explained that DR. BRUCE\ IV , United States
Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases
(USAMRIID), in the past, has sent seed stock on two to three
occasions. confirmed through viewing shipping records
from 1992 that the first transfer of AMES to Dugway was in
October, 1992. This material was transferred in two 15mL
polypropylene screw capped tubes. confirmed through
viewing shipping records from 1997 at second transfer from
USAMRIID to Dugway was in March, 1997. This transfer included
four one (1)mL vials of Ames spores.
[| described two major Dugway growth projects aside
from the 1997 Dugway-USAMRIID project that took place in the
1990's as the Chemical Biological Mass Spectrometer (CBMS)
project and the Battelle, High Temperature Incendiary project.
The CBMS project took place approximately from 1994-
1996, used a host of different strains of Ba (Zimbabwe, Vollum,
Sterne, and Ames) as well as Yersinia pestis and Francisella
tularensis. In the case of Ba, Casein Acid Digest (CAD) and
Leighton-Doi (media) was used to grow (in fermentors) and
harvest cells from log phase as well as spores from stationary
phas These products were then sent to USAMRIID as’ a
concentrated slurry and irradiated by either
