Dear FBI Director Robert Mueller, 

I don’t know whether you have seen Sunday’s Washington Post  
(Dec. 16, 2001) article by authors Rick Weiss and Susan Schmidt 
entitled “Capitol Hill Anthrax Matches Army’s Stocks: 5 Labs 
Can Trace Spores to Ft. Detrick,” in which a short list of your 
chief suspects is provided?  I am pleased to read these 
revelations, and wish to further facilitate your investigation 
toward a successful conclusion. As a Harvard-trained public 
health authority and independent investigator published in the 
field of using the FBI’s motivational model for investigating 
serial homicides involving infectious agents, I want you to 
know that on Monday December 10, I released a 20-page detailed 
report to the press, to members of Congress, and to your bureau 
chiefs, which has largely propelled these recent mainstream 
media identifications of the Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) 
and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as your principle 
suspects in the anthrax mailings mystery. (Download report at:

Given this opportunity on Los Angeles radio, I would like to 
have you respond to the following facts, and question, “Why 
should the people of the United States trust you and the FBI to 
fulfill your expressed mission to solve this case when:

1)	On October 1, 2001, approximately two weeks prior to 
the first publicized anthrax mailing, I personally delivered 
information to the FBI that should have prompted an immediate 
investigation of affiliated military-industrial and 
pharmaceutical contractors that maintain intimate ties to BMI 
and the CIA—-information and an investigation that might have 
prevented the mailings sent more than a week later from 
Trenton, NJ. In fact, as evidenced by Sunday’s report in the 
Washington Post, this information still appears to be actively 
suppressed, namely, the most obvious motives behind the mailed 
anthrax was to fan fears, dramatically expand pharmaceutical 
industry profits, and meet military-industrialists’ and 
political objectives grossly jeopardizing American freedoms and 
civil rights.

2)	Here are the incriminating facts Mr. Mueller: The 
Battelle Memorial Institute administers and supplies the Dugway 
anthrax proving facility in Utah where the only virtually 
identical Ames strain of silica-impregnated hyper-weaponized 
anthrax was found. According to Sunday’s Washington 
Post, “Dugway is the only facility known in recent years to 
have processed anthrax spores into the powdery form that is 
most easily inhaled. Dugway’s military supply is allegedly well 
protected by “multiple security measures,” (according to Scott 
Shane reporting in the Baltimore Sun, Dec. 12, 2001). BMI’s 
security is apparently not as strict.

3)	The Battelle Memorial Institute, (according to William 
Broad and Judith Miller in the New York Times, Thursday, Dec. 
13) provides services as “a military contractor in [West 
Jefferson] Ohio,” and “has experience making powdered 
germs. . . . [T]he contractor participated in a secret Central 
Intelligence Agency program, code-named Clear Vision [that] 
began in 1997, that used [allegedly] benign substances similar 
to anthrax.

4)	BMI directs the Defense Department’s “Joint Vaccine 
Acquisition Program” worth more than $1 billion in vaccine 
contracts; an acquisition program in which Battelle, as a CIA 
contractor, partnered with Bioport for America’s sole anthrax 
vaccine production. Bioport—largely owned by Britain’s top 
secret biowarfare consortium Porton Down, bin Laden family 
associate Faud El Hibri, Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr., a 
former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and others 
(including, according to some investigators, the multinational 
investment firm and defense contractor, the Carlyle Management 
Group, that managed bin Laden family millions prior to 9-11, 
directed by past CIA director Frank Carlucci, James Baker, III, 
and Past President George H.W. Bush); a vaccine maker that has 
negotiated a steady stream of controversy and illegalities 
since 1996, the year before the CIA contracted with Battelle to 
conduct a special study of aerosolized hyper-weaponized anthrax.

5)	Based on a September 7, 2001 Associated Press report, 
a “new strain” of extremely lethal anthrax had been under 
development before September 2001, by a U.S. biological weapons 
contractor, apparently Battelle Memorial Instititue in West 
Jefferson, Ohio, as this fit the intelligence published by the 
New York Times (wherein America’s top anthrax expert, William 
C. Patrick III, “said the American program had achieved [an 
unprecedented] concentration of one trillion spores per gram.” 
According to the Associated Press, a Russian munitions expert, 
Alexander Gorbovsky, voiced his government’s concerns regarding 
the increased threat posed by this obviously active U.S. 
biological weapons program—a program that an anonymous Pentagon 
official referred to as “Project Jefferson,” implicating 
Battelle’s West Jefferson labs once again. 

6)	“Project Jefferson” was ongoing around the same time 
American anthrax ace William C. Patrick III, was apparently 
contracted by Battelle Memorial Institute to develop a report 
on the ramifications of mailing powdered anthrax, much the same 
as what occurred in the wake of the October anthrax mailings.

7)	According to a 1998 New Yorker article written by 
admitted CIA consultant and exposed CIA propagandist Richard 
Preston, William C. Patrick III and Russian defector Kanatjan 
Alibekov (alias, “Ken Alibek”)—the world’s two leading anthrax 
experts—were very “close friends!” Both men held classified 
consulting contracts with the CIA and Battelle, Alibekov was on 
the CIA’s payroll at that time, according to Preston, and he 
was fully employed by the Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI).

8)	BMI, according to its website 
(http://www.battelle.org/nationsecurity/), is a virtual one-
stop-shopping-center for U.S. and foreign militaries, the 
Department of Energy, the national security industries, 
affiliated agencies, organizations, and institutions evaluating 
every major aspect of modern methods of population and 
environmental control and warfare. With nearly $1 billion of 
business volume annually, Battelle’s 7,500 scientists, 
engineers, and support specialists, have designed and developed 
a wide variety of innovations from the uranium used in the top 
secret “Manhattan Project” of WWII to the Xerox copying 
process. In addition to their voluminous research, development, 
and testing activities, this private institute co-manages 
America’s most secret enterprises including the DoE’s 
Brookhaven National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy 
Laboratory, Oak Ridge Laboratory, and fully manages several 
others including the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and 
Dugway’s “Life Sciences” facility which is intimately tied to 
their two biological level-3 “Aerosol Engineering & Biological 
Sciences Facilities” in West Jefferson, Ohio. (These appear in 
photographs on a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 
promotions slide at http://www.nrel.gov/surviving 
disaster/fema2000/Cbiac/sld016.htm.)

9)	Battelle’s “Aerosol Engineering and Biological Defense 
Science” description relays that their “Aerosol Science and 
Technology (AS&T) group develops lab experimental and field 
test procedures for . . . point-source emissions and the 
transport and atmospheric fate of aerosols by means of modeling 
and field assessments for industrial process.” Thus, the 
government “contractor” for whom anthrax expert William C. 
Patrick III wrote his mailed anthrax aerosol dispersal 
assessment could have only been Battelle for whom “Ken Alibek” 
worked; Robert Myers, Bioport’s Chief Operating Officer 
affiliated; and Jerry Hauer in New York’s emergency management 
helped facilitate tests. All of these suspects (except Alibek), 
played roles in the Department of Defense’s Joint Vaccine 
Acquisition Program that was accelerated for millions of 
dollars in biowarfare profiteering due to the anthrax mailings 
and national fright they caused.

In summary, there are several serious indicators that the 
source of the anthrax weapon used in the mailings was the Ames, 
Iowa strain of silica-impregnated and electro-statically 
charged anthrax produced by the Battelle Memorial Institute 
under their classified Defense Department “Project Jefferson” 
and/or CIA project “Clear Vision.” This hyper-weaponized germ 
was likely produced with the help (or under the direction) of 
Dr. Alibekov and/or Dr. Patrick. The fact that these Battelle 
agents and CIA-affiliated agencies gained notoriety, if not 
financially, as a result of the anthrax mailings and fright 
fits the parameters of organized conspiracy to commit military–
industrial sabotage and serial homicide approaching economic 
genocide. 

FBI Director Mueller, this is my third communication to you 
since early October. “We the People” of the U.S. want to know 
whether we can depend on you and your bureau officials to pay 
more than lip service to this critical investigation. We want 
to know whether your hands have been tied, or will be tied by 
U.S. National Security officials on behalf of implicated 
parties in the CIA and Bush administration—parties who have 
developed lucrative vaccine and drug contracts behind closed 
doors, illegally according to existing transparency laws, 
through vaccine representatives and profiteers in the 
organization known as PhRMA that directs, along with Bush 
administration officials, the Emergency Preparedness Task Force.

 “We the People” are tired of false assurances that “no stone 
is being left unturned” in the anthrax mailings investigation. 
Do you really have the courage and clout to pursue this 
investigation to where it obviously leads—to Battelle, Bioport, 
the CIA and even the White House? Or will you and your bureau 
leaders continue to sacrifice your integrity along with the 
lives, health, safety, and civil liberties of the American 
people to support this ongoing commercial cover-up and military-
industrial conspiracy?

Sincerely yours,
