Continuation of FD-302 of Bruce E. Ivins ,On 09/08/2004 _ Page 7
"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
interviewing agents to the USAMRIID Safety Office to obtain a copy of
the USAMRIID form 11R for the shipment of Ba to Dugway in 1997. A copy
of this document is maintained in an FD-340 in the 1A section of the
file.
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 a who worked in Office ofbé
Product Development and Regulatory Affairs PDRA) at USAMRIID, bic
assigned numbers for samples at the entire institute. IVINS noted that
is 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
of the batches made at USAMRIID which weré incorporated in 1030 or 1029
were made by IvIns| CORR 1030 was prepped for an aerosol
challenge in the same way as RMR 1029 (described above). IVINS is not
aware of any deviations from protocol when growing RMR 1030 or RMR Dé
1029. As with RMR 1029, the main flask storing RMR 1030 was never = pic
taken from 1425 to 1412. Only the amount required for an aerosol b7E
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
(now) versus growing Ba at
that a new SOP is being drafted with the current changes incorporated.
Outside of these noted changes, IVINS stated there have only been minor
modifications to the protocols over time; for example, centrifuging for
20 minutes instead of 10 minutes. CS wout be good
sources of information on this topic.
TVINS 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. IVINS
listed the following persons as those at USAMRIID outside of his
