made in 1997, combined with spores made at USAMRIID by IVINs
and given the name "RmR 1029". IvINs believes that the
portion of RMR 1029 grown at USAMRIID was grown using SOp UIB-
BI-3. IvINs was unsure of the seed stock for the RMR 1029
spores grown at usaAMRIID, but believed that he
would
have used the same material as what was sent to Dugway.

it may be in his notes. Ivins stated that for RmR 1029, he was
more concerned with getting a large batch of spores than with
ensuring uniformity in growth conditions. He was also not
concerned with genetic variability in the Dugway batches that
were prepared for RMR 1029. The entire RMR 1029 sample was
