[aia not, recall Ames having been stored in any of
the following rooms or suites in Building 1412: 112, 222, 211 and
212. Room 210, the walk-in cooler, did not contain Ames from
IVINS! boratory. id not know what room 112 was used for.
Room was used fo work, where blood and sera were tested
for antibodies. L k in suite 211, and[__|did not
work in room 212, whi laboratory, until
after September 2001. aware of Ames having been
stored in any of the hallways of building 1412.
did not recall Ames having been stored in Building
1425, suites AAS, AA4 or AAS, or rooms AR105 and AR106. [-__Jhad
never heard of Ames having been stored in any hallways of Building
1425. To knowledge, there were no refrigerators or freezers in
the hallways Of 1425 Ames was taken out of a containment
area, such as suitesLo | it was carried dir to another
containment area, such as room[_] in eullding | Ames that was
not in a containment area was always in someone's possession.
When growing spores for challenges, IVINS' group used
seed stock from the original Ames slant. At one time, material
that had been grown from the original slant was sent to Dugway
Proving Ground for quick, mass production of spores. There was no
real difference between the spores made at USAMRIID and those made
at Dugway; Dugway was simply able to produce spores more quickly.
There was a lot of work involved in the preparation of spores,
including growth in a flask and the use of Renografin. IVINS'
group used the material received back from Dugway, as well as Ames
they had grown themselves, for aerosol challenges.[____—Jknew
that the Dugway material was used for aerosol challenges, but
did not specifically remember any one challenge where the Dugway
material was used. remembere t several rabbit
challenges were conducted with Ames. also recalled that
challenges were conducted using Vollum and possibly the Sterne
strain.
vaguely remembered that Building] _| suite|__|
was decontaminated and closed for renovation, and_that it came back
up sometime in 2002. did not remember suite ever having
been closed for renovations, nor _did[7_] remember Deing involved in
the inventory of items _in suite or the movement of samples or
