr the peo~ memora o To vie you neeo irl?

The perpetrator would have needed expertise in microbiology to separate the dormant anthrax spores from the living vegetative cells, to dry the spores without killing them and to mill the product, the source said. But the methods used point more to a makeshift lab than a professional operation, the source said. One clue pointing away from a state program was the absence of any additive to neutralize the spores' electrical charge and make them float more freely. Such additives or coatings, including glass-like silica, were routinely used in past U.S., Soviet and Iraqi bioweapons programs, and some accounts have suggested that silica was present in the mailed anthrax. But more thorough testing disproved that. "Everybody was looking for a coating, but there wasn't one," the investigator said. The government is retaining detailed data on the various anthrax samples produced, creating a reference library to help track the source of powder used in any future anthrax attack. Meanwhile, FBI agents still appear to be scrutinizing Hatfill, 49, a physician who became a lecturer and consultant on bioterrorism in the late 1990s. He has adamantly denied any connection to the anthrax letters and suggested the FBI has persecuted him because it can't find the real culprit. Two weeks ago, two agents visited Insight magazine reporter Timothy W. Maier in Washington to ask him about an interview he conducted with Hatfill in 1998. They seemed patiicularly interested in a photograph printed in Insight. that year ofHatfill posing in bioprotectiori gear, demonstrating "how a determined terrorist could cook up a batch of plague in his or her own kitchen using common household ingredients and protective equipment from the supermarket," as 'the caption put it. Maier said he was surprised it had taken so long after the FBI first started showing an interest in Hatfill before they looked into the article and photograph. Critics of the FBI's efforts have pointed to other delays. In August, New Jersey Congressman Rush D. Holt blasted the bureau for taking nearly a year to test New Jersey mailboxes before finding the contaminated box in Princeton. But last week, after a new FBI brie.fing, Holt seemed far more impressed. "Although I have been critical in the past of the conduct of the o o Page 3 of4 ~ vwiD@ Ful World memo outre Agency'!

Then he .1 was charged with mishandling plague samp es and lying to the FBI. ~!'I This month, a jury convicted him of financial wrongdoing. Who is ; Thomas Butler, and what lessons do his trials hold? ~ ( ! The TrialS of Thomas Butler j S itting on ap airplane preparing to take off from Dar ?es &alaam, Tanzania, American microbi.ologist Thomas Butler had some time to reflec! on his rising fortunes. Stowed in the plane's belly was a footlocker containing carefully packed specimens from more than 60 Tanzanian bubonic plague victims. His journal was full of data-painstakingly hand copied from hospital records-that detailed how the patients had responded to a new antibiotic. The 2002 clinical trial was a scientific coup, and Butler believed that the results, once published in a top-tier medical journal, would help solidify a nervous nation's defenses against bioterror. Not incidentally, they would also send his 30-year career in an exciting new direction. In 1969,. as a young Navy researcher in Vietnam, Butler had become fascinated by plague-the "Black Death" that had once decimated European populations but was now largely confined to remote, impoverished parts of the world such as Tanzania. He soon moved on to other diseases. But now, Butler, 60, was reunited with his first scientific love. After three visits to Tanzania, Butler was on the verge of becoming perhaps the United States' hottest plague scientist. The work would confirm his reputation as a can-do researcher known for getting results under even the most primitive conditions. Other scientists were increasingly interested in his efforts, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was practically begging him to apply for a $700,000 research grant. "How many people have a world expert in plague just-an e-mail away?" Butler had bragged in a messagero an FDA official. . The demand for Butler's talents couldn't have come at a better time. After 15 years at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in Lubbock, Butler was feeling frustrated and exhausted by an increasingly bitter battle with school administrators over his clinical research and financial dealings. The idea of leaving Lubbock had crossed his mind, and the results of the Tanzanian trial pro:mised to make him more attractive to other institutions. Yet, as he stared at other jets taxiing on the tarmac on the morning of 14 April2002, the veteran clinician also mulled some potential problems, he noted in his journal. Among them were the "challenges of getting organisms back" into the United States, he wrote. The rules had tightened drastically since Butler had last encountered plague in Brazil in the late 1970s. A British colleague had even warned him "that in the U.K. you can be arrested for bringing in pathogens," Butler wrote. Butler would soon learn that U.S. authorities could be just as aggressive as their VOL 302 SCIENCE British counterparts. On 15 Januazy, 2 days o after reporting that 30 vials of plague bacte- m ria were missing from his lab, Butler was ~~ shackled and thrown 'into a Lubbock jail, ;~ charged with lying to federal agents about ~ the fate of the vials and illegally importing ~. the Tanzanian samples into the country. At ~1 that moment, "my stomach froze in my ;t chest," Butler said later. !J Seven months, after his arrest, the govern- f.~ ment indicted Butler on 69 charges. In addi- ;~? tion to allegations that he bad mishandled the ;. plague samples, prosecutors accused him of '' defrauding his university of clinical trial fees ~~ and cheating on his taxes. Butler's prosecu- ;j tion became a cause celebre for those who ~ felt that the government was using him to ;~ scare scientists into obeying strict new ~ bioterror-prevention laws. They urged the ? government to drop the case, predicting that ; it would drive researchers out of biodefense :1 research and undermine national security. ~~ But on 1 December, a jury convicted Butler ~? ~ on 47 counts. He faces up to 240 years in ~ ~ jail and millions of dollars in fines. ~. 5 How Butler went from hot property to ~ convicted felon is a tangled tale. It reveals ~ g a scientist who was able to pull off what ~ ~ others couldn't, as well as one whose pen- ~ g chant for cutting comers ultimately ruined ~ i3 his career and fortune. The jury's some- ~ ~ times puzzling verdict, however, sends ~ ? anything but a clear message. ~ 5 ~ i 2054 19 DECEMBER 2003 www.sciencemag.org BEI Section 4.pdf o j 010860Anthrax Page 514 of 1274 iat To reconstruct Butler's path, Science sent two reporters to Lubbock to attend his trial, review court documents, and conduct interviews.

And although the seemingly endless, pancake-flat farm fields that surround the drab town are still its soul, it is the sprawling campus of Texas Tech University that is its heart. The school's 30,000 students and staff pump more than $1 billion a year into the local economy, and thousands of fans avidly follow the forturtes of its sports teams. Texas Tech graduates and faculty also figure prominently in the community: The judge in Butler's case, "Maximum Sam" Cummings, is an alum, for example, and the lead prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Richard Baker, teaches at Texas Tech's law school. Butler became part of that cozy com'munity in 1987, when the Tennessee-hom 1 physician and his Swedish wife, Elisabeth, arrived from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. As head of the health center's infectious-disease division; Butler quickly became known as an excellent doctor and teacher. A former assistant, Kimberly Bethune, testified that the tall, snowy-haired physician could put patients at ease simply by placing a hand on their shoulder. And although other doctors might resent having residents bug th~m on weekends, Butler graciously answered calls at all hours. He was also adept at enrolling patients in clinical trials for drug , companies-a significant source of cash for the health center. But 3 years ago, one of those trials placed Butler on a collision course with Barbara Pence, the health center's associate vice president for research.

The other, signed only by Butler, specified a second, identical fee that was sent directly to Butler. Together, the split fees added up to the company's usual payment, about $6000 per patient. Pence testified that she was stunned to learn of the arrangement and that it violated health center rules requiring all trial funds to go through the university. Pugh also "felt pretty stupid," she admitted, because it explained an oddity she had not understood in one of Butler's previous contracts. In that case, she noticed that Pharmacia was paying Butler only half of what it was sending to another health center researcher involved in the same trial. "I became a little angered with Pharmacia;o she testified. "I thought they were trying to take advantage of Dr. Butler." But when the administrators con.tacted Butler and suggested that they might be able to double his fee, he told them "to butt out of it," said Pence. When the split contracts came to light, it all made sense, Pence testified. She immediately turned the matter over to university investigators. Into Africa G) 14 April2002.

Within the small world? of plague science, however, few scientists knew of Butler's troubles at Texas Tech. They saw only a re. searcher on a roll-and returning to his roots. Butler's first brush with plague came in 1969 in South Vietnam, where the disease was common. After completing his Navy service, he returned several times as a civilian researcher at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. But the work ended when Saigon fell to Ho Chi Minh's forces in 1975-Butler, in fact, was on one of the last planes carrying Americans out of the city. His last close encounters with plague came in Brazil in the late 1970s. However, Butler kept up with the literature and published several book chapters and reviews-enough to retain his standing as an expert. That reputation propelled him back into the field in the late ?1990s, when the threat of bioterrorism again made plague a hot topic. Experts had begun sounding the alarin after Kenneth Alibek, a former Soviet bioweapons researcher, revealed that the former superpower had mass-produced the microbe, which can kill in days when inhaled. Concerns deepened in 1995 when ,., the U.S. government arrested microbiolo~ gist Larry Wayne Harris, who had links to extremist groups, for ordering plague mil~ crobes from a culture library under false 1;;? pretenses. (The incident triggered Con. I~ gress 's 1996 creation of the first stringent * rules for transferring dangerous_microbes,. which Butler allegedly violated.) In 1999; Butler gladly accepted an invitation from the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) in Fort Detrick, Maryland, to help produce a training video on how to recognize and treat a plague attack. As Butler and a group of experts huddled over a simulated victim, they began debating the best treatment; he recalled. A variety of antibiotics had been used to treat plague, but nobody knew which worked best or had th~ fewest side effects. A trial in humans would be the ideal way to answer the questiop.s. But the logistical and ethical obstaCles were daunting. Exposing healthy people to plague was out of the question, and most cases 'of the disease occur in the developing world. There are fewer than a dozen plague cases a year in the United States. , But Butler wasn't deterred. After studying several options, he rejected a return to communist Vietnam and decided that French researchers had the inside track in Madagas-. car. So Butler contacted researchers in Tanzania, and "they burst forth with enthusiasm," he said. ? In 2001, Butler took a yearlong leave from Texas Tech to lay the groundwork for a Tanzanian trial, which he jump-started with his own funds. Early that year, he arrived in Dar es Salaam laden with medications, syringes, and cotton balls-a goodwi.ll gesture to his collaborators-and met with Eligius Lyamuya, a well-known investigator at the Muhimbili Medical Center. Butler traveled to the mountainous Tanga region in northeastern Tanzania, where plague is endemic. There, using a spartan clinic as a base, he and his Tanzanian partners arranged for a side-by-side comparison of two antibiotics, doxycycline and gentamicin. The team members agreed that the study would inchld~ drawing fluid samples from the "bubos," ot- hideously swollen lymph nodes, of the patients to confirm the presence of Yersinia pestis, the plague bacterium. Butler would then isolate the microbes-and shaie his cultures with the Tanzanians. The Tanzanian government had approved the study, whereas the Texas Tech IRB had exempted it from its review because Butler said he was just a consultant to the Tanzanian principal investigators (see sidebar, p. 2056). After a long delay, the clinical trial finally began in early 2002. In Lubbock, Butler received word that his principal Tanzanian collaborator, William Mwengee, had enrolled the first of what would eventually become more than 60 patients. By then, the 11 September terrorist attacks and October anthrax letters 'had moved bioterrorism to the top of the political agenda. Butler srqelled new opportunities: "Idea in AM. Go after bioterrorism moneys for grant to work on plague," he wrote in one of his notebooks not long after 9/11. Indeed, scientists at three government agencies were eager to work with him; the uncertainty about plague antibiotics suddenly loomed large as a gap in national security. FDA soon decided to fund his work by "buying" data from the Tanzanian trial, which one agency official at the time called a "tnlly unique asset." Plague researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), meanwhile, agreed to con- www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 302 19 DECEMBER 2003 2057 BEI Section 4.pdf 010863Anthrax Page 517 of 1274 firm Butler's Tanzanian plague samples at their lab in Fort Collins, Colorado, the only lab in the U.S. certified to do so. And USAMRIID researchers were eager to add Tanzanian plague to their microbe collec- , tion. "We really want these strains," USAMRIID plague expert Russell Byrne would later e-mail Butler. In April 2002, Butler returned to Tanzania on a 10-day trip to reap his scientific harvest. He hand copied patient records and then packed the fluid samples in dry ice and dropped them into his footlocker for the flight home. Despite the worries penned in his journal, however, Butler testified that he did not ask U.S. or U.K. officials for transport permits before boarding. the plane-although he did have a letter from Tanzanian authorities. But he had no trouble clearing British customs when he arrived for a layover in London, where he checked into a hotel near Gatwick Airport. At some point during his stay, Butler met on a London sidewalk with microbiologist John Wain, the Imperial Collegf:? researcher who had once warned him about the U.K.'s increasingly aggressive enforcement of pathogen-transport rules. Butler popped open his trunk, he testified, and Wain gave him fresh dry ice to keep the vials cold. The next day, Butler flew into Dallas, Texas. As he passed through U.S. Customs, he did not declare his plague samples as "commercial merchandise," customs forms show. That act, the federal government later alleged, constituted smuggling. More transport violations ensued, 'court documents show. On 23 June 2002, Butler drove 1200 kilometers from Lubbock to CDC's Fort Collins lab to get his samples. tested-without the required government permits. On 9 September, he sent another set of plague isolates back to Tanzania in a FedEx b.ox labeled "laboratory materials"-and without a needed export permit. And on 1 October, Butler flew from Lubbock to Washington, D.C., carrying a third set of samples. He then drove to the nearby USAMRIID-again without the necessary paperwork. ? Nobody objected to how he had moved his samples, Butler later testified. Indeed, at least one government scientist had congmtulated him on his plan to hand carry them (s~e sidebar at left). And USAMRIID researcher Patricia Worsham would e-mail Butler tllat his Tanzanian study "was nothing short of miraculous:' 2058 19 DECEMBER 2003 VOl. 3Q2 SCIENCE www.sciencemag.org BEI Section 4.pdf 010864Anthrax Page 518 of 1274 at ly ld :ld c:J.e '" to lp ld ce k:J.e ,_ ot .sle er :J.e .ser ?a IY, lk ae 10 1e n- ort k, m ,d. tl~h tis al w. lt- :d, 12, b- ds ov:nt nry >rt om a he he ed at :u:m ?e- lil ng missing vials to chemist Michael Jones, the into a bioweapon in just 4 days.

At the trial, the two men differed sharply over how the admission was crafted and what it was intended to accomplish.

The dual contr~cts, which the FBI investigated thoroughly in the weeks after Butler's arrest, would not normally have gone to court, let alone been prosecuted as a federal crime. Now, the government added them as 54 new charges to Butler's original IS-count indictment. Internal Revenue Service agents also delved into what they claimed were huge, nonexistent expenses on Butler's 2001 tax return that saved him almost $40,000 in taxes. All told, Butler was facing 69 counts that carried a maximum of 469 years in jail and $17 million in fmes. Defense attorneys filed a barrage of unsuccessful motions to soften the blow. District Judge Cummings rejected their plea to suppress Butler's 15 January "admission." He also shot down requests to recuse himself because of his Texas Tech ties; to move the trial out of Lubbock, where the case was front-page news for months; and to separate the plague and fraud cotmts into separate trials. The defense team did win motions to suppress the polygraph results and to introduce heaps of e-mail evidence. For 16 days, Butler would' stroll into the George H. Mahon Federal Building-just off Buddy Holly Avenue-looking sober and composed. The courtroom was a high2062 pathogen-transport rules. His journal entry about the "challenges" of importing samples showed that he knew enough to know better, they argued, as did his downloading of the rules from CDC's Web site. Butler even warned other researchers about the stringent requirements, one scientist testified. Butler's hand transport was also reckless, they claimed. Plague is "in its own way as serious as the atomic bomb,'' argued prosecutor Michael Snipes, a master of hyperbole with the physique of a linebacker. One of the trial's most dramatic moments came when biosafety expert Barbara Johnson of Science Applications International Corp. easily crushed with one hand a plastic petri dish just like those that Butler had used to carry some plague cultures to USAMRIID. The dishes were a disaster waiting to happen, she warned. ?The defense never disputed that Butler broke the transport laws but argued that he did so unknowingly and in good faith. Nobody was ever harmed by Butler's bacteria, defense attorneys repeatedly reminded the jury. And the scientist was only "doing what the government wanted him to do,'' said attorney Chuck Meadows, a seasoned fraud . defender who favored flamboyant ties and spoke in a folksy Louisiana drawl. Three government agencies, including CDC, had encouraged Butler to go to Africa and then praised his achievements. ''And now they charge him with a felony for not havjng a piece of paper from another branch of the ceilinged, wood-paneled affair that was often CDC?" he asked. "Give me a break, folks!"

Those emails should be in the computer information that Special Agen~ lgot from my office computer. There are many emails in that timeframe in the "OLD FOLDERS AND FILES" folder. 2) Request for the first subpoena (early 2002) asking for our stocks. I gave the subpoena to 3) The first materials sent to the Repository. I gave to Special Agend hhe information. I'm sorry that I didn't clarify that "Dugway Ames Spores -1997" is also known as (is the same as) RMR 1029. The material was also known as "GLP Ames spores," even though they actually weren't technically GLP quality. As I related to you yesterday, I honestly don't remember who actually streaked the slants lor myself), whether the slants were directly inoculated from the stocks or from sheep blood agar plates. If the latter, I don't know specifically how many colonies were used to inoculate each slant. I regret that th~ spore stocks were overlooked in the first materials provided to the repository. I I 4} 1-1 strain. This was provided tal we found it in the refrigerator in my lab in 8313, and it was put into the FBI lock box in the 83 cold room. ~ed over the information on the calculations on the concentration of RMR 1029 spores with L___jWe performed more plate counts on the material yesterday afternoon, and we read the plates this morning. He collected the data. I also gave to him data and information related to past determinations on the concentration of the RMR 1029 spores. He also took possession of the remaining amount (about 2.5 ml) of the RMR 1029 spores. I 6) Where the flasks of RMR 1029 were kept. Since we had a lab (room 115) in Building 1412 at the time, and since the spores were intended for aerosols, it's possible that at least one of the flasks was kept in the lab refrigerator in 115 or in the 1st floor cold room (much less likely) for a certain amount of time. We were eventually - I think it was probably before 2001 - "moved out" of the area by Aerobiology: and at that point may have brought RMR 1029 material back to 1425. I honestly don't remember, but it would make sense. 7) Time period that we helped BioPort with their vaccine problems. The time period for helping BioPort was April, 2000 into the fall of 2001. 8) Lyophilized spores. I related to you yesterday that frozen spores, once thawed, look very poor. They clump and have lost considerable retractility. When materials such as proteins, viruses or vegetative bacterial cells is lyophilized, a "cryoprotectant" such as glycerol, albumin, sucrose, DMSO, etc. is used to keep the material from being damaged during freezing and thawing. I don't know if your scientists have looked for the presence of a cryoprotectant in the evidence, but that might be a reasonable idea. - Bruce Ivins BEI Section 4.pdf 010931Anthrax Page 585 of 1274 10 b6 RMR1 029 Spores .

USAMRIID o Fort Detrick Frederick, MD 21702-5011 AprilS, 1991 b7E I enjoyed meeting and talking with you at the recent conference on Biological Defense Research at UMBC. As requested I am sending you i) a photostatic copy of our 1991 ASM poster, and ii) photostatic copies of articles relating to the anthrax epidemic in Zimbabwe and to the transmission of anthrax by insects, and iii) other pertinent articles. My previous research experience includes biodeg~adation studies of a molluscicide used to disrupt the transmission cycle of schistosomes (as an undergraduate at the University of Cincinnati), studies on the modulation of diphtheria toxin action on mammalian cells (as a graduate student, also at the University of Cincinnati), research into mechanisms of pathogenesis of Chlamydia psittaci (as a postdocteral fellow at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), and studies on Vibrio cholerae at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda (as a teaching and research associate). I came to USAMRIID in December, 1980. Research into B. anthracis and anthrax had really just started at USAMRIID when I got there. Our initial studies (1980-1985) were heavily weighted in the direction of basic I and the research. It was tduring this period that the toxin plasmid t capsule plasrribd 1were identified, and the molecular mode of action of edema toxin. ( was elucidated. We also set out to learn more about the mechanism of Current studies by action of lethal toxin (what are the ratios in vivo o~ researchers include identification of auxiliary virulence factors (the primary virulence factors are, of course, toxin and capsule), development and improvement of diagnostic systems, and delineation of the reasons for differences in virulence between certain strains of B. anthracis. My main research continues to be the development and testing of prototype vaccine candidates. I wanted to point out that lethal factor and edema factor are not as protectively immunogenic as protective antigen, but they do elicit antibody production.

The tube was weighed, and it was estimated to contain about 0.01 g of material. In B-3, 0.99 ml of sterile water for injection was added to the material. After thorough mixing, the material was transferred to a second tube. The original tube was disinfected with b,leach, dried and weighed. The net weight of the granular material was determined to be 0.0145 grams. Ten-fold dilutions were plated out onto TSA, then incubated overnight. Plate counts were made, and it was determined that the original tube contained 1.93 X 109 CFU per mi. Since there was 0.0145 grams of material, this calculates to be 1.33 X 1011 CFU per gram of powder material. Visual inspection of the suspension of material under phase contrast microscopy found few (<5%) visible vegetative cells, a small amount (<1 0%) visible debris, and very few small clumps. Most of the m?aterial appeared to be individual refractile spores. Interpretations and conclusions: If this is a preparation of bacterial spores, it is a relatively pure preparation .. This preparation did not appear as pure as the material (SPS02.57.03) previously examined on October 17, 2001. The SPS02.57.03 preparation contained spores at a concentration of 2.1 X 1012 per gram. The SPS02.57.03 spores were thus approximately 15.8 times "hotter" or more concentrated per gram than the SPS02.88.01 spores examined here. the sample (in a microcentrifuge tube in a ziplock bag) from Bruce E.

The spores from the four preparations will be diluted to about 5 X 106 CFU/ml in WFI. A "0 time" sample will be diluted in WFI to approximately 5 X 102 CFU/ml and plated onto Tryptic Soy Agar plates (TSA). The spore preparations will then be incubated for 1, 6, and 12 hours. After dilutions are made in WFI, one-tenth-ml aliquots will be plated out for 1:1 ,000 and 1:10,000 dilutions of the heated spore preparations. All plates will be incubated overnight at 37?C. Counts will be made and the heat stability will be determined and expressed as the length of time at 70?C required for a 50% drop in viability.

Last fall, I became concerned that t~e fine powder of the Daschle letter as well as other potential anthrax letters and samples might not be adequately contained with the practices that were being used here in the Institute. I also was concerned that contaminati ? ? ? ? contai ese concerns an my ec1s1ons o pe orm surveillance cultures and the results of those cultures are accurately described in the attached document entitled "ExSum -18 APR 02, Bruce Ivins." The dates for the cultures taken in April are the 15th and 16th, as indicated by my corrections. Also, in paragraph 2 of that document, "December of 2002" should read "December of 2001". , In response to direct questions, I have the following answers: Q. How was the Daschle lett.'J'I~r"-~ho~.~oa.u..nLWd,.lei:.Wd... ?_,___ ____, A. I worked on this letter withf I b7C lwas also presrnt jn the lahl lwhen I tinroom was workinq with the powder from this letter. I received the letter from ! It had already been useqJD..11;1el area. It was contained in 2 or 3 ziplocks. I carried it to the passbox inL_j From the passbox, I took it to the hood inl opened it, and scraped some of the powder from the envelope and letter into a pre-weighed Wheaton vial. I was surprised at how fine the powder was. It floated around inside the hood like the sunlight. After removing the powder, I wiped off the vial with bleach, put the vial in aD propylene tube and bleached that tube. I then sent the vial out through the passbox into the lab f~ing. I showered out of B3, went to the B3 pass box, retrieved the vial and tube, and went tol__jlab. At the balance, I removed the vial from the tube and weighed the vial. After weighing, I put the vial back in the polypropylene tube, returned to B-3, put it through the passbox and, once inside B3, took it to the hood inC:] again. There, I added water to the powder and did serial dilutions for plate counts. After that, the vial stayed in the lab. I took the letter in the ziplocks, bleached the outside of the zi locks and returned the letter in the zip locks out through the passbox. It was returned to but I do not remember if I returned it or someone else did .. I I I .___-:---~Later, I also received vials of powder from the New York Post and Leahy specimens. The powders were already contained in tubes, and the contents had already been weighed. They came in the same way, through the[Jpassbox. I also received some other lthat came in through the passbox, but I do not remember how powdered sample froni these samples were packaged. Q. Did you tell an one that ou had done the surveillance cultures outside the containment area? A. I mentioned to hat I was going to checkl in December and toldc::::J o e cultures were suspicious for anthrax. I didn't keep records or after I did it that a ou verify the cultures because I was concerned that records might be obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. I was also afraid that reporting would have raised great alarm within the Institute, which at the time was very busy with the processing of samples for Operation Noble Eagle. I area, wiping it down with a dilute bleach solution, personally decontaminated and gave it little thought until the incident in B3 in April. I I I Q. Have you had any concerns about the lab operations that might cause risk to lab personnel? A. Seeing powder float around in theC:]hood raised considerable concern. In the future, I would not work with dried or powdered spores except in BL4 conditions. There needs to be more cleaning inside the suites and maybe surveillance. There may be some laxity in Bacteriology and, from what I have heard, possibly also irriMost of the workers in Bacteriology are careful, but a few are somewhat careless. Cleaning0f133 seems to be performed less than back in the 1980s. 1 BEI Section 4.pdf 010954Anthrax Page 608 of 1274 ' . o Q. Is there a regular plan for cleaning? Is the floor cleaned regularly? o A. Not that I know of. I can't rerem~er wheh the lab floor was last cleaned. We used to do weekly surveillance cultures inside the bs back in the 1980s, but these are almost never done now. Although there is a suite supervisor, there fre uentl does not seem to e ? ? common suite ? ? Q. Was the intensity of contamination described byl lwhenD did the surveillance cultures inside the lab after the incident on April 8 heavier than you would find when surveillance cultures used to be done? A. The total intensity of the contamination was greater and also of special concern, since spores were found on the inside passbox latches as well as on shoes and articles of clothing in the "hot" changerooms. When conducting surveillance in the past, we would sometimes find a few hot spots of contamination and clean them up, then re-check to make sure they were OK. Q. Did you report your concerns about cleaning to anyone? A. I believe that I mentioned it td lin the past. I've also informally talked with other investigators in the Bacteriology Division about cleaning and cleanliness issues. In the past, if people have had specific concerns about suite cleaning or cleanliness, they raised the issues in a general way( as well as the need for improvement) at Division meetings, but no specific individuals were mentioned at those meetings. Q. Have there been any other concerns about cleanliness? A. A few letters came into the Bacteriology Division for analysis during Operation Noble Eagle. The DSD was concerned that at least one of the samples they had sent to be tested was contaminated in roorrC:J AI Q. Who coordinated the sample processing in room II also worked in there. Normally it is ac===Jresearch laboratory. c:::J___ Q. What live agents come in and out of the B-3 area? A. For anthrax aerosol challenges , we send spores out through the passbox in a hard plastic transport container to be taken to Bldg 1412. Aeros~llenges are done there, dose is confirmed, and data are crunched in 142~thraxt____J>amples do not come back as they formerly did several years ago, since the L__fultures are now done in 1412 by land me.

The rotor is too big to take to the hood, so centrifuged in the bottles are usually removed from the rotor in the centrifuge. Q. Are there any secondary containers in that rotor, like sealed cups? A. No. Sometimes a bottle breaks and you can hear a slurping sound when the bottle is removed. Q. Does the centrifuge have a floor hood or other containment system? A. No. There used to be a system to evacuate the air in the centrifuge through a filter in case there was a break, but that hasn't been used in years. Q. That wouldn't help Jf there was a broken tube, would it? A. No. Q. Has the ventilation system worked OK as far as you know? Are there magnehelic gauges at 2 BEI Section 4.pdf 010955Anthrax Page 609 of 1274 the clean room entry? A. I don't think the suite has ever gone positive. I have never noticed the magnehelic readings in the entry. The gauge between the office area and the hallway are barely negative. Q. What are the procedures to follow if you have a potential exposure to B. anthracis? A. That depends on seriousness. If there is a small spill, wipe up area with bleach, cleanup verified by swabs. Individual reports to supervisor. Individuals with possible exposures are evaluated at I IReports of exposure are supposed to be done within the day. o o F 3 BEI Section 4.pdf 010956Anthrax Page 610 of 1274 b'lc From'L-----------------.....-.....1 Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 4:14PM To: Bruce Ivins Subject: Canteening in Gambrill Bruce, o o Page 1 of1 I'm trying to reach you to see if you have an interest in helping with canteening the FBI up in Gambrill from 6AM- 6 PM tomorrow.

Dr. IVINS was instructed that all the interviewing agents requested was that he listen to what the agents had to say. Dr. IVINS and the interviewing agents ther proceeded to the conference table located inl . office. Dr. IVINS was explained in great detail the current focus of the investigation and the circumstances surrounding the visit of the agents. Dr. IVINS was informed that the investigation into his April 2002 FBI repository (FBIR) submission was completed. The conclusion of the investigation, despite previous statements regarding his memory and his belief that others may have prepared the submission, was that it was he, Dr. IVINS, that prepared the submission and hand delivered it to the FBIR. After being informed of this information, Dr. IVINS responded with an "okay" and did not contest the conclusion that he prepared his April 2002 FBIR submission. Dr. IVINS was then informed in great detail that now that the investigators knew who prepared .the submission, there was confusion regarding how the submission was prepared, and why the submission did not appear to include a sample of RMR-1029. At one point, Dr. IVINS tried to explain that he was accustomed to performing single colony picks, and this may be why his submission did not genetically appear to be RMR-1029. Dr. IVINS was then told that based on previous statements to investigators this did not make any sense. The interviewing agents reminded Dr. IVINS of guidance and statements he had provided investigators in the past. He knew prior to the submission that there were similarities between RMR-1029 and the mailing material.

He knew the importance of the FBI's need for a representative sample to conduct the investigation. He knew thatl I would be analyzing the material on behalf of the FBI. Never before had he been subpoenaed to provide material to an FBI investigation. Based on these statements the interviewing agents advised Dr. IVINS that providing a single colony pick to the FBI would be completely contradictory to the guidance he had provided to the FBI to identify the source of the anthrax from the mailings. The interviewing agents explained that they were confused as to why Dr. IVINS did not contact investigators regarding the similarities between RMR-1029 and the mailing material. Dr. IVINS explained that he was provided t~~~e------~ tion in l~te 2001 to early January of 2002 byl who "talks''. Suggesting that he could not believe y ingl I says. Dr. IVINS could not recall if he looked for morphological variants in the RMR-~029 mater~'al, .....I subsequent to receiving this information froml...._ ________ Dr. IVINS was advised, that throughout the course of the investigation, he had been contacted dozens of times by investigators, and that the interviewing agents were confused why he would not have mentioned the similarities during one of these contacts, especially after he had been told by more than one person that there were similarities between RMR-1029 and the mailing materials. Dr. IVINS was also reminded of guidance he had provided early on in the investigation regarding colony morphologies and Bacillus anthracis Ames strain J i neaqes ~JSAMRIID. In January of 2002, Dr. IVINS had providedl Jwith a hand-drawn diagram to give to investigators duringinterview. The hand-drawn diagram outlines the USAMRIID Ames strain lineage, with a comparison to the Daschle material, and leads and directs investigators to focus their attention on thel llineage and not the IVINS lineage.

IVINS was reminded that both of these interviews occurred after he claims to have been made aware that RMR-1029 had similarities to the mailed material. Dr. IVINS was reminded that he had prepared samples of RMR-1029 for the FBIR in February of 2002. The samples were refused, because Dr. IVINS had failed to follow the specific protocol outlined in the subpoena attachment. Dr. IVINS had no explanation as to why he would not have followed the protocol for his official submission to the FBIR in April of 2002. The interviewing agents informed Dr. IVINS that the February 2002 samples were collected froml land genetically analyzed. It was explained in cleta1l that the RMR1029 samples from both the February 2002 and April 2002 sample sets, were polar opposites with regard to their genetic results. Dr. IVINS offered several explanations for why the RMR1029 from April 2002 was completely devoid of the genetic markers, which are known to be present in RMR-1029. Single colony technique or picking a colony that most represents the majority of colonies in the sample. Refuted by the interviewing agents, as outlined above. RMR-1029 has phenol, which could prevent the organism from growing. Refuted by the interviewing agents, since the protoco~ included within the subpoena attachment specifically addressesl I I ~----~ Maybe the April 2002 submission did not include RMR1029. Refuted by tl)e interviewina agents, since an e-mail from Dr. IVINS to SSA! lon April 9, 2002 identifies the April 2002 samples, to include RMR-1029. It was a gross laboratory mistake. Refuted by the interviewing agents, since it would have been TWO (2) gross laboratory mistakes, due to the fact that each sample consists of TWO (2) slants. He may not have received the subpoena with the instructions for submissions to the FBIR.

The interviewing agents pointed out that it would certainly make sense for Dr. IVINS to have followed the protocol for his submission in April instead of continually being rejected. Furthermore, Dr. IVINS was advised, that absent the subpoena protocol, it is reasonable to assume that he would have used the correct slants (Remel brand, or equivalent), and inoculated them ?as he had done in February. However, the phenotypic and genetic analyses indicate deception with regard to the April submission of RMR-1029 to the FBIR, when compared to the results obtained for his February preparation of RMR-1029. He did not know the importance of RMR-1029 at that time. ? Refuted by the interviewing agents, since RMR-1029 was the largest, most pure, most concentrated, batch of Bacillus anthracis Ames spores at USAMRIID, and had been used in numerous aerosol challenges since its production in 1997. In addition, it was explained that no one could argue against the importance of RMR-1029 during that timeframe, since it was believed that RMR-1029 could have been stolen and used directly for the mailings. This is especially important when taken in conjunction with the fact that Dr. IVINS knew that RMR-1029 looked similar to the mailing material. This coupled with the fact that for the investigation, RMR-1029, the parental material used in the mailings, was the most important submission to the FBIR. Additionally, a true submission was not obtained by investigators until it was seized in April 2004, causing a two year delay in the identification and follow-on analyses of RMR1029. During the middle of the interview with Dr. IVINS, and to change the direction of the conversation, Dr. IVINS was requested to identify who was ~ Upon hearing the name, Dr. IVINS immediately pushed away from t e table, crossed his arms and legs, exerted what he claimed to be a Fifth Amendment privilege, and refused to discuss anything about the name.

Again, Dr. IVINS stated that he would not comment on the name in question. Dr. IVINS on multiple occasions, during the course of the interview, stated that the conversation sounded accusatory and wondered aloud if he needed an attorney. Each time Dr. IVINS was reminded that the interviewing agents only asked that he listen to what they had to say. During additional conversations with Dr. IVINS, a reference was made regarding Dr. IVINS being an "expert" in the field of studies of Bacillus anthracis. Dr. IVINS took defense to the statement claiming that he was not an "expert." Dr. IVINS was told his claim was unrealistic based on his accomplishments, at which Dr. IVINS sat at his seat shaking his head in disagreement with the statement. At appfoxjmately ,:00 p.m., the interview was interrupted w h e n n e e d e d to gain access to his office, at which. point Dr. IVINS stated that he did not want to continue the discussions with the interviewing agents. Dr. IVINS was then informed that it was important that he remain for an additional five minutes before leaving. Dr. IVINS then requested that I lremain present for the remajnder of the interview.

Upon the departure of Dr. IVINS was informed the investigators had obtained search warrants for his residence, vehicles and office space, and that he would not be permitted access to them until the completion of the search. Additionally, Dr. IVINS was informed that the investigators had taken numerous steps to keep the searches quiet, and that it was in his best interest as well as the investigators the searches remained quiet. Dr. IVINS was instructed that investigators had arranged for multiple hotel rooms to ease the inconvenience this may cause him and his family. Additionally, Dr. IVINS was informed that the option was his to accept a ride to the hotel. ~VINS also inquired about the status ofl I and L_____j at which time he was informed that they were being interviewed and would also be informed of their option to stay at the hotel.

"\o ~--------~Subsequent Another former KKG meiliber with whom IVINS has maintained contact is IVINS, using the ? "jimmyflathead" email address initially "met"l !through Wikipedia postings, and the two ?communicate via email to this day. Although IVINS has never per~onal~y metl I he used the internet to research her after thei~ initial encounter which was possibly in 2006. In addition to learning! I name, IVINS knows she works inl land lives in I lbut he has never be~n to either location. IVINS has main~ajned several ~liases to include,~~~~ , ----....,, CARLA SANDER, ! .... J ED IVINGS, and BRUCE IVINGS. Additionally, he has used the following email address names: KingBadger7; jimmyflathead; Prunetacos; Goldenpheonix111; and BigSky. IVINS has strong feel~ngs about hazing, but they do not rise to the level of an obsession. He is specifically concerned with acts that terrify, humiliate, or injure individuals subject~d to hazing, and he has written letters to editors regarding the topic. On one occasion he wrote a letter to the editor of the Frederick News Post regarding hazing, and he signedl I I lname to it. Regarding ~he use of I I name in this instance or the use of any ,alias, IVINS has no rational explanation as to why he did so. From approximately 1981 through 1985, IVINS maintained a P.O. Box in Montgomery cornty: MD. near Fuince Orchard. He opened the box under the name ofl . . and listed CARLA SANDER as another.person who could rece1ve mail there.

Box was used when IVINS wanted to distribute copies of the KKG ritual book. Using the name CARLA SANDER, he placed advertisements in Mother Jones and Rolling Stone magazines in which he offered free copies of the ritual book to any "non-Greeks. 11 IVINS got requests for several months and mailed copies of the ritual book. Before mailing the copies, however, he compared the addresses of 'the requesting parties to those on his list of KKG chapters to ensure they were truly non-Greeks. By doing this, IVINS identified several KKG chapters which were trying to get copies of the ritual book, so he did not mail them a copy. This P.O. Box was not used for any other purpose. IVINS also used CARLA.SANDER for other KKG related matters. He once wrote a letter, as CAR~A SANDER, to the editor of the Frederick News Post regarding sororities. He created a 11 blog" on the internet entitled "The Legend of Carla Sander." The b~og was also KKG related, but it was ultimately removed. In the early 1990s, IVINS opened another P.O. Box in Frederick, MD. While he opened the box?in his true name, he listed I las an individual ~ho could also receive mail there. IVINS used this P.O. Box to receive literature regarding another of his obsessions, blindfolding orbondage. One such magazine he received was "Bondage Life." IVINS ?also corresponded withl I I lfrom Indiana on a regular basis regarding the obsession. The two exchanged photographs o~ blindfolded and bound women, and I lonly knew that he was dealing with IVINS eventually made a pact with himself that he would no longer use the P.O. Box once he turned 60, so,~e allowed the P.O. Box to lapse. IVINS does not recall obtaining.another P.O. Box after this one lapsed. IVINS used the "Bigsky 11 email address to send anonymous emails tol !regarding a male who was interested in her.

The journal addresses~issues such as abortion and homosexuality There was a time, however, when IVINS would take the publications to work fori Ito read, and they would make fun of the stories in it. IVINS does not recall reading any articles in the journal regarding hazing, sorority memberships, parental rights, or social services intervening on behalf of children. Years ago, IVINS submitted to a polygraph as part of the anthrax investigation. Prior to taking the polygraph, he did not research anything about the test, to include ways to defeat its accuracy. Likewise, he did not take any steps to defeat the tests accuracy or use countermeasures. In fact, IVINS stopped taking his anti-depression/anti-anXiety medication for 48-72 hours before the polygraph, and he offered to provide blood and/or urine specimens at the time of the test to prove he was not medicated. When IVINS was interviewed in March 2005, he was asked to consent to provide handwriting exemplars. Shortly thereafter, he researched experts in the. field'of handwriting comparisons who could possibly'be consulted about the technique. IVINS has no explanation why he researched the handwriting analysis but not the polygraph examination. ... After the anthrax attacks in 2001j IVINS immediately suspected! .of mailing the letters. When IVINS learned one of the victims lived in Connecticut,c::J I I He then used the internet to identify! lmother and determine where she lived in relation to the victim. It was then IVINS learned the two lived about a mile apart. Prior to the mailings, IVINS used the internet to research where lived in New Jersey. There was an issue regarding IVINS cannot recall taking leave on September 17, 2001, and, therefore, aannot recall why he did so.

On 11/01 to 11/02/2002, AMERITHRAX Task Force Personnel, along with the Washington Field Office and Baltimore Field Office Hazardous Materials Response Teams, the Laboratory Division, Hazardous Materials Response and Questioned Documents Units, and the Washington Field Office Computer Analysis Response and Evidence Response Teams performed searches of a residence, vehicles, office, and laboratory spaces. During the search of a Biological Safety Level-2 (BSL-2)containment suite within the laboratory spaces of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, sixty-nine (69) samples of liquid microbial samples were collected. Some of the samples had been rendered nonviable, while the others were non-pathogenic in nature. In addition to the sixty-nine (69) microbial samples, three (3) tubes containing unidentified powders were collected from ??the office .space.

By the way, I did some more research on the Symbionese Liberation Army that kidnapped [sic] Patty Hearst. Emily Harris, whom many describe as 11 the ringleader 11 of the dreadful group, had been a Chi [Omega] . It's unfortunate that an organization can have a lot of super members, but the ones who get the publicity, do it by doing something that others consider "wrong," or inappropriate. I happen to believe that . the "hazing" pendulum has swung too far in the "anti" direction. "Kidnapping" pledges at 5 am to go to breakfast at IHOP or ~enny's isn't hazing, period. It's the building of bonds, having fun together, and shows pledges that their ,entry into an organization is recognized and appreciated by the active members. I also don't believe that blindfolds automatically make something 11 hazing."

After agreeing to the voluntary, on the record interview, IVINS provided the following information: IVINS never visited Canada as part of his KKG obsession. He was shown a copy of a writing/poem about KKG on which the Greek letters representing a chapter of KKG located in British Columbia, Canada, were written. IVINS did not recall ever seeing the writing. IVINS could not recall the approximate date or even season of the year.when he burglarized the KKG sorority house in Chapel Hill 1 NC, but it occurred while he was living there. He entered the house at night through a first floor bathroom window which was located behind a shrub. Although there were several lights on inside, he knew nobody was there as those lights were always left on. IVINS, using a small pen light to help him see, went upstairs and looked for anything which was locked and may contain secretive sorority documents or materials. There was a. hallway closet which was locked 1 so IVINS used a coat hanger or some similar object to open the door. Inside the closet he found the 11 Cipher 11 and some documents regarding KKG rituals. The Cipher was a document encased in glass 1 and it referred to a book of ritual which IVINS also looked for but did not find. In an unlocked closet directly across from that which contained the Cipher were some blindfolds made from torn bed sheets. IVINS assumed the blindfolds were used for the KKG initiation/ but he did not take them. IVINS left after spending?about an hour in the house 1 taking with him the Cipher and ritual materials. Prior to stealing it from the sorority house, IVINS did not know of the Cipher's existence.

Because she was a member of KKG 1 IVINS paid close attention to all aspects ofl I life 1 and he would periodically ride by her house without makin1 contact with her. IVINS still remembers details aboutl _such as the make and model of the car she drove. Realizing that he needed the KKG book of ritual( IVINS drove to Morgantown 1 WV, one night to burglarize the KKG house at West Virginia University (WVU) . There were no lights on( and IVINS entered the house through a ground floor window. He looked around the upstairs for any locked closets 1 cabinets 1 etc. which may contain the ritual book 1 but he found nothing. IVINS then went to the first floor and found a locked filing cabinet which he forced open. Inside the filing cabinet was the KKG book of ritual which he took. The total time spent in the house for the burglary was 11 one half hour or less." IVINS chose the WVU KKG sorority house because it was close to where he 'was living at the timet and he could drive there and back in one evening.

Rolling Stone was chosen because its readers are younger and might be curious to see the material. IVINS was certain to give the copies away, as he did not want to violate any copyright laws. IVINS was then shown an internet posting regarding KKG secrets which was signed by 11 Author," and he believes it was posted by him on the Fraternitysecrets.com website. IVINS trip to the KKG sorority house at the University of Virginia (~TVA) was to visit it without entering or burglarizing it. He merely walked around the outside of the house before returning home. Because th~re were no KKG houses within a couple hours of IVINS' home, and becausel llived on the west coast, IVINS was forced to travel to satisfy his obsession. IVINS did not visit the University of Maryland KKG sorority hovse. He called the house for a reason he could not recall and left his name and tele;hone number. Officer! I I then returned the call. I palled IVINS twice before ~a-c~t-u-a~1~?1y reaching him, a n d l w a s aware of IVINS' visit to the University of Tennessee.

The police officer told IVINS that he was stopped for dr~v~ng nervously, but IVINS does not know what he meant by that.

He did sign out a book from the Library of Congress entitled 11 Sorority Girl, 11 but he could not recall whether or not he signed out any others. Regarding the research of KKG locations, IVINS never identified any non-traditional KKG locations such as rental or storage facilities associated with KKG. The University of Tennessee KKG office was not a sorority house, but it was located in a campus building. IVINS was shown a photograph of two mailboxes and asked to identify it. He did not recognize the photograph, but after he was informed that it was removed from a photo album seized from his residence, IVINS asked if the photograph was taken in Chapel Hill. He was told it was and was asked if the mailboxes in the photograph were those into which he pu~ I lab notebooks. IVINS does not believe he placed the notebooks 1n either of the two mailboxes in the photograph, as there were more businesses in the area where he left her notebooks. He could attribute no significance to the photograph. IVINS tried to havel lentered as a 11 Notable Kappa 11 on Wikipedia.

IVINS attempted to identify other notable Kappas, but only namedl I After a short whilf, and after struggling with her name, IVINS also named _as a notable Kappa. IVINS' other obsession, blindfolding or bondage, began when he was five or six years old. IVINS would place blindfolds on stuffed animals or teddy b~ars, and his interest was obviously nonsexual in nature. As he grew older, however, the obsession snowballed over the years and eventually took on a. sexual focus.

The book attributes Gulf War Syndrome to the anthrax vaccine and criticizes specific researchers at USAMRIID for their work on the vaccine.

There are fewer than a dozen such postings, and IVINS is identified only as "Guest." IVINS gave a copy of Vaccine A to! and he possibly gave copies to! and! The books were not intended to be gag g~fts or to promote anger from the researchers. Rather, IVINS found the book "interesting" and merely wanted to share it with his co-workers. IVINS also gavd a book about the anthrax investigation, but he could not recall giving any other books as gifts. I l I I Since using the P.O. Box in the Frederick Post Office, IVINS has not maintained any others. There were two vending machines in that post office, a smaller one for stamps, and a larger one for general mailing supplies. While IVINS would occasionally buy supplies from the counter and stamps from the smaller vending machine, he never bought any supplies from the larger vending machine.

There came a time when IVINS began to take walks instead of going for drives in his car. In order to be protected, he purchased two stun guns from the internet. When he got the stun guns, IVINS realized that he had to physically touch someone for them 'to be effective. Not wanting to get that close to a dangerous person, IVINS then purchased a 11 tazer 11 with which he could disable an attacker by shooting them with a dart from a distance. In addition to the American Family Association Journal, IVINS also took Newsweek and possibly Readers Digest to work. He does not recall reading, let alone taking, any copies of the National Enquirer or such tabloids to work. There was discussion at work about the 11 Spider Woman.of India 11 which was an article in the National Enquirer, but IVINS does not recall ever seeing any copies of the tabloid at work.

In that report, he opined the evidence is not "garage" spores. When asked what he meant by garage spores, IVINS explained they were highly purified and had no vegitative cells, debris, or nonrefractile spores. To produce spores of that quality, not only is very sophisticated laboratory equipment necessary, but one must have extensive experience in the purification process. Based on these factors, it is IVINS' opinion that the spores from the mail were grown/created in a laboratory and not someone's home or garage. IVINS volunteered thatl l"was the spore queen." ~~-___.1 on 1/23/02 and asked to explain what he meant by ._t_h_e _ __, _ IVINS was shown a diagram he drew and gave tol diagram. IVINS didn't remember drawing the diagram and asked when he prepared it and what the interview was about. IVINS was not told the date of the diagram or the context of the interview, and he was again asked to interpret it. IVINS was non-responsive to the question and would not provide an explanation of what he meant by the diagram. Rather, he merely identified the names and places written on the diagram. IVINS was then shown two photographs of spores grown on blood agar plates. One photograph was labeled "IVIN'S SPORE PREPARATION" while the other was labeled "FTD 1004 FROZEN CULTURE." IVINS had previously typed captions under each photograph which purportedly explained what was depicted in them. IVINS was asked if the captions verbalized what was meant by the diagram. The captions under the photographs read as follows: "Ame?s strain - From ~ul ture collection at USAMRIID. Similar J.n appearance to th~ Bacillus anthracis colonies from mail.

Although IVINS was ao~r~e~t~o~------~ understand what the diagram and captions explained, he could not remember the specific interview which caused him to create them. Additionally, he would not adopt the statements or explanations as his own beliefs. IVINS eventually explained thatl lwould make several subcultures, or serial passage the organism when growing them. This caused variants or mutations to appear. IVINS did not use serial passages. Rather, his cultures were all grown from the original slant provided to USAMRIID by the USDA, thereby preventing the creation of variants or mutations. The 11 BI Culture 11 depicted in the diagram refers not only to RMR-1029, but also to spores that were grown in the same fashion as RMR-1029. So when IVINS wrote that New Mexico, DRES, Battelle, and Dugway received his culture of Ames, only Battelle and New Mexico actually received RMR-1029. DRES received some frozen material, and Dugway was given spores from IVINS 1 culture so they could grow larger lots which were ultimately used to create RMR-1029. The spores in the photographs were grown on blood agar plates which makes it easy to identify mutations or variants. IVINS never saw the spores from the mail grown on blood agar, so he could not compare them to either his orl I spores. did make that comparison, however, and told IVINS what~~~~~~--~ Namely, that the spores from the mail looked lik spores and not IVINS 1 o The only ?examination IVINS conducted of the spores from the mail occurred when he grew them on tryptic soy agar (TSA) plates. When growing spores on TSA plates, however, it is not?as easy to identify mutations or variants. When growing the spores from the mail on TSA plates, IVINS saw nothing in them which appeared to be an obvious mutation.

I lalso noticed the serif on the ones in the date, the use of 11 can not 11 as opposed to cannot, and the use of the word 11 this 11 in the letters. With all of these characteristics! I suggested that the writer of the letters may not be a native English speaker.

I 1 On March 1, 2007, Special Agentl conducted the following investigation: ~----------------~ During a March 31, 2005 interview, BRUCE EDWARD~ IVINS, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) , explained that he would enter the hot suites, especially B3, during off-hours as a way to 11 escape, where IVINS would just sit and think. IVINS noted that he could not sit in his office to escape due to the fact that security guardl I would enter IVINS'S office and engage ~VINS in unwanted conversation. 11 USAMRIID keycard access records for the period between 08/01/01 through 10/08/01 indicate IVINS enters tqe B3 hot suite on 36 occasions between 5:00 pm and 11:59 pm. IVINS never enters the B3 hot suite between the hours of 12:00 am and 6:00 am.

Keycard records do not have an entry showing IVINS "B301 keypad" into the hot suite 1 however/ writer? has seen on many occasions where am/pm records are recorded incorrectly and the logical sequence (i.e. B301 IN/M 1 B301 Keypad 1 B301 OUT/M) can be used to determine the am/pm hour. In this case a 8:50 am keycard ring is recorded and an analysis of the keycard records for the entire day indicate that IVINS does not enter Building 1412 until 4:54 pm making it impossible to have a keycard ring at 8:50 am.

The grand jury was also very accusatory. I'm fortunately taking a lot of. medication for depression, but that's only helping some. I also have to use a lot of caffeine in the morning, and then alcohol and sleeping pills at night. Do you realize that if anybody gets indicted for even the most remote reason with respect to the anthrax letters something as simple as not locking up spore preps to restrict them from only people in our lab - they face the death penalty? Playing any part, even a minor part such as providing information about how to make spores, or how to make them in broth, how to harvest and purify that could wind up putting one or more hapless persons on death row. Not pleasant to think about. In one of your recent emails you said that it would all be over soon. If they indict someone, that means that innocent people are going to get dragged through the mud by both the defense and the prosecution as the pre-trial and trial procedures move forward.

I !recalled conversations between! _and IVINS regarding the morphological variants found in the evidentiary spore material. SA; 1 sbcwe:l .,.

IVINS askedl if his samples had morphological variants similar to tne ones present in the evidentiary material. I Jnever grew out RMR-1029 (Dugway spores) out to observe the morphological variants in order to compare these rporrs to the evidentiary material. FBIR samples were coded so didn't know which samples were submitted by which researchers.

There was not much work going on in IVINS' lab at the time and the only study being conducted was the guinea pig strain study, which may have required entry into the suites to check on the animals. However, checking the animals would have only taken approximately 30 minutes. !indicated that in the 2001 time-frame it was common for IVINS and other anthrax researchers to refer to the Ames strain as such.

He used to go to his room and drink vodka in combination with Lunesta, Ambien, or Unisom until he blacked out. Then, he drank more when he woke up and sometimes would call in sick to work. Sometimes IVINS would wake up with car kevs in b is One time he fell and bloodied his nose, andl h;::md.

I I noted that IVINS seemed to forget a lot of things. lasked IVINS a question along the lines of: could "the other BRUCE" have mailed the letters? I !didn't recall him sayin~_ _:!2,o," nor did he take offense to the question. It seemed toL__J as if he had thought of that before. IVINS toldl lthat his attorney told him that with his dealings with the FBI, sometimes IVINS plays a puppy that wants to appease, and sometimes he plays junior-detective. IVINS has spent over $100 thousand dollars from his retirement fund, on his attorney. The next time IVINS has to testify, he will have to have a proffer. According to IVINS, the JAG on post wont allow anyone to talk to his attorneys. IVINS relayed that the way the FBI was treatinq him made him go over the edge, especially around November [2007]. I I I In IVINS's last interview [with the FBI] he was told the matefials in the letters had colony morphology variance. The way that llab did it was to pick a single colony so they wouldn't have the morphology variance. One would have to swipe over a plate to get the morphology variance. IVINS claimed his microbiology background taught him to always pick a single colony. IVINS talked about the submissions tha~ ~VINS made to the [FBI anthrax] Repository. He claimed that the first submission was fine, however, someone threw it away; and the second submission is where the morphologies were seen. IVINS spoke about the polygraph he took [for the investigation] and that he passed some questions but failed the one about taking stuff from work.

I remember that decades ago, Jewish students had to form their own fraternities and sororities, since they weren't permitted in other GLOs.) 0 IVINS: When my wife and I lived near Chapel Hill NC for a couple of years (while I was working at UNC), the area was actually considered "Mission Territory" because there were so few Catholics.

Diversity can be good, but some diversity (poor hygiene, swearing like a sailor, bigotry, backstabbing other people, etc.) can be something that would make a lot of people cautious about associating with them very much. I don't think that because one is Jewish, or of Asian ancestry, not very athletic, that they should be automatically denied admission into a quality GLOs. I do realize that certain GLOs are almost exclusively Jewish, or Black. I also know that there are some GLOs (Sigma Sigma Sigma comes to mind) that are made fun of because they have a lot of heavy members.

If I hadn't lived off campus in an apartment with 3 other guys, I would have suicide pledged Sigma Nu. IVINS: (A blindfold is NOT, NOT, NOT hazing! I've heard of Bachelorette parties where the participants "Pin the Macho on the Man." Is that hazing? No way. Silliness can be bonding. Working together for a common cause is? bonding. I hope you didn't have to change your whole ritual so that blindfolds were totally forbidden during the formal ritual. I would think that when a pledge has her big sister (or whoever) take off her blindfold, it can be a breathtaking, beautiful experience. Besides, I didn't think that the burned pledges were blindfolded during the cigarette burning anyway. What about trust walks? What about pinatas on Cinco de Mayo? Can't some common sense be used? You know when you're being whisked away early in the morning that you're going somewhere, you and the other pledges are feeling a bonding in the silliness, and you'll be rewarded with breakfast. Any time somebody wants to wake me up at 5:30 and take me to IHOP, I'm ready.) IVINS: I dunno, by the time I was in school, hazing just wasn't done. I think probably because public schools didn't paddle anymore and physical punishment was frowned on - which means kids don't grow up with the 3 BEI Section 6.pdf 011422Anthrax Page 1076 of 1274 CHS Reporting 279A-WF-222936-BEI o (Pending~, 07/02/2008 o mixed message that adults can paddle but kid's can't ... I imagine it was different when you grew up though - did you ever witness it (or receive? You were probably a good kid :-) I only got paddled once when I attended Catholic elementary school - I don't think it much worked (and the result is I'm now protestant haha.) Wow ... here I am, a non-Greek, being "pro-Greek" and agreeing with you about hazing!!!! I bet that members who witnessed both the "old" and the "new" ritual think' that the old one was much better. It would have been a binding, beautiful experience, one in which, both symbolically and in reality. pledges/new members come into the Light and the Knowledge. The new one you talked about seems almost like a bunch of people who like each other living in the same building. Your ritual should be a special, bonding experience, and simply walking into a room with your eyes open, closed, or blinking, just doesn't seem to hold the same mystery? or power. BTW I think this is privileged, but didn't they call Big sisters and Little sisters Didaska***** and Mathe******? (Sorry about my non-Greek abilities!) I saw a youtube "trust" project where they blindfolded a young woman at a Christian camp and had her stand on a board. They pretended to raise the board, then dumped her off it. She lay on the floor crying. It was very sad, and I know that if it had been a college sorority, it would have made the na ional news. So much for airness in media. I actua ly wrote about it in Greek at.com under the name Go n hoenix. Did yo~ ever go to a cursillo/de colores weekend? (I can't remember if you said that before). I attended a youth version of one and the trust walk/blindfold was really integral to the experience. But, no one accuses churches of hazing. I think people form a stereotype of what they expect then look for the evidence to support the theory. My only experience with a trust walk was being an obstacle in one! It was at the Newman Center at the University of Cincinnati. I had just had an operation to repair my ankle, and was on crutches, so I sat on the floor, and people got guided around me, over my crutches. It was neat to watch how important both trust and responsibility are. That's why I think that it's a good thing in GLOs and other organizations. I agree that if it's hazing for a nonGLOS, then it should be hazing for a GLOS. Maybe, 4 BEI Section 6.pdf 011423Anthrax Page 1077 of 1274 CHS Reporting 279A-WF-222936-BEI (Pending), 07/02/2008 o o b7D hopefully, Kappa and other GLOs can chart a course that reasonable people would not consider to be unacceptable. The key word is "reasonable." If you can do it in church camp, at a bachelorette party, etc. then a GLOS should be able to do it. If you want me to get you the youtube video, I can probably look it up, but it should be findable if you go to my Goldenphoenix posts. (My congratulations to all of you. If Kappa has something going on this summer (like donating books), I'd love to hear about ~t, provided it's in the area. IVINS: (I know! I've been at Ft. Detrick since 1980. I've seen a lot of things. But did you ever stop to think of all the things that Laura Ingalls Wilder (Little House on the Prairie) saw? Kerosene lamps, electricity, radios, automobiles, airplanes, television, phonographs, jet planes. What a life! ! ! ! ! ! ) I love the proverb "May you live in interesting times" I think it is meant to be a bit of a curse, but I find it exciting. Having come of age just on the beginning of the internet era I am curious to see where it all goes - I imagine it will be as transformative as the industrial age was to agrarian society.

Aprll10). "At this point, the FBI investigation has been focused on people who have had access to anthrax," said Mark Smith, a handwriting analyst who is familiar with the letters included In the anthrax attacks. "Taking Into account the possibility that these characteristics are inherent In the makeup of the perpetrator could greatly reduce the size of the Investigation." The FBI requested Smith's assistance soon after last fall's anthrax: attacks, he said. The FBI did not comment on Smith's handwriting analysis of the anthrax letters, according to the 71mes. The uniform and pronounced curving of the writing in the anthrax letters Indicates that the person who wrote them tlkely has bipolar disorder, Smith said. "(The sender) probably wrote these letters on a manic high, triggered by the Sept. 11 attacks," he said. The style of the writing also indicates that the person behind the attacks could suffer from some form of sexual dysfunction, according to Smith. "Anything below the baseline, such as the loops in the letters 'y' and 'g,' traditionally gives insight Into sexual characteristics," he said. "In the case of the anthrax letters, there's nothing below the baseline.ooo It means there Is nothing happening in the sexual zone of the writing, which leads me to believe the anthrax sender Is sexually dysfunctional." The use of block letters could indicate the age of the letter sender because it is a style taught to children from the late 1940s to the mld-1960s, Smith said. The use of all capital letters Indicates the sender was trying to demonstrate a sense of power, which is connected with a martyr complex, he added. Investigators have to be cautious when analyzing the handwriting used in the anthrax: letters, however, because there was an obvious attempt to disguise the writing, said handwriting analyst Roger Rubin. "It's very difficult to pierce the veil of personality when somebody could be trying to disguise themselves," Rubin said. "It's like looking at a mask on a person's face and analyzing the mask Instead of the person underneath it'' (Guy Taylor, Washington Times, March 18). BEI Section 7.pdf 011451Anthrax Page 1105 of 1274 o Guy Taylor THE WASHINGTON TIMES Published 8/28/2002 o p.3 The attorney for Steven J. Hatfill says the FBI has asked the former Army researcher, who has been named a "person of interest" in the government's anthrax probe, to submit blood and handwriting samples to investigators. "The FBI has asked for a handwriting sample and a blood sample. The neat thing is that Hatf'JJI is the one who had to tell them the kind of (blood] test that they need to be doing," Mr. Hatrdl's attorney, Victor M. Glasberg, told The Washington Times yesterday. Mr. Glasberg said he expects the FBI will be able to determine by tomorrow whether Mr. HatfiU's handwri,ting matches that on the anthrax letters sent in the fall to media outlets in Florida and New York and to two senators on Capitol Hill. The anthrax attacks killed five persons. Mr. Glasberg said that if the bureau does not make public its analysis of Mr. Hatfill's handwriting within "about fiVe days," Mr. Hatfdlwill submit samples to a private handwriting analyst who has offered to examine them. The FBI declined to confirm whether blood or handwriting samples have been sought. "Any handwriting samples and res.ults of any scientific or forensic examinations are evidence, which we don't discuss," said Chris Murray, spokesman for the bureau's \Vashington field office, which is leading the government's anthrax probe.. A new suspicious letter appeared this week at the Nashville, Tenn., offices of former Vice President AI Gore. Jano Cabrera, a spokesman for Mr. Gore, said the letter was received in the mail Monday. It was opeoed yesterday by office manager Mary Patterson, and white powder spilled when the letter was opened. The room where the letter was opened has been quarantined, and a hazardous-materials team is investigating. The envelope was postmarked from Tennessee and was stamped on the back with "This letter has not been inspected by the corrections department." BEI Section 7.pdf 011452Anthrax Page 1106 of 1274 1. o o p.4 Steve Hayes, Tennessee Department of Correction spokesman, said it is regular policy to stamp letters that haven't been inspected as being sent from a correctional facility. He said the wording the department uses is different from that on the letter. On Sunday, Mr. Hatfill said he would voluntarily submit a blood test to the FBI to confirm whether be had been exposed or inoculated against anthrax. It was not clear at that time whether the FBI would accept the offer. Mr. HatfJ.Il told reporters the blood test was his idea and the fact that the FBI had not yet asked him to submit samples indicated the government's unfamiliarity with conducting such a scientific investigation. Mr. Glasberg said yest~rday he wanted the results of any blood work or handwriting analysis be widely publicized to help exonerate his client. He said he was considering an off~r made by Virginia-based handwriting analyst Mark Smith to examine Mr. Hatfillis handwriting. to Mr. Smith in April tol4 The Times that federal law enforcement authorities had solicited his senices inimediately after October's anthrax attacks.

KRISTOF When someone expert in bio-warfare mailed anthrax last fall, it may not have been the first time he had struck So while the F.B.I. has been unbelievably lethargic in its investigation so far, any year now it will re-examine the package that arrived on April24, 1997, at the B'nai B'rith headquarters in Washington. The package contained a petri dish mislabeled "anthracks." The dish did not contain anthrax. But a Navy lab determined that it was bacillus cereus, a very close, non-toxic cousin of anthra.""' used by the Defense Department Anybody able to obtain bacillus cereus knew how to spell "anthrax." An echo of that deliberate misspelling came last fall when the anthrax letters suggested taking ''penacilin." The choice ofB'nai B'rith probably was meant to suggest Arab terrorists, because the building had once been the target of an assault by Muslim gunmen. In the same way, F.B.I. profilers are convinced that the real anthrax attacks last year were conducted by an American scientist trying to pin the blame on ~.1\rabs. In a column on July 2 I wrote about "Mr. Z," an American bio-defense insider who intrigues investigators and whose career has been spent in the shadowy world of counterterror and intelligence. He denies any involvement in the anthrax attacks. On the date that the perpetrator chose for the B'nai B'rith attack, a terrorism seminar was under way in the Washington area and Mr. Z seemed peeved that neither he nor any other bio-defense expert had been included as a speaker. The next day, Mr. Z sent a letter to the organizer saying that he was "rather concemed't at the omi$sion and added: ''As was evidenced in downtown Washington D.C. a few hours later, this topic is vital to the security of the United States. I am tremendously interested in becoming more involved in this area.... 11 Over the next couple ofyears, Mr. Z used the Brnai B'rith attack to underscore the importance of his field and his own status withln it. "Remember B'nai B'rith,'' he noted at one point. In examples he gave of how anthrax attacks might happen, . he had a penchant for dropping Arab names. The F.B.I. must be on top of the B'nai B'rith episode, right? Well, it was told about it months ago. But B'nai B'ritb. says it hasn't been asked about the incident by the F.B.I. The authorities seem equally oblivious to another round ofintriguing anthrax hoa.'tes in February 1999. As with last fall's anthrax letters, a handful of envelopes with almost identical messages were sent to a combination of media and government targets including The Washington Po~ NBC's Atlanta office, a post office in Columbus, Ga. (next to Fort Benning, an Army base), and the Old Executive Office Building in Washington (where Mr. Z had given a briefing three months earlier). BEI Section 7.pdf 011454Anthrax Page 1108 of 1274 o ' ?1~e Anthrax files - Kew York Times. o p.6 Page2 of2 I found a local policeman in Columbus willing to dig out his file on that 1999 anthrax hoax. There are several similarities with last fall's mailing. For example, one page of the 1999 letter says, in big, bold capitals: 11 WARNING: TIDS BUILDING AND EVERYTHING IN IT HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO ANTHRAX. CALL 911 NOW AND SECURE THE BUILDING. OTHER\VISE THE GERM WILL SPREAD." Last fall's letters are also in bold capita1s and use similar language patterns. In contrast to the 1997 package with fake anthrax gelatin, the 1999 letters each contained a teaspoon of fake anthrax powder (roughly the same amount as of real anthrax in 2001). That's interesting because as of 1997, U.S. bio-defense scientists were working basically only with wet anthrax, while by 1999 some had e21.-perimented with making powders. For example, Mr. Z apparently learned about powders during those two years. His 1999 resume adds something missing from the 1997 version: "working knowledge of wet and dry BW [biological warfare] agents, large-scale production of bacterial, rickettsial and viral BW pathogens and toxins." Two outside consultants used by the F.B.I. to examine documents in the anthrax case, Don Foster and Mark Smith, both say they have not been shown the 1997 or 1999 hoax letters. The 1999 envelopes canied stamps, which may have been licked. It would be fascinating to know whose D)TA that is. Perhaps when the F.B.I. is finished defending itself from charges of lethargy~ it will check.

'( It couldn't be Steve Hatfill. No way. Stan Bedlington had known the guy for several years. They were drinking buddies who'd both been involved in anti-terrorism efforts long before the World Trade Center crumbled. Now, suddenly, people were saying that Hatfill could be responsible for the country's fust case of domestic bioterrorism, a release oflethal antbrax through the mail that had left five people dead and 17 others infected in the fall of 2001. The FBI had just searched Hatfili's apartment in Frederick, looking for traces of anthrax spores or anything else that might tie the scientist to the attack. Bedlington hadn't seen Hatfill for a while, but he still had vivid memories of him. They'd first met at a Baltimore bioterrorism conference. Bedlington, a retired CIA agent, had spent six years as a senior analyst with the CIA Counter-terrorism Center. Hatfill was working as a virology researcher at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of fufectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, where he'd begun making a name for himself preaching the dangers of a bioterror attack. Soon they ran into each other again at Charley's Place in McLean, then a favorite hangout for the U.S. intelligence community. Agents and officials from the CIA and Pentagon mingled with private consultants and law enforcement agents. Most were cleared to handle classified information, but after long workdays and a few drinks, the conversation often veered to tales of dark intrigue and, occasionally, into drunken bluster. Hatfi.n, who first showed up there with men whom Bedlington recognized as bodyguards for Saudi Arabian Prince Bandar bin Sultan, had plenty of stories to tell. oo:.o:s :..o D.LL. ~6~1<!"~t He bragged about being an ex?Green Beret He walked with a slight limp and told people it "vas the result of being shot during combat. In a convincing British accent that he could tum on at "'ill, he described parachute jumps and commando trallling he did under the direction of the British Special Air Service. He detailed his exploits as a member of the Selous &:outs, an elite counterinsurgency unit of Rhodesia's white supremacist army thai became notorious for brutality during that country1s civil war. He even recounted a devastating outbreak of anthrax poisoning in the Rhodesian bush in the late 1970s, an event later suspected to be part of an effort by the Selous Scouts to ~ontrol guerrilla uprisings. Hatfill was always a little over the top. He once brandished a photo Bedlington considered "a little bit weird" -? an image ofHatfill in a biohazard suit pretending to cook up germs in a saucepan. Hatfill also described how easy it would be for a terrorist to enter the Pentagon in a wheelchair and spray a biological agent Even so, Bedlington was impressed by Hatfill. He considered him a "superpatriot" committed to improving U.S. preparedness for a biological attack. He mentioned Hatfill to a CIA recruiter as an ideal candidate for a clandestine operations job. After Hatfill's name surfaced in the anthrax case in the summer of2002~ Bedlington kept wondering: Did he really know 8/4/2008 BEI Section 7.pdf 011456Anthrax Page 1110 of 1274 o ~gtonpost.com: The Pursuit of Ste.Hatfill o p.8 Page2 of13 this man as well as he thought? Curious, Bedlington finally sat down in the den of his Arlington condomini~ typed Hatfill's name :into a computer search engine and found a copy of his resume. Hatfil4 it said, had graduated in 1984 from a medical school in Harare~ Zimbabwe, the former Rhodesia. Which bad no particular significance to Bedlington, until he did a bit more research and learned the campus bordered a suburb called Greendale. A fairly ordinaty name, except for one jaw-dropping coincidence: The fictional return address on two of the anthrax letters read "Greendale School. 11 From the air, the pond was little more than a splotch on a canvas of verdant green, a fishing hole tucked among thick woods on the edge of the Catoctin Mountains. Situated along a remote country road, it could easily escape notice on a drizzly morning as a helicopter chugged through the hazy clouds blanketing the Frederick horizon. Yet for days this past June, the prospect of what this pond might contain had captivated much of America. At the tiny Frederick municipal airport, news photographers waited their turns to climb to 400 feet and capture images of the secretive law enforcement operation transpiring below. The pond sat almost completely empty, sucked dry by pumps. Colors flashed from its banks -yellow police tape, the fiery glow of a welder soldering a black box, and a dozen sour-faced men in orange reflective vests, surveying the pond like disgruntled husbands dispatched to bail out a flooded basement. "That's it! 11 the helicopter pilot barked into his mouthpiece, dipping low. A small yellow earthmover sat stuck in the mud, going nowhere. A few trailers dotted a road, including one bearing 1he initials "FBL 11 In a panoramic sweep, the scene below showed the extent to which the agency had gone in search of evidence tying Steven Hatfill to the anonymous anthrax mailings. Such moments of grand theater had punctuated the anthrax investigation dramatic raids with agents in hazmat suits carting away sealed plastic bags, reports of bloodhounds sniffing out a likely suspect, images of brave divers plunging into icy ponds to pursue a promising lead. In a chase that had taken agents to the far comers of the world, more than 5,000 people had been interviewed and 20 laboratories used as consultants, according to U.S. Attorney Roscoe C. Howard Jr., who is overseeing the grand jury investigation of the case. The costs for scientific analysis alone had reached $13 million. Still~ after nearly two years, the criminal investigation seemed more stalled than the yellow earthmover. And as the months had dragged on, critics of the FBI's performance had begun to fear that the anthrax attacks might represent a ,.perfect crime," unsolvable not so much because of the killer's cunning but because of the FBI's inadequacies. Although Attorney General John Ashcroft vowed just last month that the case would be solved, and FBI officials say they are still pursuing a short list of suspects, only one man has been subjected to intense public suspicion: Steven Jay Hatfill. Before he was dubbed 11 a person of interest'' in the case, Hatfill bad been part of a tight circle ofU.S. government officials and consultants working to counter the global bioterror threat. He'd trained defense intelligence agents and soldiers in the elite Special Forces. He'd served as an adviser to the State Department's Diplomatic Security Service. He'd worked with the Pentagon, the CIA, even, ironically, with FBI agents, one of whom Hatfill recognized as a former student when his home was being searched. For more than a year now~ the FBI has monitored Hatfill's every move, following him so relentlessly that an agent drove over his right foot in a May incident on Wisconsin Avenue. Holed up in his girlfriend's luxury condominium near the Washington National Cathedral, Hatfill surfs the Internet and watches TV to stave offboredom. He's been unemployed for more than a year. A job interview he bad fell apart when the FBI followed him to the restaurant where it was taking place and began videotaping. R/A./?00~ BEI Section 7.pdf 011457Anthrax Page 1111 of 1274 o ~gtonpostcom: The Pursuit of Ste.Hatfill His supporters compare him to Richard Jewell, the man falsely accused in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing case,. one of the greatest embarrassments in the FBI's modem history. Hatfill insists he is innocent and, in a lawsuit filed last mon~ accused Ashcroft and the FBI of engaging in a "patently illegal campaign of harassment" to cover up their own failure to solve the case. The violations of his civil rights and privacy, Hatfill contends in his 40-page lawsuit', "are not honest mistakes. They are the acts. of government agents who long ago chose expedience over principle and abandoned any pretense of concern for the constitutional rights of an American citizen. 11 o p.9 ?age.:) or u The FBI, the lawsuit charg~ has wiretapped Hatfill's phones, made it impossible for him to work and leaked information about him to the news media "in a highly public campaign to accuse Dr. Hatfill without formally naming him a suspect or charging him with any wrongdoing." Hatfill's wish is simple, his attorney Thomas G. Connolly said in a press conference announcing the suit. ''He wants his life back." Whether that's possible depends on how the FBI resolves a single question: Who is the real Steven Jay Hatfill? Is he the zealous patriot so expert at preparing U.S. troops and agents for biowarfare that agencies risked security breaches to use his services? Or is he a contemptuous "catch-me~if-you--can" criminal, whose offband comments to an associate had sent agents in hard hats and knee boots scouring a Frederick mud pit, desperately searching for clues? The first to die was Robert Stevens, a South Florida photo editor whose blood was swimming with a bacteria that most doctors had seen only in medical textbooks. Cause of death: inhalation anthrax, the most fatal and rare fonn of the diseases caused by B. anthracis, the anthrax bacteria. Within two days of Stevens's death on October 5, 2001, doctors discovered a s~cond inhalation anthrax case at a Miami hospital. The victim, Emesto Blanco, turned out to be a mailroom worker and friend of Bob Stevens at the Boca Raton headquarters of American Media Inc., publisher of the National Enquirer. Although the letter that sickened them both was never found, Stevens's mail slot tested positive for anthrax contamination. Soon letters laced with anthrax began turning up in other places, first at the offices of the New York Post and ~-rsc News anchor Tom Brokaw, the~ on October 15, at the Capitol Hill office of Sen. Tom Daschle. The letter to Daschle ended "'ith the message: "Death to America. Death to Israel. Allah is Great. 11 At the time, the nation was still reeling from the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington. Many terrorism experts feared another attack, perhaps the release of a biological agent Now the country held its brea1h as others who had come into contact with the letters began to fall ill. The scope of the contamination was astonishing. The letter to Daschle and another to Vennont Sen. Patrick Leahy had rolled through highspeed sorting machines at huge East Coast postal centers, including the Brentwood distribution center in Northeast D.C., where two workers, Joseph P. Curseen and Thomas L. Morris Jr., died of inhalation anthrax. (Brentvvood was shut down on October 21,2001, and has yet to roopen.) Fine anthrax powder-- weaponized and lethal-~ bad rained over millions of pieces of mail. Spores surfaced the U.S. Supreme Court, at Howard University, at the Stamp Fulfillment Services building in Kansas City, Mo., at the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius, Lithuania~ at an accounting :finn in Mercerville~ N.J., at the main post office in West Palm Beach, Fla. at No one felt entirely safe from one of the most deadly germs known to man. The FBI first began to pursue the obvious, whether a1 Qaeda operatives were behind the anthrax release. Then investigato~ received the first DNA analysis of the anthrax spores found inside American Media's offices. The results were startling. ... o .. ? - - .. - ~"A""4:"'4 nM----- .... ----=-~ .....

Ivins also has a history of using fictitious names, addresses and other information to register for e-mail accounts. Ivins, in the past, has been known to use Yahoo!, America Online (AOL) and other e-mail accounts. Based on the above mentioned information, a WEB search was conducted for the term "BRUCEIVI" on 07/15/2008. The search returned a link to a youtube.com posting of a video clip of season 1 of "The Mole." Also posted on the link are multiple web log comments by an individual using the screen name "bruceivi." The comments were posted as follows: bruceivi (1 week ago) Steve had a great chance to Kill Kathryn that would go down as the primo moment in realitY TV. After the fake fainting he'd say, "Kathryn, do you know what a mole is? It's a blind useless,animal that humans hate. And do you know what we do to moles? We kill them!" bruceivi (1 week ago) With that he should have taken the hatchet and brought it down hard and sharply across her neck, severing her carotid artery and jugular vein. Then when she hits the ground, he completes the task on the other side of the neck, severing her trachea as well. The "Blind" mole is dead and Steve is a hero among heroes! I personally would have paid big money to have done it myself. bruceivi (1 week ago) Maybe something really dreadful will happen to Kathryn Price. If so, she will richly deserve it! The least someone could do would be to take a sharp ballpoint pin or letter opener and put her eyes out, to complete the task of making her a true mole! bruceivi (1 week ago) Put the next 3 comments from bruceivi together. bruceivi (1 week ago) Sorry if my comments offended people. This occurred several years ago. It was meant as a macabre twist to a pretty lame realitY show. burceivi.

Also, RNESTO BLANCO. another employee at merican Media Incor orated I , was not immediately diagnosed as having anthrax. op' ed that IVINS, having put all this effort into the firs , would have been frustrated that it was all for nothing. felt this would explain the difference in the overall quality of the powders used in the two mailings.! !recalled that the spores recovered from the letters used in the first set of mailings were described as "granular and multi colored." The spores used in the second set of mailings were finer and more uniform in color. Due to the fact that the first set of mailings did not achieve his desired effect, IVINS may have put more effort into producing the powder used in the second set of letters.

IVINS completed graduate school, and had earned a Ph.D., so he had to have been of aboveaverage intelligence. However, it was not as if IVINS was going to get the Nobel Prize. IVINS was still "low-level" after working at the p.s. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) for many years. At best, IVINS would be considered a "team lead" with approximately two or three people "under him." In an e-mail addressed to SA dated August 7, 2008, I I discussed IVINS' unauthorized environmental sampling o~ his office and other areas at USAMRIID. ~--~~~also discussed IVINS' attempt to decontaminate his office, as well as his officemate's work space and computer, with~--------~ hypochlorite (sodium hypochlorite) solution. According to~~--------~ IVINS' actions were inconsistent with bio-safety. During the interview,! !further explained his beliefs. According tol by December 2001, the difficulty of decontaminating off1ce areas was well known. Many of the office buildings that received the anthrax-laced letters would remain closed for seve~al years before being properly decontaminated. It was difficult to decontaminate office computers due to the ability of the spores to get under the keys of the keyboard. Also, spores were able to get into the CPU of the computer. The inability to easily decontaminate office space was such an obstacle that the CDC held a conference to address these issues. The conference, held over two or three days in December of 2001, was attended by individuals from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ~ Proving Ground (DPG), Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) and the U. . Arm Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (CHPPM). According to mGre than 250 individuals attended this conference. Also discussed during the conference were the problems associated with conducting environmental samplings of offices. It would have been necessary to use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuums to try to obtain particles from computer keyboards. This would have been difficult due to the inability of the vacuum to make contact with the area underneath the keys. In many facilities, it was necessary to use "..,.l.,.e a...,f...______, ... blowers" to force these particles out of the keyboard. ------::-:-.....1 recalled that the teams that conducted the environmental sampling at AMI used "tiny" vacuums to pull particles from the cracks and crevices of STEVENS' computer keyboard. The keyboard tested positive for Bacillus anthracis. 1.::1 I BEI Section 7.pdf 011566Anthrax Page 1220 of 1274 FD-302a (Rev. 10-6-95) o o ,Page _ _ 4=--- 279A-WF-222936-BEI Continuation ofFD-302 of - - L - - - - - - - - - - - - - - J - - - - - - , On 08/18/2 00 8 Many of the issues discussed t the conference were covered by the press. For example, LARRY ALTMAN, a medical columnist for the New York Times, covered these issues for his news publication. This information was also readily available on the "Web." Some information did not become available until December 9, 2001, but most of the information had already been disseminated. Many articles and publications discussed what problems had been encountered and what steps should be taken to properly decontaminate office areas. Whe~ asked if he would expect IVINS to have this meeting, [ r e p l i e d "Yes." of USAMRIID. attended the meeting and~g~a~v~e~~a~p~r~e~s~e~n~~~~---~ I who was IVINS' supervisor at the time, have ~t~a-I~k~e~a--w~i~t~h~IVINS regarding these issues. ~~--~~!considered IVINS to be extremely safety conscious. Therefore, he could not understand IVINS' actions regarding his attempts to decontaminate his office. IVINS' actions were "out of touch" with bio-safety. According to! I there was no way that simply wiping down the office space and'furniture with hypochlorite would properly decontaminate it. IVINS would not be able to get enough hypochlorite solution into the keyboard without "shorting" it. Rugs and carpets would also pose a problem due to the ability of particles to become trapped in the carpeting. The procedures used by IVp:s to decontaminate his office would not have worked. According toL_ I it would have been necessary to seal off the area for mont s, remove the rugs and fumigate the office using corrosive chemicals. The standard practice at USAMRIID, at the time, was to use paraformaldehyde for fumigation. ~------~lfound many of the actions taken by IVINS after the sampling disturbing as well. I I did not understand why IVINS, once he had confirmed there was contamination in his office and elsewhere at USAMRIID, did not report his findings to his coworkers. IVINS was placing his co-workers at risk for infection. Even if an individual has been vaccinated against anthrax, the vaccine is not "foolproof." It is still possible for individuals to contract hemorrhagic meningitis if Bacillus anthracis spores are inhaled through the nose.l !explained that this is the reason someone's nose would be swabbed if there was an exposure in the laboratory. I I could not understand why IVINS would put others at risk unless he was attempting to "cover up" something. If IVINS' story was that the contamination was caused by improper handling of the evidentiary envelopes by a co-worker, then that BEI Section 7.pdf 011567Anthrax Page 1221 of 1274 .

However/ after examining the evidence via electron microscopy, it was determined that there was no evidence of the presence of additives. I I opined that it was possible IVINS used a mortar and pestle to grind the spores once they were dried. The silicone could have come off of the mortar and pestle during this process. I I having knowledge that Bacillus subtilis was not found in the original flask of RMR-1029 1 also briefly discussed a possible source of the Bacillus subtilis found in the evidentiary material. I lwent on to discuss the several methods of drying that were possibly used by IVINS to dry the spores.! I suggested acetone drying as a possibility.

The e-mail then moves to discouragement from social interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks and how campuses were run by Greeks. The e-mail continues in the area of the Greek bias toward shallower things, such as, taking "the good looking," and not the personable as members. It continues on about the division or tiers of the GLO's, where, the higher tier's, such as the Kappas, Tri-Delts, Chi Omegas, and Thetas, looked down on all the other GLO's which were "nerds" or "pansies."
