| Daschle gets anthrax letter |
| 2001-10-15 |
A letter opened Monday in the office of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle "had anthrax in it," President Bush said. The envelope was field-tested shortly after being received, and the staffers who were exposed were being treated, he said. Within a few hours of the delivery of the letter to Daschle's office, officials in the House and Senate issued orders to all congressional offices to refrain from opening mail. A memo from the House sergeant-at-arms said the mail would be "picked up ... for additional screening and returned to you as soon as possible." |
