. FD-302a(Rev. 10-6-95) 279A-WF-222936-USAMRIID Bruce E. Ivins. ,On_09/08/2004 Continuation of FD-302 of Page 6 were never taken over to building.. Only the amount needed for a challenge was taken to in a Gibco serum bottle. The volume of RmR 1029 that was recorded on the Reference Material b6 Receipt Record was not based on visual observation but instead b7C was based on back calculating the amount taken from the original. b7F volume. When asked about a discrepancy in this record, Ivins explained that evaporation over the years as well as math. error would account for this missing volume. Ivins stated that RMR 1029 could have lost up to. a year and this would not be unusual because it is not stored an air tight container. He. noted that when they aliguoted tubes in the past, they would see an approximate drop in volume over time that they believe is from evaporation.. Ivins also stated that he is not sure how much his record is off from the actual volume because sA took the container and noted there was. approximately Jleft, but did not actually measure the container. Therefore, IvINs is unsure how much of RMR 1029. may be missing.. IVIns noted that he shipped some of RMR 1029 to the. University of New Mexico in 2001.. Ivins stated that this shipment was not recorded on the Receipt Record and he was not sure why it wasn't recorded. Ivins stated that the information on this shipment would be located on UsaMRIID form 11R in the Safety Office. UsAmRIID had previously shipped the Ames strain to Dugway in 1992. Ivins does not know what the 1992 shipment was used for at Dugway. Ivins believes that the 1992 shipment to andues 68ae. Io s8ne. ay?

USAMRIID was getting low on RMR 1029 spores, they contracted Dugway in 2001 to produce additional spores. Dugway put off the production of these spores and just recently sent UsAmRIiD the last batch of spores they were contracted to produce. The FBI is in possession of the first batch of these spores, called the "2003 Dugway" spores. Ivins is in the process of purifying' the last batch of these spores, called the "2004 Dugway" spores. eye ueag Ianau yonu aaem saaods Aembng L6nt dya aeea panou dnIeIe 2003 Dugway spores. Approximately 12 of the 2003 shipment could not be used because they were so bad. The only Dugway spores at USAMRIID are the 1997 spores, the 2003 spores, and the 2004 spores. Ivins noted that he called the 1997 Dugway spores the. "Dugway Spores".. The other two sets of spores were called the
