* 300 ml. of gamma irradiated Ames was sent from USAMRIID to Dugway in August 2001; is there record that it was in fact received (and not diverted)?

* USAMRIID can find no record that the large quantity of virulent Ames sent from Dugway to USAMRIID Special Pathogens Branch (to the FBI’s scientist at USAMRIID) in August 2000 and June 2001 was ever irradiated. Was record at least kept where the Ames was sent out?

* USAMRIID FOIA production today: Dugway shipped 175 ml. of virulent Ames to USAMRIID on August 30, 2000 by FedEx

* In addition to the 340 ml. of virulent Ames shipped to USAMRIID on June 27, 2001, Dugway shipped 175 ml. of Ames anthrax strain in late August 2000. That was when Dr. Ezzell, the FBI’s scientist at USAMRIID, made a dried powder out of Ames anthrax strain from Ivins’ Flask 1029 for the DARPA JHU-APL mass spec. project.

* Ivins was ordered by superior not to repeat the report that the powder closest to the mailed anthrax was made by DSD for DARPA

* I have asked Bruce Ivins’ superior by email today to explain the justification for the missing 340 ml. of virulent b. anthracis Ames shipped from Dugway to USAMRIID on June 27, 2001

* Dugway’s “Chief, Life Sciences Division” and the “Requesting Investigator” both likely would know the disposition of the 340 ml. virulent Ames shipped June 27, 2001 that USAMRIID cannot track

* Dugway scientist Bruce Harper initiated shipment of the virulent Ames to USAMRIID for irradiation by email to Dugway colleagues dated June 21, 2001

* Radiation Chief Robert J. Hawley was on vacation the week the 340 ml. shipment of virulent Ames came in from Dugway

* June 2001 Form EA-101: “Transfer of Select Agent” of Ames anthrax from Dugway to USAMRIID was produced today under FOIA
