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. This common drawer contained miscellaneous handwritten notes and papers produced by persons working in IVINS's B3 hot suite.
