"Dugway 2003 spores" and the "Dugway 2004 spores". Ivins copied
the UsAmRIID Form 11 that documented the shipment of Ba to Dugway in
1992. This document is maintained in an FD-340 in the 1A section of
the file. At this point in the interview, Ivins escorted the
the UsAMRIID form 11R for the shipment of Ba to Dugway in 1997.

Ivins explained that some samples of Ba have multiple numbers
used to identify the samples.
For example, RmR 1029 is also identified
as "7737". He explained that
who worked in Office ofb6.
Product Development and Regulatory Affairs (OPDRA) at USAMRIID,
b7C
assigned numbers for samples at the entire institute. Ivins noted that
Tis no longer at usamRiiD and is currently working in the Research
Triangle Park area in North Carolina. When a sample was moved between
buildings 1412 and 1425, it was assigned a different tracking number.
As a result, a sample could have as many as three identification
numbers. Ivins noted that the only number that was consistent in
identification of a sample was the Agent Inventory Number.
With regard to RMR 1030 and RMR 1029, IvINs stated that all
were made by IvINs.
RMR 1030 was prepped for an aerosol
challenge in the same way as RMR 1029 (described above). Ivins is not

1029. As with RMR 1029, the main flask storing RMR 1030 was never
b7C
taken from 1425 to 1412. Only the amount required for an aerosol
b7F
challenge was decanted and sent to 1412. Ivins then explained some
changes in the growth protocols that were used to prepare RmR 1030 and
RMR 1029 and the growth protocols used today. These differences
included the following: (1) using an orbital shaker (now) versus using
a side-to-side shaker (then); (2) growing the Ba at.

IvIns noted that there are several individuals at usamRIID
that grow spores. Most of the persons who grow Ba also grow spores,
although he was not sure of the amounts grown by each person.
