Scientific Committee Files Yuma Proving Ground: Series recommended for disposal: 29. Pamphlets 1. Technical Report Record Files, ca. 1948-67, 612 cu.ft. 1304-14 Printed and hear-print progress, interim, quarterly, and final technical reports prepared at proving grounds, and, on occasion, by private firms under contract to proving grounds. The vast bulk of the records (572 cu.ft.) were created at White Sands; these are arranged alphabetically by project and thereunder by launch date, and pertain to the development and testing of rockets and guided missiles from 1948-66. The remaining technical reports were created by Aberdeen (8 cu.ft.), Dugway (4.5 cu.ft.), Electronic (19 cu.ft.), and (yuma 8.5 cu.ft.). These reports concern research and development of items relating to chemical warfare; radar, mapping, radios, and other electronic devices; and ammunition, mortars, fuzes, trucks, and other items of military equipment. Reports from all proving grounds contain detailed historical and technical data on each project, and generally include relevant drawings and specifications. Much of the material pertains to technological development and testing rather than basic research. Permanent. Offer to NARS immediately upon approval of this schedule. 2. General Correspondence Files, ca. 1942-58, 411 cu.nft. AR345-220/18D and other items in the AR.345-200 series Letters, memorandums, reports, and other correspondence relating to a wide variety of functions and activities of proving grounds. The Yast bulk of this correspondence concerns ephemeral transactions and procedures pertaining to the day-to-day operations of the creating units. Almost every proving ground created general correspondence files, but the volume varies greatly. Well over half the material (259 cu.ft.n) comes from Aberdeen·; Jefferson created 74 cu.nft.n; White Sands has 66 cu.nft. Much smaller volumes come from Dugway (4.n5 cu.ft.), Edgewood (2 cu.nft.n), and the Electronic Proving Ground (3.n8 cu.nft.n). The material from Southwestern amounts to 2 cu.nft.n, and contains the oldest records in the series and the only ones from the World War II period; these records also constitute the only material from Southwestern in the collection. Approximatelynone-fi£thnof the series is security classified, and consists of records from Aberdeen, Dugway, and White Sands. These classified files contain final reports, drawings and specifications, and other valuable material on research and development projects. The unclassified portions of the series are a mixture of valuable documentation and routine housekeeping correspondence. The important material from all proving grounds falls into certain categories of the War Department Decimal Filing System: 314.n7 (historical reports; 319.n1 (annual and project reports); 337 (conference files); and the whole 400-499 level (item testing and research and development project material). Similar documentation can be found in one run of correspondence files from Dugway that have no arrangement system. This item is applicable not only to centralized General Administrative Files, Subject Files, and Correspondence Files, but also to the specific administrative files maintained by individual offices. This item is not applicable to those individual files which have previously been scheduled for permanent retention. In addition, this item is not applicable to specific series or portions of administrative files described and provided for elsewhere in this schedule. a. All classified material; all material from Southwestern Proving Ground; all material found in War Department Decimal Filing System item numbers 314.n7, 319.n1, 337, 400-499; records of the type found under those item numbers but located in unarranged files. Permanent. Offer to NARS immediately upon approval of this schedule. b. All other material in General Correspondence Files Destroy immediately upon approval of this schedule. 3. Research and Development General Correspondence Files, ca. 1942-62, 24 ftn. 1301-01 Letters, reports, memorandums, and other correspondence relating to research and development matters, and created at Dugway (4 cu.nft.), Dugway's Mobile Unit in Florida (5 in.), and at the Electronic (1 in), and White Sands (19.n5 cu.ft.) Proving Grounds. Much of this material concerns the routine day-to-day activities,of the creating unit, but the series also contains records documenting research and development activities of particular proving grounds. The variation in the value of the material is extensive, and ranges from copies of technical directives and test schedules to reports on individual research projects. The records from the Dugway Mobile Unit at Bushnell, Florida, are the only ones in the series of World War 11 vintage, and contain data on field tests of DDT and Chemical warfare agents, project programs, and corres­ pondence on the relation of wind speed to bombing effectiveness. The small amount of material from the Electronic Proving Ground consists only of copies of routine technical directives. Material from White Sands and Dugway varies according to whether or not it is classified. The non-classified records consist of such routine items as budget correspondence on construction of facilities, and range and test schedules (disposable per AR340-18-1304-10). Classified records con- tain correspondence and reports on individual projects, such as specific missiles at White Sands, and delivery systems for biological warfare agents at Dugway. a. All classified materials; all records from Dugway Mobile Unit at Bushnell, Florida. Permanent. Offer to NARS immediately upon approval of this schedule. b. All other research and development correspondence files. Destroy immediately upon approval of this schedule . 4. Research and Development Case Files, ca . 1946-61, 138.5 cu .ft.

    DCN: 12358 For Commissioner Coyle Sir - this is your copy of the Fort Belvoir visit report, which is an addendum to the Fort Monmouth recommendation report. After our visit was completed, the Night Vision Lab sent copies of letters of support, and other papers that they say address questions you asked during the visit. Everything they sent has been included in this package for your perusal as well. They also requested that this report be sent to GEN Hill, but I have not done so yet and I believe that all of the pertinent issues will be covered when we brief all of the commissioners on our analysis.

The Research, Development and Engineering Command located the record, US Army Activity in the U.S. Biological Warfare Program, 1942-1977s, Volume 1. 25 February 1977. I enclosed a redacted version of the record. Additionally, we located an excerpt from the book Clouds of Secrecy, The Army’s Germ Warfare Tests over Populated Areas, written by Leonard A. Cole. Mr. Cole’s book is available to the general public on the open market. The redacted record was subject to FOIA exemption (b)(2) HIGH. Exemption (b)(2) HIGH protects substantial internal matters where disclosure would risk circumvention of a legal requirement. Additionally, the redacted information is sensitive to internal Army operations. Mr. Brian May, Research, Development and Engineering Command’s Freedom of Information Act Officer, conducted a brief search of the Defense Technical Information Center secure library and determined additional records may exist. If you seek additional information on this subject, I suggest you submit a Freedom of Information Act request with the Defense Technical Information Center using the title of the enclosed record.

    Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories 5th Edition U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institutes of Health HHS Publication No. (CDC) 21-1112 Revised December 2009 Foreword Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL) quickly became the cornerstone of biosafety practice and policy in the United States upon first publication in 1984. Historically, the information in this publication has been advisory is nature even though legislation and regulation, in some circumstances, have overtaken it and made compliance with the guidance provided mandatory. We wish to emphasize that the 5th edition of the BMBL remains an advisory document recommending best practices for the safe conduct of work in biomedical and clinical laboratories from a biosafety perspective, and is not intended as a regulatory document though we recognize that it will be used that way by some. This edition of the BMBL includes additional sections, expanded sections on the principles and practices of biosafety and risk assessment; and revised agent summary statements and appendices. We worked to harmonize the recommendations included in this edition with guidance issued and regulations promulgated by other federal agencies. Wherever possible, we clarified both the language and intent of the information provided. The events of September 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks in October of that year re-shaped and changed, forever, the way we manage and conduct work
