FD-302a (Rev. 10-6-95) 279A-WF-222936-USAMRIID;279A-BA-C101392 b6 b7C Continuation of FD-302 of On 07/25/2003 Page had the most expertise in the weaponization of Ames Ba. It is likely that anyone else with expertise in weaponization would be a Ph.D. level microbiologist. was unaware of any areas at UsAmRIiD that hac problems with bacterial contamination. The suites and in were under negative pressure. The air inside. vented through a filtration system with hoods that employed a b6 germicidal light and ultraviolet light. Bacterial DNA absorb the b7C wavelengths of this type of light and die from the absorption. b2 b7F did not work in building at USAMRIID. Researchers in building did "piggyback" into and out of the hot areas; however, they were protective of their workspace and only allowed close colleagues whom they regularly worked with to allowed to enter the suites during the time worked at USAMRIID. Anyone with access to the suites in the Division could have removed a sample of Ames Ba merely by taking a drop of Ames vegetative cells and sealing them in a small tube. The tube could be carried by hand out of the suite or wrapped. in foil and placed in the pass through box in Room Suite The foil would protect the Ames Ba DNA from the harmful ultraviolet light in the pass through box. is not aware of anyone who said they might make b6 Ba for improper use. Likewise, is not aware of anyone with b7C expressed hostile attitudes toward the media, the United States Senate or the Democratic Party. does not know anyone believes or suspects was involved with the mailings of the anthrax letters.(Note: described in a prior interview, dated 01/19/2002, how believes the Ba was dried and prepared for the mailings in 2ool). Rather, thinks the attacks were foreign based because they are the opposite of the mission and goal of the researchers at UsAmRiiD to protect the armed services and the public through development of a vaccine. is not aware of. anyone he has worked with who was lax in handling Ba or who inappropriately expressed interest in biological agents convertible to weapons. Likewise, is not aware of anyone at UsAmRIID oo nenthogotq nayao 'eg bugngnbae ut paasaaeaug aq on panoen] chemical agents or the means to produce them. is not aware of anyone who expressed an interest in undermining forensic
