FD-302a (Rev. 10-6-95) omnes 1 ON oO 279A-WF-222936-USAMRIID Continuation of FD-302 of i eee ,On 09/17/2004 __, Page 3 There are over seven thousand numbers assigned to samples within File Maker Pro, which is an inventory database of select agents at USAMRIID. The numbers are assigned by File Maker Pro regardless of the PI or any other factor. The system was developed prior to the new Centers for Disease Control (CDC) regulations. [_ [CSC—~——SC*dWXUSAMRIID is changing the program to be more user- friendly and to better track samples. Implementation of File Maker Pro started around the time when the FBI served the first subpoena to USAMRIID in the spring of 2002. Researchers were instructed to inventory all samples in January 2002, but could not recall who gave this directive. They were suppose Oo register every strain they were in possession of, and each strain was assigned one number, with the quantity of vials of that strain noted. A sopy of this sample list was provided to the FBI not assign alpha characters, however an alpha character after a sample number may designate an aliquot. Prior to the File Maker Pro inventory system, the Ames strain used in Suites B3 and B4 was registered with the Safety Office at USAMRIID and given a number there. This Safety Office sample number covered all B.a. Ames and Ames variants within the suite. Delta Ames, Delta ANR, and ANR all have different parental lines and therefore were likely registered differently.
