Anthrax found at CIA - Walter Reed mailroom also has anthrax

    
(CNN) -- Traces of anthrax have been found in a building at the Central
Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia, where incoming mail is sorted,
U.S.  officials tell CNN.  Meanwhile, a mailroom at the Walter Reed Army
Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland, has tested positive
for anthrax, a military spokesman told CNN Friday. 

The amount of anthrax detected at the CIA was "medically insignificant"
an official said, but the building has been closed until further testing
and cleaning can be done. 

Officials say 31 different sites in the mail receiving building and the
CIA's main mailroom have been checked since October 23.  Only one site
tested positive for anthrax.  No CIA personnel have tested positive for
anthrax exposure, however antibiotics have been offered to all staff
handling mail in bulk and to any other interested employees of the
agency. 

Like many other U.S.  agencies, the CIA receives its mail via the
Brentwood post office facility in Washington, where two postal workers
have died from inhalation anthrax and a number of others are being
treated in hospitals. 

A spokesman for the U.S.  Army Medical Research and Material Command
said a mailroom at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research tested
positive for anthrax.  The institute does not care for patients and is
three miles from the hospital at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center. 
The spokesman, Charles Dasey, said the mailroom at the facility will be
closed Friday, but the institute will be open for business and employees
will be reporting to work.
