IVINS ,On 02/12/2003 __, Page 2 IVINS weighed an empty vial in Roon[ ___] and then brought the Daschle letter into Suite B3 through the passbox. eS be scraped out some powder from the letter into a vial. There was not much powder in the letter, and some was flying around in the hood. He brought the vial out through the B3 passbox and to to weigh it, as[__ihad the most accurate scale in the area. He then brought the vial back into B3. [was resent _in B3 while Ivins[ sd worked on the 1etter, es outside of the room watching them through the glass in the door. 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. ! B3 workspace was shared with 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 equipment would have entered B3. This 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. bé b7C
