After the crashes of the aircraft into the World Trade Center in New York and the nearby Pentagon, I helped evacuate the Senator’s office. In the days and weeks that followed the shock of those events, our office, like most of Capitol Hill, focused on responding to them. A little over a month later, on October 15, 2001, the Capitol and na- tion were hit by another attack, this one involving the opening of a letter containing anthrax spores in the Hart Senate Office Building suite of U.S. Senator Tom Daschle (D-SD) that was only about a hundred yards away through an open passageway from my own room. Along with many other Senate workers, a few members of Senator Cleland’s staff (not including me), who were thought to have possibly been exposed, were tested and put on ciprofloxacin, which was the preferred treatment for inhalational anthrax. The Hart Building was closed on October 17. As the seriousness of the situation and the extent of the contamination became better under- stood (including the discovery that the mailroom in the Dirksen basement had traces of anthrax), the Dirksen Building was shuttered on October 20, 2001 and our staff had to “telecommute” from our widely dispersed homes. Although none of the Cleland staff members tested positive, and none of the few dozen Senate workers who were found to have been exposed subsequently developed an infection, and though the Dirksen Building was opened several weeks later (with the Hart Building following in January x Preface 2002), the physical disruption was real and the psychological impact was palpable. Subsequently, I had the privilege of serving on the staff of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the 9/11 Commis- sion), and thus had the opportunity to participate in that effort to understand and explain the September 11 hijackings, while making recommendations designed to prevent a reoccurrence. There was no such body created to perform an authoritative and compre- hensive examination of the anthrax attacks and to help produce public and congressional consensus behind appropriate policy responses. The genesis of this work was, thus, the notion to attempt to create, on a much humbler scale, a 9/11 Commission-like look at the anthrax crisis, including con- sideration of the attacks themselves, the evolution and performance of the defenses against them, and suggestions for policy improvements to reduce the probability of future such attacks. Lacking the resources of the 9/11 Commission, it was clear that some choices were going to have to be made in narrowing the scope somewhat to allow for the desired comprehensiveness in treatment of the chosen subjects. Therefore, though many other relevant topics presented themselves (includ- ing, among the defensive entities involved in some way in the anthrax case, the intelligence community and the Environmental Protection Agency), a de- cision was made to focus primarily on the public health system, which was the most directly implicated in the response. In providing a more thorough view of the anthrax attacks themselves, it was also determined that a limited look at the criminal investigation conducted by law enforcement agencies would be included. Having decided to center on the public health system, however, it quickly became apparent that limiting my survey to anthrax alone would not al- low for a true assessment of that system, which was, and is, faced with a large number of ongoing challenges, including one—the threat of pandemic influenza—that has emerged since 2001 as perhaps an even greater concern than bioterrorism in the eyes of many in the public health community, the administration, the Congress, and the general public. In the end, the de- termination was made to broaden this study to include pandemic flu, in addition to anthrax and other biological weapons threats. And since the notion of infection is central to most of those threats, the more general topic of infectious disease control was also added. The primary point of analysis in the present work is at the policy level rather than on the medical side, so that, for instance, much more attention is given to the legislative and administrative authorization and funding of pub- lic health policies and programs than to the clinical descriptions of diseases and treatments. The goal herein was to assess the capability of the public health system to address the anthrax attacks and the ongoing challenges of bioterrorism Preface xi and naturally occurring pandemics, to offer some suggestions for remedying major deficiencies, and to do so in a manner that is accessible to policy makers, public health officials, and the interested public. Extensive endnotes are provided to help direct readers seeking more information on specific topics to additional sources.

    THE ERADICATIONOF POLIOMYELITIS (fhe Albert V.•Sabin Lecture) by Donald Henderson, M.D., M.P.H. University Distinguished Service Professor The JohnsHopkins University Baltimore, Maryland 21205 Cirode Quadros, M.D., M.P.H. Regional Advisor Expanded Programme on lmmunii.ation Pan American Health Organization 525 23rd Street, N. W. Washington, D.C. 20037 Introduction The understanding and ultimate conquest of poliomyelitis was Albert Sabin's life­ long preoccupation, beginning with his earliest work in 1931. (Sabin and Olitsky, 1936; Sabin, 1965) The magnitude of that effort was aptly summarized by Paul in his landmark history of polio: "No man has ever contributed so much effective information - and so continuously over so many years - to so many aspects of poliomyelitis." (Paul, 1971) Thus, appropriately, this inaugural Sabin lecture deals with poliomyelitis and its eradication. Polio Vaccine Development and Its Introduction In the quest for polio control and ultimately eradication, several landmarks deserve special mention. At the outset, progress was contingent on the development of a vaccine and the production of a vaccine, in turn, necessitated the discovery of new methods to grow large quantities of virus. The breakthrough occurred in 1969 when Enders and his colleagues showed that large quantities of poliovirus could be grown in a variety of human cell tissue cultures and that the virus could be quantitatively assayed by its cytopathic effect. (Enders, Weller and Robbins, 1969) Preparation of an inactivated vaccine was, in principle, a comparatively straightforward process. In brief, large quantities of virus were grown. then purified, inactivated with formalin and bottled. Assurance that the virus had been inactivated could be demonstrated by growth in tissue.

INTRODUCTION The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Septem­ ber 11, 2001 ("9/11") demonstrated to the United States ("U.S.") Gov­ ernment the U.S. is vulnerable to a wide range of potential terrorist at­ tacks. l The anthrax attacks that occurred immediately following the 9/11 attacks further demonstrated the vulnerability of the U.S. to biological attacks. 2 The U.S. Government was forced to accept its citizens were vulnerable to attacks within its own borders and the concern of almost every branch of government turned its focus toward reducing this vulner­ ability.3 Of the potential attacks that could occur, we should be the most concerned with biological attacks on our food supply. These attacks are relatively easy to initiate and can cause serious political and economic devastation within the victim nation. 4 Generally, acts of deliberate contamination of food with biological agents in a terrorist act are defined as "bioterrorism."5 The World Health Organization ("WHO") uses the term "food terrorism" which it defines as "an act or threat of deliberate contamination of food for human con- I Rona Hirschberg, John La Montagne & Anthony Fauci, Biomedical Research - An Integral Component of National Security, NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE (May 20,2004), at 2119, available at http://contenLnejrn.org/cgi/reprint/350/2112ll9.pdf (dis­ cussing the vulnerability of the U.S. to biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological terrorist attacks). 2 Id.; Anthony Fauci, Biodefence on the Research Agenda, NATURE, Feb.

  • See the Scientific Petition
    May 20, 2016 Implement the Endangered Species Act Using the Best Available Science To: Secretary Sally Jewell and Secretary Penny Prtizker We, the under-signed scientists, recommend the U.S. government place species conservation policy on firmer scientific footing by following the procedure described below for using the best available science. A recent survey finds that substantial numbers of scientists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believe that political influence at their agency is too high.i Further, recent species listing and delisting decisions appear misaligned with scientific understanding.ii,iii,iv,v,vi For example, in its nationwide delisting decision for gray wolves in 2013, the FWS internal review failed the best science test when reviewed by an independent peer-review panel.vii Just last year, a FWS decision not to list the wolverine ran counter to the opinions of agency and external scientists.viii We ask that the Departments of the Interior and Commerce make determinations under the Endangered Species Actix only after they make public the independent recommendations from the scientific community, based on the best available science. The best available science comes from independent scientists with relevant expertise who are able to evaluate and synthesize the available science, and adhere to standards of peer-review and full conflict-of-interest disclosure. We ask that agency scientific recommendations be developed with external review by independent scientific experts. There are several mechanisms by which this can happen; however, of greatest importance is that an independent, external, and transparent science-based process is applied consistently to both listing and delisting decisions.

  • Confidentiality Complications
    Confidentiality Complications: How new rules, technologies and corporate practices affect the reporter’s privilege and further demonstrate the need for a federal shield law The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press June 2007 Lucy A. Dalglish, Esq. Gregg P. Leslie, Esq. Elizabeth J. Soja, Esq. 1101 Wilson Blvd., Suite 1100 Arlington, Virginia 22209 (703) 807-2100 Executive Summary The corporate structure of the news media has created new obstacles, both financial and practical, for journalists who must keep promises of confidentiality. Information that once existed only in a reporter’s notebook can now be accessed by companies that have obligations not only to their reporters, but to their shareholders, their other employees, and the public. Additionally, in the wake of an unprecedented settlement in the Wen Ho Lee Privacy Act case, parties can target news media corporations not just for their access to a reporter’s information, but also for their deep pockets. The potential for conflicts of interest is staggering, but the primary concerns of The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press are that: • because of the 21st-century newsroom’s reliance on technology, corporations now have access to notes, correspondence and work-product information that before only existed in a reporter’s notebook; • the new federal “e-discovery” court rules allow litigants to discover vastly more information than a printed page – or even a saved e-mail – would provide during litigation; • while reporters generally only have responsibilities to themselves,
