The I I s1ites areocate in building and are designated suites I Thepurpose of the searc 1S to collect 1) non-anthracis species ofBacillus isolates currently located inc==J ~iquots fromsamples of Renocal/Hypaque located in room~of thec=Jsuite,and 3) general evidence to include notes, envelopes, paperenvelope bands, tape, items with pieces of tape, and documentsthat may be evidence of involvement in the anthrax mailings.It is anticipated that this search will be conductedpursuant to consent. Consent tl: :ea:Cb rill be requested fromI I USAMRIID. _ . on Thursday November 9,2006. In the event that consen 1sen1ed, the search willproceed under the authority of a previously obtained searchwarrant issued in the District of Columbia. Application for thewarrant will be presented to the U.s. District Court, WashingtonD.C. on November 7, 2006. All search personnel will be advisedof the authority (consent or warrant) by which the search is toproceed.BackgroundBacillus subtilisThe anthrax spore powder recovered from the anthraxevvelopes addressed to the New York Post and Tom Brokaw containslow levels of a bacterial contaminant identified as a strain ofBacillus subtilis. The Bacillus subtilis contaminant has notbeen detected in the anthrax spore powder recovered from theenvelopes mailed to either Senators Leahy or Daschle. Bacillussubtilis is a non-pathogenic bacterium found ubiquitously in theenvironment. However, genomic DNA sequencing of the specificisolate of Bacillus subtilis discovered within the New York Postand Tom Brokaw anthrax powders reveals that it is geneticallydistinct from over seventy (70) isolates of Bacillus subtilistested to date. Analysis of the Bacillus subtilis from the NewYork Post and Tom Brokaw envelopes revealed that these twoisolates are identical.RMR-1029USAMRIID is a military research institute located onthe base of Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland. Prior to theanthrax attacks in the fall of 2001, USAMRIID was one of sixteen(16) U.s. laboratories which possessed the Ames strain of Bawhich was used in the attacks.

RMR-1029 was a large Bacillus anthracis Amesstrain spore batch produced to conduct numerous anthrax aerosolchallenges. RMR-1029 was produced in 1997 by scientists in theBacteriology Division at USAMRIID and was stored in the c:Jcontainment suite within Building c===J of USAMRIID.Investigation has determined that research strains ofBacillus subtilis, that have not yet been compared to theBacillus subtilis isolated from the New York lost and Tom Brokawanthrax powders1are located in thel_containment suiteswithin Building. I USAMRIID. In A:ril of 2005, a notebooklabeled "Cultures Frozen in I _ JBruce Ivins" wasprovided to the FBI. The book is an 1nventory 0 the organismsin the storage boxes within a -70°C freezer located in thehallway of th~suite. Many Bacillus species, to includeBacillus subt~~ are listed within the book. All of thesamples of non-anthracis Bacillus located within these storageboxes will be seized. These samples will then be packaged andtransported to the National Bioforensic Analysis Center (NBFAC)where they will be analyzed.Oneration Executionb7E3
